So regarding the 10th Anniversary tickets.
I have had mine for a while now due to the little error in releasing tickets before they actually went on sale. I went to the box office to get it changed to the Row B dresscircle seat I was assigned.
Now I see that the 10th Anniversary tickets are all nice and fancy, while Im now with the normal style ticket...that doesnt bother me, but they arent going to to try and stop me entering or anything because of the different style of ticket are they??
Also to anyone kind enough, what does the sheet of paper that came with your tickets say?

Firstly, the tickets for the 10th Anniversary are so nice, with the green and the clocks etc, really pretty, makes it feel even more special! I shouldn't think there would be an issue. As it is the info on the tickets that should be checked, not the paper it is on! So I wouldn't worry lovely!  |

Hey JJ92, I also booked due to the glitch and after all the hassle with getting moved, getting told off for mentioning it online etc, I had a voicemail from the Apollo Victoria last week saying to dispose of the 10th ticket I had, as I'd be getting a replacement "official" one like everyone else, and then I got my new shiny elegant ticket today, so I assume you have one on the way too. |

They should have the ticket stock to do it |

If it is only for this one show that these tickets are being used for, they will be limited. But even then, I'd assume they would of printed enough for every audience member plus a few spares so you should be able to get one. |

All recordings will be destroyed (sounds like they will be strict on this on the night) and fans have to use a different entrance than everyone (I. e. The invited guests) in the stalls! |

I guess the Lobby will be split in two? And one side of the building will be Guests, one side will be regular audience members?

Is TodayTix starting a Wicked lottery? On the app you can set an alert to be notified when it starts

If you click on it says its a lottery for the 10th anniversary shows...tickets for £60.
Judging by the phrasing "once in a lifetime tickets" I have feeling this id the reason why theres no dayseats.

Technically it is once in a lifetime as the tenth anniversary will only come around once. Unless you have a time machine!

Per the discussion a couple of weeks ago, pleased but surprised to report that Wicked stagedoor tonight was extremely quiet, fewer than a dozen people. I was expecting hordes, especially as there were barriers up, but no. Maybe the fans are conserving their energy for the 10th anniversary!
Seeing the show again, 8 years after I last saw it at the Apollo Vic (though I did see the tour once in 2012), was kind of odd. It was rather like when you meet up with an old schoolfriend years later and it's nice to see them again but not the same. I thought the cast were very good but I just couldn't get emotionally involved like I used to. I found my mind wandering back to "my" casts at times.
A few things on individual performers. I thought Rachel Tucker was very good, I liked her take on the role and the majority of her acting choices. I suspect she wasn't quite at her best vocally as the endings of INTG & DG seemed slightly off but as she was off sick last week that's not surprising.
I really liked Suzie Mather's Glinda. She managed to sucessfully tread a fine line between being funny & ditzy while not being annoying. She did a number of lines differently to how I'd seen them done before, which was refreshing (admittedly I'm way out of touch with recent Glindas). I would have liked a little more soprano tone on a few high notes but again she was off sick last week. Nice to hear a Glinda who can take the low option in INTGR & in fact I thought her final low note was better than Rachel's had been in INTG. After various comments on here about what accents both actresses would use I was glad to hear they were both doing RP & all the "a" sounds were correct. I really don't like hearing Wicked sung by British casts with American "a"s. Kerry Ellis was a particularly bad offender in this.
I'd seen Oliver Saville on for Raoul in the Phantom cast before last so I was looking forward to seeing him as Fiyero & though he did a very good job. I considerably preferred him to the last Fiyero I saw on the tour. Some very good line deliveries. He was good at making things sound real rather than recited by rote. For someone so tall he's a good dancer (memories of a certain Mr O. Tompsett's DTL ;-) ).
There have been a lot of comments about Katie Rowley Jones looked bored but I didn't think she did tonight. I thought she was as good as what I can remember of her Nessa 9 years ago & seemed quite emotional in WWOTE.
I'm afraid the principal I was least keen on was Idriss Karbo as Boq. It's not his fault but I just found his voice too high-pitched and almost girly-sounding at times.
It was lovely seeing my favourite Dillamond, Martin Ball, back in the role. It was his return to Wicked that got me back to the show, in what is possibly the only incidence of someone going to see Wicked for the Dillamond!
While I certainly am not going to rack up another 60-odd Wicked visits I probably will be back to see this cast again as I want to see Martin on for the Wizard and would also be interested in seeing Alice Fearn & Carina Gillespie on. I hope the Wicked producers won't follow Cameron Mackintosh & ban understudies from giving out dates!

and fans have to use a different entrance than everyone (I. e. The invited guests) in the stalls! Ok this I can't deal with. It's basically like saying "You've kept us afloat for 10 years but we don't want you pestering our 'special' guests for a selfie on the night to celebrate your loyalty.... we're going to shove you up top and give you a separate entrance." Nope nope nope. Not playing this game. I've booked for a midweek matinee in October and also booked for Willemijns first week back. Hoping to catch Alice in October on the off chance but will be happy to see Rachel again. |

Have Rachel and Suzie both been on for the Saturday matinees so far? I'm going on Saturday afternoon and hoping they will both be on.

The separation of fans and "guests" makes me think of Mugatu brain washing Zoolander
