Make sure you go to the Showboat web site (just Google Showboat). I paid £9.75 for the front row next Wednesday matinee. Going via other sites they were a showing as few pounds more.

Cheers for that fossil, just booked myself a front row matinee seat in a couple of weeks time, used my credit from The Suicide to pay for it. Funnily enough, using the credit from a returned Suicide ticket is what I did as well.
I see quite a few more row C tickets have now gone on sale for the first week of June.

A few £15 tickets for the centre stalls front three rows have just gone on sale for every performance. Presumably these were held back until the staging was finalised.

Not sure if someone has already mentioned this but anyone who did not manage to get a ticket will be able to experience the struggle and frustration of trying to book a ticket again soon. Almeida web site says: "There are currently no advance tickets available. We will be releasing more tickets on Wednesday 8 June. A small number of Day Seats will be released at 11am for that day's performance(s). Day Seats are not available for Previews. If you can't queue for Day Seats, download the Today Tix App and enter our official lottery for your chance to get £20 tickets - check back for further information soon. "

Thank you xander for reminding me of the front row tickets. Have booked centre front row seats for Lear and Cymbeline for only £8 each (over 60s matinee price via full members on line booking) and no booking fee. A bargain. The tickets are flagged as restricted view but I had no problem with the view last time I was in the front row at the Barbican.

It is not just the commercial sector that goes in for dynamic pricing. The RSC does this, albeit on a far more modest scale. From the RSC August 2016 - February 2017 season brochure "Prices are guaranteed throughout the priority booking period until Monday 29 February 2016. After this date, prices may vary by performance."
Checking brochure against current web prices for a couple of dates. Cymbeline 6 May increased from £42.50 to £47.50 and Don Quixote 22 March from £37 to £45.
