How to get tickets for Race Across the World's Manchester experience revealed
Race Across the World: The Experience, which originally first started in London, is coming to Manchester this year and ticket information has now been confirmed.
The experience gives fans of the BBC series Race Across the World (RATW) a chance to race across the city much like the participants do on the programme, but on a smaller scale.
Each series of the programme sees pairs race a stretch of the globe with no luxuries such as mobile phones, flights or credit cards – they only have the cash that a flight would cost.
You'll have "no maps" and "no public transport" to help guide you, and you'll be against the clock.
How to get tickets to Race Across the World: The Experience in Manchester
Originally, when the attraction was announced, fans of the show could only sign up to the waiting list but now, we know exactly when tickets will be going on sale.
CityDays explained that those who signed up for the waiting list will be able to access discounted presale tickets from Tuesday, July 22, giving them a 20% discount and 48 hours access before those who didn't sign up.
The presale can be accessed by the website from Tuesday.
The general release for tickets will take place on Thursday, July 24. Tickets will cost from £25 and can be bought from the link above.
How long will the experience take to complete?
The 4-5 km mission across Manchester will take between two and three hours to complete, allowing players to experience the city like never before, according to organisers.
Players can expect to pass through famous landmarks, cultural hotspots and iconic pubs and cafes where escape-room-style puzzles await while interacting with characters on their phones, untangling directions and making crucial tactical decisions.

Gaz and Yin were eliminated in the earlier stages of the competition, so four teams in the 14,100km (8,761-mile) race successfully crossed Asia, the world's largest continent, to make it to the finish line.
Mother and son, Caroline and Tom, won series five of the BBC One show.
Housewife Caroline, 60, and 21-year-old Tom became the first mother-and-son team to win after reaching the final checkpoint in Kanniyakumari, the southernmost tip of mainland India, to claim their £20,000 prize.
