They're the most sought after tickets in all the land, but as of yesterday, the application process for The Late Late Toy Show closed, with more that 125,000 applying. However, there's still one way you can find yourself there this year, as RTE have launched a competition with two of the coveted tickets up for grabs.

To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is go to www.rte.ie/latelate to download the 'RyanElf', cut it out and start taking pictures.

The instructions state; "Make the 'RyanElf' a part of a special occasion, bring him to your favourite spot in your hometown or maybe he could 'embellish' the perfect picture with a well-timed photobomb."

You then need to post the snap on Instagram, Twitter or The Late Late Show/RTÉ One Facebook pages, using the hashtag #ToyShowSnap.

Ryan Tubridy said; "Toy Show tickets are rarer than hen's teeth and this is a great opportunity for someone to get their hands on two of them. I'm encouraging everyone to be as fun and creative as possible with the RyanElf - I'm looking forward to seeing where he ends up!"

The Late Late Toy Show elves will collect all the entries and they'll go into a draw to win two golden tickets to this year's show. The usual terms and conditions apply and audience members must be 18 or over to attend on the night.

The Late Late Toy Show takes place on Friday, December 2nd.
