Les Miserables - UK & Ireland Tour

Originally there were plans to bring it to Cologne but everything has gone quiet on that front. The cast doesn’t think it’s going to happen.

Had to bump this lol - makes me anxious not to have at least one of the Les Mis threads immediately visible when I log on ;-)

Just had an e-mail from ATG re my tickets for Bristol Hippodrome next weekend. It said they are 'working with producers to re-schedule and will automatically transfer tickets to new dates." Hope this is right!

I am also hoping Phantom Manchester may get re-scheduled.

For Les Mis I also have tickets for Manchester (well, Salford) Lowry and Brum. Do hope things will be up and running by then....

Hmmm. I confess I did wonder....

Shame but not unexpected!

Does anyone have any experience of how tickets are re-allocated when things are postponed? I mean when this happens in peacetime.

Do they generally move you to the same day of the week and the same seat?
I guess they would do all this before tickets go onto general sale again otherwise will be a shambles. 

I had two tickets but very much have a fave seat at the Lowry (aisle of centre block on the row where the two aisles start  - think G or J ish; same as my fave seat at Manchesterford Opera House).

I had some tickets reallocated by the Lowry last week for Fascinating Aida which has been rescheduled for October. They tried their best to put me in seats as close to the original allocation I had.

Yes, I noticed earlier that ATG are still selling tickets for Glasgow, despite someone mentioning on another thread that ATG have cancelled performances at all venues until 28th June. 🤷‍♂️

Yep, haha. It certainly lets you go as far as choosing your seat, but I didn't proceed any further.

Given a theatre isn't going to have more than 15% of its seats with social distancing , They can't offer the same seats when they won't have the same seats available. And no one has any solution to what to do about small toilets in cellars and lofts, with no air , or how to get people in or out without crowds forming, And how do you cope with the normal winter coughs and sneezes - you can't throw people out with a cough,or let them rebook for free, or expect people to sit next to someone with one.

Basically, there's not going to be any theatre till either infection numbers per week fall dramatically lower, or the vaccine turns up Thats going be next year if we are lucky. And if you want to fill the theatres in London, you probably need to reduce prices, as those tourists won't be back for years .

Must we have this same conversation on every thread? Some valid comments, but for theatre in general and not specifically the Les Mis UK tour. I think you can find multiple threads in the general section already discussing this same thing in great detail.

The question asked in the thread was why they are not just rolling over seats to a new date . the answer i suspect is exactly what i said. You can't roll over seats when you don't know  when you might put the show on - you can  only assume that a long way out you might be able to use most seats. In the short to medium term you don't know how many seats you will have ,if any ,or  how to share them between more people with existing tickets. And as the last  thing you want to do is to  have to keep on sending out new tickets as things change , and you don't want to tell most of the audience hard luck yet  , and you don't want the hastle,  or expense of refunding everything, what you do is do as little as possible  before you know whats happening, and can't put action off any longer.Les Mis has a bigger problem than most. Multiple big theatres all with their own unique  likely limitations, and a long tour, all mean there's much more uncertainty about what can happen or when. 

Afternoon Guys.

Just wondered if anyone that had tickets for the Lowry run had actually had vouchers issued yet?
Am still waiting...
