I couldn't see it before on my ticket page, but then I went to:
My Events (using the dropdown where my name is on the top right hand of the screen)
then 'Access the sale'
then it's there with 'Print my ticket'
I'm not sure about tiers - how do we find out what our tiers are😂
Yes that’s where I went too - mine just doesn’t have that option to invite. Haha
I’m speculating about tiers but it might make sense. I got my invite in the first wave but no option to invite. Others got invited later on but have the option to invite a guest. It’s all a mystery. Much like Hermes in general 😅
Received my invite a few days ago. My brother was eligible for the first day on Sunday but by the time since receiving the email and deciding to go, those slots are now booked up! So he's waiting to hear back regarding Monday. I've booked in for Saturday due to work commitments but I may join him on Monday as his +1... How have people found stock later on in the week from previous experience?
From my experience stock was good even though I went on the 5th day last year. Everyone has different styles, likes and dislikes, so I wouldn’t worry about which day you end up going to.
Of course I picked this exact week to go on vacation... and I'm not a VIP so Sunday was not a possibility 
Make me envious and be sure to post all your finds here!

Only the person invited will be allowed entry (although it will seem like entire families are there 🙄)
You have to check your bag into a cloakroom when you arrive and they give you a clear ‘thing’ to carry your purse etc.
I’m not going this year, it’s just too much hassle for me to get there from where I am.
The discount is great but the strict quota, obvious resellers (gangs of people with one person queuing and the others getting their full quota on everything (in different sizes!) and piling them with the person queuing) and 2 hours plus queue to pay just stresses me out.
I normally wish I’d gone when I see the scarves that people have bought but nevermind. Have fun everyone

I feel the same. It's a whole day, it's at least 2 hours just to get there. Resellers or not, it's a scrum. If I don't have anyone to go with actually I find it really pressured and boring. I also feel pressure to at least buy something to justify the trip, even if whatever was never on my list. Lots of scarves are available preloved on UK/European sites for less these days, many unworn too. I bought an HG from a consignment store for more than 50% off.
I preferred it when my SA invited me by word of mouth and it was at the Music Room. No scarves, but it was easy to get in, buy and go have lunch.
Sadly I didn’t get the invite. Someone I know is also without one and he received a rather dismissive email from his SA how they have no say over the client list as it’s organized by the third party. Really was hoping to go as a proper way to celebrate end of maternity leave. Hoping to see all your great finds here 🥰
My sentiments entirely..I remember many moons ago (pre-Music rooms) going to a sale located just behind the Grosvenor house hotel it was a really sedate afair with not many of us at all.
I did'nt recieve an invitation to this sale (SA left and I've not felt inclined to visit the boutique because last time I went back in July it felt like a zoo) and I'm not sorry because I did find the last few sales quite stressful it was'nt an enjoyable shopping experience too many resellers for starters.
I did get 2 fabulous scarves at the last sale but not the leather coat or boots I was hoping to aquire and tbh if I had recieved an invitation I probably would'nt have gone because I suspect I would have purchased just because I'd made the effort to go.
It seems a lot of people didn’t get an invite this time
I love the silks and would go just for the silks, but just found my receipts from 5 years ago and didn’t realise the prices have gone up by so much! I remember getting scarves for £300 and now they’re £450, so sale prices would’ve also gone up by at least £50 per piece.
