Groundhog Day the Musical - Old Vic

Booked one of the £16 'slim pillar in view' seats at the back of the stalls. Will I see anything?

isn't the point of this forum to create a space for theatre geeks to convene and if we can reward each other by sharing something like a priority booking code, why not? lest we buy into the elitist class system of the Old Vic, wealthiest first.

I didn't receive one either, despite signing up this week...

I didn't specifically sign up for any newsletter, but when I booked my ticket for The Lorax last year, I must have overseen to untick the "subscribe to newsletter" box, so that's why I must've ended on this list.

I didn't even expect to get access to this prebooking and would've been perfectly fine with waiting until general booking opens. But if I'm invited to use this, I might as well do so, as I had my London trip in August sorted out anyway.

And just for the record: There's still plenty of availability for the first and the last two shows (haven't checked any other), so you'll still be fine when general booking opens.

Yeah but doesn't it feel good to share a little bit of love amongst your likeminded friends? Maybe I'm too lefty but I think if you have taken the gumption to be registered on this forum, or even find this forum then you're enough of a theatre fan to warrant the early booking code regardless of what they producers intentions were.

Sometimes with these mass mailings they stagger the emails going out so as to not overload servers - my email didn't actually turn up until 12:47pm and booking opened at 12. Some email providers can also throw wobblies about mass emails and delay them, some don't end up delivering them at all or do so sporadically. Sometimes your email account has learnt that you always delete the emails from that address and assumes it's spam.

Bottom line is that email can be really temperamental!

Not guilty on any count. I don't like unfairness, that's all. I hope the show is good, and wish it every success. I have my two (front stalls) tickets and am looking forward to it.

Anybody heard who is playing the Andi McDowell role- I don't know anyone who knows!

Damn, only just seen all this about the emails. Huge Minchin fan and definitely signed up for the list and still no email

Really excited to see who else they cast and general just excited for this show!

I got a ticket to the first preview. Thank you to EVERYONE who emailed me a code. So nice of you all to share.

Long time lurker here, occasional poster on the old forum. Just seen this thread and agree with many that it's unfair to have removed the pre-sale code from here. I'm on the Old Vic's mailing list and didn't receive the code. It's the theatre's prerogative to have members only booking, but if you're then going to send out a promo code indiscriminately to only certain members of your mailing list, why shouldn't theatre fans share it on a niche message board? I too would be hugely grateful of someone could message me the code.
