So, as a non-member, will there be any seats left tomorrow which aren't £60?!

The day after would be nice. I don't live in London and so can't just pop down to the Almeida for any old performance.

Not that I think I have a snowflake's chance in hell of actually getting through on the website tomorrow, but IF I do... Is it standard seating configuration for RIII? ie like the Almeida Greeks?

The day after would be nice. I don't live in London and so can't just pop down to the Almeida for any old performance. As of now, 18/6, both shows are completely sold out when I log in as member. They could be tweaking availability prior to opening the public at 10am. Better availability (although not much) towards the end of the run. |

Got a £10 ticket fairly easily. Had all the dates for which I could go on open and then just refreshed before 10. Up popped a load of seats so thanks for the info that they were holding back seats.

Giving it 15 more mins then giving up. Had browsers open pre-10am, they all crashed. Keep getting through to the RIII page but button keeps saying 'priority booking'. Clicking the button anyway. Calendar not working (changes month but days don't alter to match). Click 'all availability'. Get kicked out. Repeat ad infinitum. Sigh.

Ha, I have the same problem, can't get past the priority booking button.
meso77 - can you share the links to the booking pages you had open initially, and I might be able to work it out from there? Thanks

I got it to say 'book now' by going via the 2016/17 option and clikcing the RIII text link. But can';t get any further. Clicking 'show all dates' just returns the same damn RIII page with 'book now' on it. Grr

What I did was have the seating plans open on each date I could go from about 9.30am. Then waited and refreshed at 10, this seemed to be the simplest way to jump the queue, so to speak. It relied on knowing that extra seats would be available as they were all showing sold out at before 10.

Keep hitting the "buy now" button and you will get through... There seems to be NO queue, just luck. |

Got a £10 ticket for 1 Aug just by constantly refreshing the page from 9.30. Good luck to everyone still trying!

Heavens. That was a faff. Vanessa Redgrave got through 'Much Ado About Nothing' in less time. Until it came to taking my money of course. That part of the process shot through like Usain Bolt. All that effort to deal with the worst FOH team in London. Damn you Almeida! I need a Gin.  |

Remember, EVERYONE is having trouble getting through, there's a reasonable chance that there'll still be some availability later in the day.
And I will not hear ONE WORD against the Almeida FOH staff, at least while The Handsomest Usher In All The Land is resident.

Definitely keep trying. I managed to get 10 pounds tickets for all three productions in the dates I wanted.

Truly soul destroying experience and no end in sight as yet, at least with a queue system you can manage your time more productively rather than hitting a buy now button for 2 hours
