Wow, punchy! I picked up a couple of table seats for Friday 19th Nov (preview?), row D for £90 a piece.

Booked cabaret table seats at 155 each and couldn’t avoid the booking fee. It also wouldn’t accept my credit voucher which was really annoying.
It was quite fiddly and kept telling me I had to select two, which I wanted but then unselecting the first seat.

I think to avoid the booking fee, you need to specifically choose the atg member ticket option when adding the ticket to your basket.
I found it really annoying that all of the front stalls are in pairs only, and most only give a meal deal option. There were some seats where you could buy ticket only, but certainly not all - making most front row tables £275 per ticket (for a Friday evening in December)!

Do we think we have any possibility of refunds on the booking fee? I had no sense of how to avoid it...

Thanks Dr Tom for posting the prices. I think I'll miss this one but keep an eye out for discounts. |

I tried to select the member option but it disappeared as I struggled to select two seats. It was there then gone. |

Bizarrely, there are now a few dates with single seats available in the Stalls, which weren't there earlier. I don't know if this is staff listening to complaints (or reading the forum) and adjusting things, or if other people have found a way to book the other single seat.
The booking fee "feature" is strange. Some days/seats have the ATG option available, which removes it. Others don't.
If anyone does ask for a booking fee refund, please let us know how you get on.

Ouch - those prices. I've gone for 3xStalls @90 per head, no food or drink. For the £375 saving we can go to Barrafina or Rules where the food will probably be nicer.
Well done to those who have opted for the full experience though - I hope it is a wonderful occasion!

The new dress circle rows h to l presumably are built on the former stage side. Seem to have better seat availability anyone risking them?
All seat data on the previous playhouse layout shows a low stall rake, cramped seating and from the circles views with rails. Do people think they will have sorted some of this with the new layout?

My seats are stalls row E and instructions say "enter basement level - stage door". Suggests the stage will be lower than usual. |

FINAL... I was booked and done in the 23 minutes they predicted just the wait would be. All the closest seats are at tables for 2. The first row of seats behind the tables were only available in a bundle (at least for the date I was looking at in January), so I had to book the next row behind for a solo ticket.
UPDATED... it's going very quickly.
Number of users in queue ahead of you: 191
