I've opened another browser so hopefully I'll hit the site just after 12...but there's only one date I can do and it's probably the on everyone else wants too - sat eve.

Same, lost my place again and now am back to 909... According to the thing I'll get through at 12:14... I was going to go for Sat Eve, too, because that'd be the most suitable day for me (have to go down from Scotland, would love to see some matinees if I'm down already and I'd only have to ask my boss to give me one shift off...)

Not sure how, but I got in the queue 10 minutes ago and have just bought two restricted view £15 seats for Saturday 23rd at 17.30 - I have to wonder - are people really going to pay £80 to see this?

And meanwhile it's telling me I know have to wait until 12.30... £80 is pushing it. However, if there's only those tickets left, I don't know what I'd do. |

I'm not willing to go over £20. I already saw it, after all. I'm pretty annoyed about having been bumped to the back of the queue after getting my seat in my basket, so only time will tell if I'm willing to even go up to £20 by the time I get through the queue again.

£15 stalls booked for Friday 29, £60 tickets for a 30 minute play is insanity.

When I got through at 11.50, raher than going back to calendar, which lost me my place in the queue, I kept toggling up and down the select alternative dates white window which gave me the not on sale message until 12.01, when it let me through. I've got row H which seems to be front row (maybe they'll add more rows?) - they're £40, row behind £60, then £80.

I think I draw the line at £40, after all it is only 30 minutes. Also, the trip down will cost a ton and I want to see two other plays as well.

That's what I tried to do, too, but it kicked me out anyway. 8 minutes to go in the queue apparently. |

Whinging on Twitter works! Got a call from the box office who were able to confirm my seat was still sitting there waiting sadly for me to buy it, and they were able to take payment over the phone. Hope everyone else is as successful as they hoped to be today!

Finally got through and paid £40 for a ticket in row N. First I thought I was going to go for the second row from the front, thinking it said £15. Luckily, I noticed it was actually £150 before checkout.  |

I saw you guys talking about joining the queue at about 11:40, so decided to join too. Ended up getting through a couple of minutes after noon and got a £15 stalls seat. Doesn't seem like a very fair system if you can join the queue at any time before the release time and just hope you get through after the time they are actually released? I also hate that the seating plans aren't colour coded, so trying to find out how much each seat costs on a phone takes forever as you have to tap on each seat then remove it from your basket until finding a suitable one. I've never heard of this play before but the enthusiasm from all of you has made me intrigued!

I grabbed a £15 seat in the dress circle - I will just have to cope with a rail in my eyeline. I couldn't find the £15 seats in the stalls - I guess they were all gone by the time I got through on my date.
Like everyone else, I'm not willing to pay any more than that for a 30 minute piece.

There were a few on the sides of the stalls, I am in row Q behind a pillar with my £15 seat 😀 I couldn't justify spending any more than that for 30 minutes. |

Ooh, sounds like we've got the same (or at least equivalent) seats! If you're going before closing weekend, you should definitely report back so I know what to expect.  |

I've just looked back and the queue is now in the thousands. Looks like it might be a thrust stage so circle views could be good.

Bizarrely, I logged in around 11am and it let me buy tickets for this. I’m now thinking I either have a membership I know nothing about, or there was some sort of weird glitch on their website...

That was fairly painless! Got a couple of £15 tickets for the 5.30 performance prior to heading along the road later to the Young Vic for Fun Home - all very convenient!

No wait at all at 3.30pm. There is precisely one performance when I'll be in London anyway and available to see it, and there was a £15 dress circle (slightly) restricted view seat available, so I'm going.
(For a show as short as this, £15 is the top of what I'm prepared to pay.)

Those dress circle seats in the Old Vic with a rail in view are an absolute bargain.

30th June/5:30. £20 for a 30-35 minute monologue. At least the bus stops outside.

Agree 100%. I was just looking to see if there are any left. Of course there aren't. I'm going to wait for a bit... |
