I've never seen anything at the Young Vic before but am desperate to see this. Do shows there tend to sell out quickly? Will be travelling when the public sale goes live and won't be able to book until 24 hours later. Am considering getting the £35 direct debit membership to get access to tickets today

Got 6 decent seats for the last performance before Christmas in the Amex presale today - looks like there's loads of availability across the run still! The Amex presale would not work at all in Safari on my Mac, just continually came up with the message 'something went wrong' whenever I put in the first 4 digits of my card to unlock the presale. It worked fine in Chrome though.

Was initially reluctant to see this due to the ticket prices. Last night I had originally booked a cheap £15 seat right up the back of the balcony on the side. At 7:10pm I asked the box office if they had any day seats left, and they did - so they let me upgrade my terrible seat to a seat right in the middle of the stalls for an extra £10! The view was amazing 😀 I might have just been lucky getting one that late in the day as they've only started doing day seats, but might be worth asking if you can upgrade if anyone has a cheap seat booked like I did.
Loved the show too!

I saw it on Monday and really enjoyed it too. I help to lead an LGBT employee resource group at my work so consider myself fairly knowledgeable on this sort of stuff, but I learnt a LOT. I've recommended it to my colleagues.
There was a lot of empty seats, and I really hope that word of mouth helps this show out a bit. This is really something that people need educating on, and this is a perfect time with London gearing up for Pride.
One thing that did annoy me was when walking in there was someone complaining to her friend that the ladies toilet had been changed to be gender neutral and was saying she 'didn't want to go in there if there might be men in there''. I hope she learnt something by the end of the play too!

For anyone that is frequently checking for returned tickets like I was, I'll share how I just managed to snap one up incase it helps anyone else! I saw someone mention a Firefox addon a few pages ago, but I don't use firefox so used this method. I used the website Changemon which will automatically check a webpage for you in regular intervals to see if anything changes - so you can ask it to check the NT website to see when the button to book tickets gets activated next to any dates. On the Changemon website, when setting up a trigger put www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/mosquitoes-whats-on-listing in the URL box, then the next box select 'when a word or phrase is added' and type 'Book Now' in the box. Then tell it to check every hour and put your email address in - this means it checks every hour to see if the 'Book Now' button is activated on the page and tickets are able to be booked 😀 I just received an email notification saying the page had been updated and picked up a ticket for late August. A couple of times I got notified by email and the ticket had already gone by the time I got to the page - if this happens you need to make sure you reactivate the trigger as it switches itself off every time it sends a notification - I only had to wait a few days before I got a ticket. Good luck! (I don't have any affiliation with the changemon website)
