I'm surprised there are so many tickets available for April on website. Is this a slow period? I'm hoping that this will continue and I will be able to get more convenient tickets in July and can return my Aug 2nd tickets. I will continue to check frequently and then possibly spend morning for day I really want in the returns line. But if worse comes to worse I still have my original tickets My guess is, most of the people that are willing to spend £200 have already spent that money and seen the play. I really think they need to change the price of the premium seats. £250 for weekend shows is a bit ridiculous. It should go back to £199 (or £190 like it was last year). And £199 or £190 isn't ridiculous?

Hi, I have some tickets I can't use and need to sell, are they tickets still banned from reselling websites?

I couldn't find a clear answer about how the Friday Forty works, so I'll ask here - do I have to refresh the ticket page when the timer hits zero for the "magic" button to show up, or will it appear on the ticket page that I had already opened earlier? I really want to see the show when I'm in London next week, but sadly can't afford the premium tickets. Thanks!!!

As far as I remember, the button just appeared. Although I think in the past I have refreshed the page when it didn't appear automatically.

Most of them are great. Annabel as Delphi, James as Draco and Samuel as Scorpius are the true highlights. Wasn't a fan of the new Albus and Ginny though (compared to Sam and Poppy).

Just realised that ticket I booked ages ago for matinee tomorrow which my 91 year old mum was going to use is in Grand Circle rather than Dress. Having read the reports of the stairs and lack of hand rail not prepared to let her risk it. Too late to cancel. What do you think the chances are of me being able to exchange for something more suitable if I turn up at the box office late tomorrow morning? Unfortunately I probably won't be able to get there for 10am.

I don't know about ticket chances, but if you're going to be there that much in advance, it would be worth asking a member of staff about accessibility. At the very least, perhaps they could help your mother to her seat before the doors open and the stampede begins? They'll have had less-mobile patrons before, they must have provision to help.

Unfortunately I probably won't be able to get there for 10am. I would say very unlikely - the only situation in which they'll do that is if they've completely sold out including all of their returns, and even then it'll be conditional based on whether they can sell it. Certainly worth popping by and asking though. You may have more success selling it cheap to someone in the returns queue!

Having read the reports of the stairs and lack of hand rail not prepared to let her risk it The stairs are the same whether to the Dress or Grand circle, just more of them. I don't recall there not being a handrail. That said, it is worth talking to the theatre, they do try to help. Having sat in the very back row recently I can confirm there are handrails all the way up. Obviously it's a lot of stairs to get up there but if they could arrange early entry/usher help it could be feasible. So perhaps work talking to Box Office and seeing how they can help? stairs are nice and wide and each step itself not too steep so if given extra time/without the crowds your Mum might be ok?

Thanks for all the comments. The rail goes all the way up main stairs. We discovered once up there it is the lack of rail down to row A that is the problem. Even I found steps down very bad as much deeper than normal steps and nothing to hang on to.
Staff very nice and they did offer to do heavily discounted upgrade to stalls but as already at top of mountain decided to give it a miss. For 2nd show we swapped so I squeezed into row A in grand and my mum had row T in stalls. Fortunately an aisle seat and people in front small enough for her to see around. As a seat I would recommend it. Excellent view and loads of leg room. The view from Row A in grand circle also really good. Only had to lean forward for couple of bits but I am 5ft 10inches . Mum who is probably 4'10" had to lean forward most of time. Had been worried might be too hot there today but air cooling system was excellent.

So glad things worked out for you. How did you and your Mum like the show?

I thought it was great. New cast seemed to very at home with roles. My only criticism was the key character who emerges through the play - felt it came across as very amateurish the way role was played - a bit too pantomime for a baddy.

Steal of the year, seat A5 stalls. Only available at the box office, it's £20 a part. Slightly restricted view but honestly, go and get this seat if you can! I'd say you can see 99% of the show

I'd say you can see 99% of the show Ooh now this is interesting...how did you come across this? And do you have an inkling at all on what the chances of the seat being randomly available would be, considering you seem to need to know to ask for it at the Box Office I presume?? Thanks for letting us know! Desperate to see it again!

I booked it in March. You want to avoid D 2 but D3/E2/3 seemed only slightly restricted. A5 is great though. I'm gonna go in sometime this week and try and get it again for next year

Thanks for letting us know! Desperate to see it again! When my sister was over for her birthday in December, I managed to get us three seats in the sides of Row A about a week in advance - as I was seeing the show that day and had decided to try my hand at asking about tickets. We got the first seat in row A (which I sat on), and the last two at the other end, which my mum and sister took. For it being restricted viewing, you only miss the very back of the staff (however it does spoil some of the magic, as I was able to see off to the side of the stage at several times and see what was going on), but it's definitely a good seat if you can stag them.

I just want to say thank you to all on this thread! I went yesterday to the box office around 10am. Went in and they offered me a ticket for 140 pounds. I turned it down saying if I could wait for cheaper tickets. They said I could wait outside and they'd let me know if anything became available. Around 12:30 they came outside and offered me tickets for both parts for 40 pounds! Seats were incredible too...I sat in stalls F21. I was also the first person in line. A few minutes after another guy showed up. We both got tickets right next to each other. Nobody else was in line. Just want to say thank you, Otherwise I would never have gotten this incredible opportunity.

I'm not sure, but the lady at the desk did tell us we were incredibly lucky. The place looked packed, but I couldn't tell you if it was at full capacity.

My sister and I were at the show on Saturday, and I counted 40 empty seats in the balcony alone - at least - now there were latecomers, so we'll call it twenty. We had 8 empty seats just in the rows around us - and we were at the side of the balcony.

Should I see Harry Potter and Cursed Child? That's a question only you can answer. And equally up to you if you want to risk spoilers and read reviews or not! If you want a simple yes/no recommendation, then I would say yes.
