Can anyone say whether standing at the back of the Royal Circle is any good? I stood on the Balcony for Betrayal and Royal Circle for Prima Facie and both were fine. Checking, each was £15 + fees is a bit much for a standing ticket but for both of those it was the only way I could see it. I'd do it again if I had to. Thank you - and no restriction with the view? The standing tickets are numbered on the booking site, so do you stand on a 'numbered spot' or is it first come, first served? (Just conscious there's the pillars to contend with up there!) |

I find there is such a lack of transparency with booking ATG's West End shows. Sold Out but actually, not really, prices going up every 5 minutes etc. It's exhausting! It's show business with the emphasis on the latter. |

Did the standing for A Little Life - I don't remember the numbered spot, I think it's like the Donmar where you just pick a spot on arrival.
Won't be buying a standing until we know how long it is though!

Haha - that thought also crossed my mind Being Alive. And thanks for explaining about the 'spot' - guess it's get there early then (which unfortunately means more standing time!).
ATG have now added additional tickets across Nov and Dec too - right through to end of the run. Although of course some are at prices that'd feed me for a month :-(

(Just conscious there's the pillars to contend with up there!) - absolutely no issue with the view. It was excellent. Betrayal, there were some captions projected fairly high which from what I can recall I had to guess slightly. It was a timeline and in context I could make them out but I couldn't read them fully - if that makes sense? As to a numbered spot, I honestly don't recall. I had booked a central spot each time and I arrived early and made sure I was standing in my chosen spot. I don't know if people around also took their spots or just went first come first served  |

I'm not sure I'm up to standing for that long these days. Nice to see more tickets being released but the whole sales tactics are becoming very cynical. Does anyone know what the closest row to the stage is that has been released so far?

Bravo to you for that It was £15 and I wasn't sure I'd manage the whole thing as it's intense so I went for it....it's a slog but worth it for the price |

Just caved in and bought a standing ticket as I really don't want to miss this. Both those and the ridiculously-priced stalls seats are selling (a couple of dates are showing as sold out again now) so it feels like the only way I'm going to see this without breaking the bank. Will carry on keeping an eye out for any affordable seats popping up though!

Hi all, just to let you know I still have a ticket available on the noticeboard for the Lyonesse matinee on Saturday 25th November – sadly, rail replacements mean I just can’t make it anymore.
Listed for £45 but I am open to offers. Appreciate I’m a new poster (am a long term lurker and actually found out about this play on here) - happy to provide proof of purchase etc. if anyone is interested.
