Depends what you want to pay. Premium seats on the stage, row H 36 to 40 / 76 to 72 are best in the house by a mile. I've just booked myself for this season, and they've put the prices up, plus fewer top non-premium price Band A seats. At band A, I always take H80. Legroom isn't great over 5ft 7 depending how they secure the stage, and the stage is above head height, but it's worth it to be so involved in the show. Basically, seats in that H to P 30 to 80 regular stalls side block area are some of the best, as they are close to the stage and get the full effect. Closer to the lowest and highest numbers you can - and the restricted views just mean rails in the way, not great pillars. On stage, legroom is dodgy in the back row, and the edges miss action, but they are next pick. Final stalls pick is seats facing the stage - J to T centre block. They're OK mostly but J is a bench and it's just a little far back even with the runway beside you. Upstairs is as usual, the dress slips are more fun as they are closer to the action but won't see the whole thing if you are close to the boxes end. Go closer to the main circle seats. Main dress is same as always, decent value and bargain pillars. Upper circle gets involved in the fun, so worth a look. We were only able to get Stalls N14-17. How unhappy will we be there? (If the answer is 'very,' I'll keep a lookout for other tickets becoming available...) |

"If you didn't pay the top premium price, you'll feel pretty relaxed."
The tickets were £65 apiece, which - as I'm sure you get tired of hearing from New Yorkers - is way less than Broadway tickets would be, so no complaints there.

Relatively painless booking, got Row Q pillar seats for Very Expensive Poison and Endgame
On pricing - Q35 is £20 restricted view, Q34 is now £65. Which seems to contradict some posts above. Q3 is still £20.
The seats in Row R behind Q34 and 35 are also £65

Painless for me too, Q35 for Endgame and Local Hero. Don't fancy paying more than £20 for either of those!

I’ve booked Dress Circle X25 to 27 for Endgame. Felt that £30 was quite steep given the response I’ve heard about these slip seats. Going with my mum and aunt who aren’t used to compromising their views for price so hope it’s not too bad. A big Alan Cumming fan so looking forward to it regardless.

A 4 week run, could be fun getting a ticket.
The cynic in me could see this as a membership drive as it would be the only confident way of getting a reasonable ticket.

Do you think there is any chance of getting tickets for Lungs if you’re not a member and can take advantage of advance booking?

In my calendar I have the Young Vic season going on general sale at exactly the same day/time .. Same, but that's fine, none of the Young Vic stuff is opening until next year so it'll probably be much quicker to get through the Young Vic queue than the Old Vic queue. Though if you do get through them both simultaneously, I would suggest that Lungs should take priority 'cos I feel like tickets could be a little scarcer. It's a big theatre, I'm sure everyone who wants to book on that first day will get something, but even so. |

I've clearly written young vic date don't wrong then as I had it as the day after, thanks for clarifying |

Goodness, well that's going to be bedlam. At least it will be over quickly (queued an hour and a half for All My Sons).

Thinking this will probably a no for me, short run, limited dates I could go, chances of getting a cheap ticket, will try but probably will rely on the board to tell me what I'm missing.

I saw someone on Insta bragging that they’d purchased Artistic Director membership (which costs £12k a year) just to be assured press night tix to send End Game. 😮

I have a single ticket available to Endgame on Mon 27 January - I am now unable to attend. It's a PWC £10 ticket on the side of the dress circle, so there is no charge - I'll just send the pdf ticket on to you. Please message me if you would like it.
