Also managed to grab a Row C £15 seat for May - god bless this board, I first had a look and considered it too expensive before checking here and discovering the bargain seats!

Costly business reading this forum since I probably wouldn't have bought a ticket after quickly scanning the prices...

if i hadn't checked here today i wouldn't have even known this production was happening! I know it had been discussed a few months back but i love the surprise announcement with tickets being available to buy on the same day rather than 'oh this productions happening in X time, and booking for it is X time away so the buzz will have died down' very smart to just announce it (or did i miss something?!)
also thanks to this board i got £10 Dress for the matinee before opening night, i feel so hasty to buy 6 months in advance but for that price and that seat I'm fine! Also with ATG cards you have free ticket exchange (though i doubt they'll be many seats left for this!) what a wonderful friday!

Booked at £10 stalls row C seat for this! Limited leg room but as I am a small wizened old man I should have no problem!!!
Also booked front row tickets for Dead Funny through lastminute for £10 too today - so it has been bargain Friday! Pity my local ATG theatre wants £35-45 for front stalls seats for a play.

Does anyone know the number for ATG took book tickets on the phone? I can't find it and need to use Theatre Tokens which you cant do online!
Thanks in advance, must get a ticket for this!

What are these Row C seats like do u know? Ur web has it set up for Overcast Midmorning and they ain't on there (Also, on a sort of same note, I wanted to look at red/green seats for the Hamilton theatre to get a headstart but coz it's dark u understandably don't have one up. Have u thought of having a standard seat plan with the Reds/greens when a theatre is dark?)

The monkey has thought ahead and has a provisional seating plan for Nice Fish on his site, which'll most likely be similar to this. The 2 outer seats on either isle of Row C are Red. He says they should be avoided as they are outside the pros arch, with a poor view of the outermost edges of the stage. "Unacceptable at the price...too close to the stage for distance to improve the viewing angle". Though for £15 I'm sure they'll be more than worth it!

I did originally think this could go to the Duke of York's as it is an SFP show but they probably know it will sell well so they're going to get more money at the Harold Pinter.

Well I am going to hope this does some form of day seats as I missed all the cheap row Cs for the days I could make and I don't really want to sit up on the levels. I can't justify spending high price to book a ticket at this time.

No £10 for date I wanted. Paid £55 for A2 and A3 of Dress. Hope the view is ok from the side.

Work once again gets in the way of cheap tickets, had no idea this was happening until now. I've booked the circle seats for £15 in March. Wouldn't have booked at all if it weren't for TB.

Snaffled a £15 Row C seat late last night. This is probably the one and only time in my life I'm happy not to have the long legs of a supermodel! ;-)

Thanks all for the info on this. Grabbed two Saturday Night row C stalls in May. What a bargain at £15 each. Hooray for the Theatre Board! I so want to thank everyone also. This was so off my radar and have booked ROW C! I think ROW C needs it''s own thread! Thanks to a Member of Theatreboard, I got the heads up on Bernadette Peters in Manchester. Booked front row when they went on sale and my Partner and I were both sang to close up in front of us, almost on our lap! The best theatre experience of my life! Thank you board!

So... is it a good play? Never seen the film. It's one of my all-time favorites. People who aren't keen on it have dubbed it as '2 hours of people shouting at each other' (well, that's how my parents described it), but there's so much more to it than that. I'd definitely recommend watching the film (clips if you're leaning towards experiencing it for the first time on stage); Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are electric in the two leads!

So... is it a good play? Never seen the film. One of the greatest plays of the American Theater. And with this cast, I'd say it's a "Must See". (Since they were so nice as to schedule it during my next visit to London, I've already booked.) I liked James Macdonald's direction of Bakkhai at the Almeida, and I see that he has also directed Albee's A Delicate Balance. So hopefully we'll have someone in tune with the piece and who won't muck it up. (Yes, I'm talking about you, Benedict Andrews....)

Oh, I see, I hadn't realised the parents were just talking about the movie. In which case, their comments are even less relevant to seeing the play!

Yes, I was referring to the film. My parents aren't regular theatregoers; when they do go, it's usually for musicals and more fluffy stuff that doesn't require a lot of brain power. They won't go near anything that they deem too "arty-farty" (Shakespeare, Beckett, Albee etc). I've told them many times that they're missing out but they just don't seem to care.
More for me, then!

Surprised this hasn't been reported yet. Per tweet from Baz:
Luke Treadaway has been cast as Nick, and Imogen Poots will play Honey.
