I've read some of the older posts about trying to get tickets for this. I'm slightly confused because I've seen 2 different times about when they would be released, and had a few people tell me something else. I am trying to get for May. I believe they will be released tomorrow April 1. I've seen they would be released UK time at 13:00,but also saw on the website it states, From 21:30-22:05. Could someone please clarify?!! I live in Va. {U.S.) which is EST and i believe we are 5 hours behind.
I'm just not sure what time to try?

There’s a five hour difference between Virginia and London, so you would need to get tickets at 8am tomorrow. However, this is a popular event so you will want to be trying to login before then to get your place in line. Keep refreshing until it tells you how long your wait time is. The 21.30-22.05 listed is the approximate time for the ceremony each night.
Ceremony of the Keys is fascinating and was one of the highlights of my last trip to London. Good luck getting tickets and have a wonderful time!

Thank you. I know someone mentioned setting up an account first. I just don't see where I'd do that.

They seem to keep changing the release time, which may actually be a ploy to avoid the large 'waiting room' that has been building up. It has been as early as 8am UK (and as of Sunday both countries are on Summer time, for the last 3 weeks it has been a 4 hour time difference to EST), sometimes at 1300 and sometimes 1600, it's even been the following day.
It is interesting they are not committing this month to a specific release time.
