Your position in the queue doesn't change - but the queue gets shorter (albeit very gradually) - so your number won't change however the waiting time will. Thanks, it does now show time remaining (18 minutes). Shall see how accurate that is.

Do not despair if you're still queueing. After 2.5 hours I got through and found almost all of the sides of dress circle and slips available on my chosen date. As I suspected yesterday, they weren't available on agency presales.

As I suspected yesterday, they weren't available on agency presales. Got through eventually. Very little left for the first few nights, but good availability later in the run. I only picked up one of the cheap seats in the end.

Took me 2 and a half hours to get through, but still managed to get one of the end of row q seats for the date I wanted. There didn’t seem to be much left in the stalls on the dates I looked at, although I could only book early in the run.

I was tempted to go for Todaytix but was wanting to retain some hope of exchanging the tickets if I hit problems with the date. Though in reality it will probably sell out anyway!

Took 4 hours to get in but there are LOADS of tickets left - for pretty much every date. So I wonder if it's more the system being completely rubbish as opposed to demand being THAT high. Managed to get 4 tickets at reasonable prices VERY easily. The system is quite glitchy though and attempts to throw the user out constantly but you can tap back a few times and it should still be holding stuff in the basket

That is reassuring as my countdown timed out when I was in a meeting and I had to start again. Apparently I'll be allowed to book in 15 minutes...

Got in after 3 hours, sat I wanted was there on first date went in so quickly brought though sounds like they'd have been options if I'd looked round. Had to do on phone which was bit challenging, pure fluke I was in different office with signal.

Got in at 2:47pm and noticed all the premium tickets had gone. Was willing to fork out 125 for a seat in row e/f but ended up with a seat in centre row N for 90. Was not expecting a 2.75hr wait

Are they only doing E-Tickets for this? That is certainly the only option they gave me. Call me old fashioned, but I like a physical ticket.
Very excited to have booked though!

Was not expecting a 2.75hr wait Were you looking for a particular date? Because after I got in after 4 hours I think I must have checked 90% of the dates and they all had premium tickets available.

I couldn't face queuing yesterday, so decided to wait until today. Straight in, and booked the seat I wanted, for the performance I wanted. Bish-bash-bosh!
Still a terrible experience trying to book on a 4x2 smartphone, and as an e-ticket is the only option, what's the point of having a drop-down box with one choice? There's even the option to change on the next screen...for another e-ticket. 😕

I haven't had a physical ticket from The Old Vic in a while. It's a shame, nothing to go in my collection afterwards

I don't have a smartphone or printer, just an aging wifi-only ipad, so not keen on the push for e-tickets. But I know from seeing Present Laughter and Lungs there that they do still print them off if you take your order number to the box office.

I’m collecting my tickets at the box office after buying on Today Tix, so i’m hoping that guarantees an actual ticket.

Just ask the box office. When booking through the Old Vic website you're forced into an e-ticket. You can phone them in advance and ask them to print you a ticket for collection. Or you can turn up and get them to print you a ticket on the day. If you book a ticket through someone that isn't the Old Vic, you will have a ticket for collection as usual. Hope that clears the system up for everybody.

I was looking to change the date I'm going to this, but it looks like the entire run is now completely sold out (unless the OV website is playing up). Will need to take my chances with the PwC previews...

Are there any limits on how many PWC tickets you can purchase? Two per customer.
