If you didn't manage to get tickets before they sold out, you can still enjoy the Chelsea Flower Show.
Every year, Chelsea Flower Show tickets sell out several weeks in advance – this year, they had all gone by the end of the first week in May.
If you want to buy tickets for 2018, you’d best put a note in your diary now and get on to it next March.
How to get last-minute tickets
If you’re desperate to get this week, some of the online ticketing sites have availability – if you don’t mind paying well over the face value of £35, that is.
Stubhub and Viagogo both have tickets for sale at the time of writing for various time slots during the week, starting from around £150.
