FAQs

πŸŽ™ CAN I CHOOSE MY SEAT?


Premium and Gold ticket holders will be allocated seats. Bookings are placed nearest to the stage in the order they book. Smaller bookings will be grouped together to make tables of 10 in Premium and groups up to 4 in Gold. 


General tickets are standing only. Some stools will be available on a first come, first serve basis. 


If assistance is required please get in touch so we can reserve a seat for you and your guests. 


πŸŽ™ I HAVE AN ACCESSIBILITY / VISUAL REQUIREMENT, WHAT DO I DO?


We are committed to making the British Podcast Awards accessible for everyone. If you or a member of your team have any accessibility issues or have specific requirements, please contact us at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to assist you further. Similarly you can input your specific requirement's on the guest information tab when purchasing your tickets via our website!


πŸŽ™ ARE THE BPAs BEING STREAMED THIS YEAR? 


No, the event has not been designed for a home-viewing audience but to be the biggest party the podcast industry has ever seen! High quality streaming would significantly add to production costs so we hope you can join us in person to celebrate.


πŸŽ™ HOW DO I FIND OUT IF I'VE WON?


By attending the event! But if you can’t make it, our social team will be working hard on the night to share the results as they are announced. Make sure to follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for full coverage.


πŸŽ™ ARE YOU DOING THE BRANDED CUSHIONS AGAIN?

Yes! We know you loved them last year so how could we not. πŸ˜€


Don’t know what we’re talking about? Every nominated podcast will be given a branded cushion with their podcast artwork on arrival at the event. Because no one leaves the BPAs empty handed!


πŸŽ™ DO I NEED MAKE A SPEECH IF I WIN?


We kindly request no speeches during the event. We have a lot of categories to get through and want to maximise your post-show celebrations and networking time. 


All winners will have the opportunity to be interviewed backstage immediately after coming off stage and your message quickly shared through our social channels - allowing you to let your audience know of your exciting news, maximising its reach and impact!


πŸŽ™ CAN ANYONE BUY A TICKET?


Yes. While the event will be widely attended by those shortlisted, anyone in the industry or those interested in podcasting are welcome to purchase tickets. 


πŸŽ™ WILL I BE SENT A TICKET?


Individual e-tickets will be issued at the time of purchased. Tickets and guest names will be checked at the door where a wristband will be given to you. 


Any name changes can be made directly by the booker in the ticketing system or can be sent to [email protected].


πŸŽ™ WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Translation please: dress up, dress down cross? It is a relaxed yet polished style that allows for a comfortable and stylish look. One that is ready to impress and party!
