Is Coke/Pepsi still £1.50 at the Prince of Wales? That's the cheapest I've seen in a theatre in ages. (yes, I'm a gin&tonic guy, but sometimes I drink Coke)
They charged me 4.50€ for a Coke last Sunday in Barcelona when I saw Flashdance, which is outrageous.

If it is that price and I don’t know, it is normally for a 275ml bottle, which is a complete waste of time. One gulp and it is gone! |

Oh yeah, now that I think about it, it was the smaller bottle...

At 9 to 5 on Friday night, they had posters in the toilets advertising three themed cocktails based on the three leading ladies, each one containing prosecco and a single shot of a different spirit. No mention of prices either on the posters or at the bar. I waited until the queue had gone down and asked - £12! Needless to say, I did not indulge.

Thinking about it, the only time I drink is in a theatre... an expensive habit.

Tip for those visiting the Bristol Hippodrome - if you are quick, you have enough time to get drinks in and finish them at the very cheap pub next door (the Drawbridge), and still be back in before the interval-bell.

That I am surprised it doesn’t happen more often, unscrupulous people just help themselves to a couple of proseccos.

Is it not the case that we theatre-goers are just too inherently polite and civilised to quaff someone else’s drinkie’s at the interval.
To get decent seats for CFA we did the ATG variety bundle and as I am a non-drinker with my medication,my wife was left with two huge bottles of continental beer and some wine thrown in for good measure.No wonder she enjoyed the show! I recommend the ice creams and the kettle chips!
Non-regular theatre-goers probably splash out on drinks in the theatre as part of the ‘treat’ of a night out at a show.

I've just this minute renewed my card and there's no discount for drinks available any more; just no fees, priority booking etc. The Classic is £35 if paid by DD or £45 otherwise. The Plus offers ticket protection and access to their own "forum" and is £59 by DD (or £69). As I'm not bothered about the Plus extras I've gone for the basic. I thought LWT theatres were the worst for drinks prices? Forum? Forum? What forum? 😡 ATG call it "The Stage Gets Social". Not sure if it's fully set up but as I didn't pay to access it, I can't tell. |
