Don't give up hope if you don't receive an invitation to a show you were hoping to see. Head along to the venue early and ask the publicist in charge if there are any Standing Tickets left. They'll often have a few extra on hand or have had some cancellations earlier in the day. You'll also win brownie points by not being arrogant enough to demand a seat. If it's still a no, stick around anyway as they'll often let in a few stragglers when everyone else has taken their seats. The front row and seated tickets will be let in first, followed by standing tickets and then it's a free for all. It can get pretty pushy a this point, so make sure to hold your ground and if you get the go ahead from security, walk in quickly without hesitation and grab a good spot. Shows early in the morning, late in the evenings and during the work week tend to be less busy, so there's more chance of getting through the door, sometimes even if you don't have a press pass.

**Top Tip:** Though most shows will take place at the official Fashion Week show space, bigger designers will host their events at landmark venues and secret locations. Check Twitter just before the show, as attendees will often tweet their invitation and you can head along for some celeb spotting.
