Any date for when the show returns? Last year it was end of April - I assume we are about 1 month away?

Except season 3 (second Tuesday in May), the show has always returned in the final Tuesday of April.

That would be April 28 this year.

Been loving Aussie comedians recording comedy specials for YouTube. Aaron Chen, Guy Montgomery, Tom Cashman and more have some up.

It’s a shame Stan never kept up their One Night Stan series or Prime didn’t follow up their package of specials from Guesswork.

I got a ticket link for an upcoming Tommy Little taping that’s happening at channel 10 this week. So maybe 10 are going back down the path again.

Love the parody of that news promo that 7 ran a while back with the candid shots of presenters.
Cheap Seats returns Tuesday April 21.

Subtle hint at something new? The color palette is purple.

In contrast on TV:

Maybe just a mobile advertisement template colour. Wait til the promo appears on linear or 10WASF. Probably will pop up during Gogglebox tonight

I requested tickets. Looks like I missed out. Maybe in 18 months when they clear the waiting list..

Same. Put for both HYBPA & Cheap Seats, didn’t get anything

Yep, a nice little refresh of sorts.

I guess the colouring is to make it work better with the 10 W+SF stylising and 3D circles on endboards now?
On the otherhand, LOVE that yellow-purple-white outline splash on the circle.
Wish 10 got creative with it and made it animate into the promo. Wonder if it’ll crop up in other promos in future

I have always found it odd that The Cheap Seats has (or had) the same colour palette as HYBPA? You would think they would want to differentiate them as much as possible.

The purple looks good.

Bringing You The Stories That Matter.

The Cheap Seats Is Back, Tuesday 21 April On 10.

In these unprecedented times, it’s important to turn to trusted voices to bring you the stories that really matter. For everything else, there’s The Cheap Seats!

Back for a sixth season, hosts Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald have been scouring the news to bring you the world’s most unmissable, unbelievable, and unhinged updates.

Not every story needs a hard-hitting headline. Sometimes you just need to know what’s unfolding on the Archipelago of Love Islands – and that’s where Cultural Correspondent Mel Tracina steps in.

In the past year, The Cheap Seats has delivered standout moments including an exclusive interview with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, beatboxing brilliance from Reggie Watts, and an unforgettable on‑air slap from Lynne McGranger. The show even hit the road for The Cheap Seats’ very first World Tour* (*one city, one night only).

In 2026, expect even more special guests, celebrity cameos and red carpet reports. Where are the best seats in the house? Right here on 10.

The Cheap Seats Premieres On Tuesday, 21 April.

Watch + Stream Free On 10.

Is this me or I’m getting the type of the “Connecting You” 7News campaign? :laughing:

The show is giving away $1 million worth of fuel.

How much is that?

Update: There is no fuel giveaway. It evaporated
