When I looked Wimbledon was still on sale. I’ve booked using TodayTix credit for haymarket at the time I planned to go to Wimbledon! Yes, someone has posted a screenshot to Twitter! Sounds good! It’s all a bit messy! I assume Wimbledon tickets will move to a new date or just be cancelled. Moving them all to trh would be a logistical nightmare!

Few upset people on Twitter re Wimbledon - wanting to transfer to West End. Not sure of logistics but they're ATG and TRH are different.. but same producers? I DON'T KNOW. When I looked Wimbledon was still on sale. I’ve booked using TodayTix credit for haymarket at the time I planned to go to Wimbledon!

Does this mean Wimbledon in early July is off? Happy to rebook for haymarket and wait for atg but don’t want to end up with 2 tickets at the same time!

That’s a ticket agency. What I meant was Disney may only want to sell tickets themselves for the first month or two until things are more definite.

Where is saying September? if the show’s own website is saying end of just there is the best we can go with right now.

Nobody knows anything for certain right now (about any show as the unlocking stages are only confirmed a week ahead) but it might be they aren’t offering agency bookings until later as those are harder to rearrange if it does slip later.

This has just gone on general sale. I jumped on at 10:00 to get a pair in the front row on the one Saturday matinee I can definitely do (I don’t like chancing the trains home after an evening show there!

I got an email to use my voucher and am so busy I decided I’d wait until the autumn. Then saw the announcement and thought it would be cool to see Cassidy Janson so I’ve booked! Danny Mac is in for a very short time so I miss him. I was happy to see the show later in the year with any cast but after seeing Cassidy in Wicked, Beautiful, Chess, Man of La Mancha and &Juliet it will be cool to see her in a straight play.

I'd normally book direct whenever possible, but I seem to remember they went on sale with LTD first. Also Barbican had a booking fee anyway so no cheaper. I booked with TodayTix to use a voucher and it was the same price anyway. Would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those pesky delays Got my voucher and now I can’t pick from the seat map to get the seat I want

I'm very pleased to see there will be a streaming option. We had tickets for this last summer but I do not think we are likely to feel safe travelling all the way from Cambridge to Chichester this summer, so being able to see it streamed will, while not the the same as seeing it live, be better than nothing. I will be streaming too. Great they are offering that flexibility and a great business model to include people who may not feel comfortable travelling there or just life logistics. I’m hoping to get there in person but great to have that option too.

Greedy Producers who have a year to make up for I’m going for £20 which is less than you used to be able to go for. Not sure how it’s changed at the top end.

Not confirmed yet. I wish they would hurry up as if it is 21/07 I need to book the day off work (and maybe book a matinee before it!) Indeed. I also wonder if it is actually opening on a Wednesday, or if will be the preceding Friday - in which case they could move people who'd booked the first week of shows into like for like performances. Or indeed if whole thing will be later! Maybe they don't know yet. As LWT usually pretty prompt sorting things when they have definite dates. Got my new Cinderella confirmation a while back. I’ve now booked the 21st off and Amelie in the afternoon so fingers crossed but who knows right now!

This was nicer than the Criterion system but not as nice as others (as has been mentioned). We have to remember that the systems simply weren’t originally designed for these rules. It took me back to the good old days. Opening the site on 3 devices and choosing the best one seat of those offered!

Also has the re-opening date been officially confirmed? As lockdown shenanigans have certainly taught me that "on sale and taking your money from" date is not always the same as actual "opening" date. Although in fairness this is much more of an ATG trick and is not what one would expect from LWT.... Not confirmed yet. I wish they would hurry up as if it is 21/07 I need to book the day off work (and maybe book a matinee before it!)

Audiences are easily pleased these days aren't they. Principal cant even pitch it right but oo a sparkly projection. I hope the audience were directed to behave like that. Like an 'ITV audience'! I remember going to TV shows and being told to make a lot of noise whenever the value of the prize was mentioned. I also hope the real audience won't go that crazy!

Excellent news. Does anyone know if this is bookable from anywhere with seat selection? The Criterion booking system is not fun. They’ve explained it’s due to adding social distancing so I’d assume not. (I assume it is dynamic but not as dynamic as nimax maybe?)

Miraculously, there were still a good handful of tickets left for opening night when I belatedly logged on at 10.45. I managed to get a pair of seats in Row C Dress Circle. I presumed this would be an immediate sell out! I had a look (after getting mine moved to the first Saturday) and was surprised at the availability. I was panicking that if I didn’t get mine moved early I wouldn’t get in for ages!

Has anybody heard from the box office yet? (Particularly anybody with tickets for the previous first night...) Not yet, it’s bugging me as it looks like reopening is midweek, which is fine but more planning than a Saturday!

I looked online for the 21st June and it appears to be almost “ Sold Out “. But every day after that barely a seat taken. So who knows what will happen The Monday’s all look like that so I feel they will drop Mondays initially at least.

I heard it was going into the Dominion. I’m there. Can they get the war of the worlds set back in for it as there will be room for that plus the tour stage

I had booked for the 21st June and emailed them this morning. They just moved me to the same seat as I had before on the 24th September, so that is great news. This is the only non-socially distanced show I have booked for (apart from Rent at the Hope Mill). I am happy to wait until things are announced for definite but I was at the last show of &Juliet pre-lockdown, so I definitely wanna be there for their first one back. I was at the 2nd to last so am aiming to be at the second Got my new confirmation today, I was at the second to last pre-covid and (if all goes to plan) will be at the second post covid performance!
