When is the X Factor 2017 live final? Date, time, venue and how to get tickets for the show
THE X Factor 2017 is well underway and the final show is on TONIGHT.
So when will the winner be crowned and where can you get your ticket? Here's all the details you need...
When does The X Factor series finish?
Usually the X Factor finishes a fortnight - or less - before Christmas Day to ensure the winner has a good chance of bagging Christmas Number One.
However, this year one of Simon's "big" changes has seen the final moved way forward to TONIGHT (December 3) at 7.20pm on ITV.
It goes up against Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 at the same time.
Where will The X Factor final be held?
In past years the final was held at London's Wembley Arena, away from the usual smaller studio venue.
This year the final will be held at London's Excel Centre for the first time in the show's history.

Where can I get tickets for The X Factor final?
You must be 16 or over to get tickets for The X Factor final - but they are free of charge if you manage to nab one.
The tickets for the show for Saturday, December 2 are available at Applause Store
All you need to do is register and you will be notified by email when the tickets go on sale (make sure you check your spam and junk folders).
Tickets are then allocated at random and you're allowed a maximum of two tickets per person.
Usually successful ticket applicants are informed of whether they've been allocated a ticket around 48 hours before the show kicks off in the evening on the Saturday - so those who haven't applied are probably out of luck by now.
Who won The X Factor last year?
The 2016 winner was Matt Terry, who managed to beat his Finnish rival Saara Aalto.
He then released Ed Sheeran's Christmas ballad When Christmas Comes Around, which only peaked at number three in the charts.
He was mentored on the show by Nicole Scherzinger, who this year has said she doesn't think the winner is in her category.
