Seems unfair to those that suffered the £36 handling fee on those

I did end getting through the ATG link - thanks to the person who posted that - I paid the stupid fees but I am STILL in the DMT queue that I have been in since 2pm so glad I did as I didn't want to risk not getting anything.... disproportionately keen to see this as wasnt able to get tickets before....

These ticket prices are bonkers, why yet again are there no cheaper ticket options for older people who may not have wads of cash? Having been in the queue for ages, I was priced out of this by the time I got through.

Lunch break was hectic earlier today. I had the ticket reserved in my cart for the final performance, but ultimately decided to pass on this. I think seeing it once is enough for me. Hope I don't regret this.

£200 and £150 for stalls?! I don’t bloody think so 😂
If it were a musical, perhaps, but most plays bore me to death, so I will be skipping this.

Hope I don't regret this. Likewise. So glad to have got a great seat (without paying through the nose!) and have seen it at the Phoenix last year. Really enjoyed it but don’t need to see the same production again. Impressed at the marketing though. Announcing and putting this on sale in the midst of the media blitz for Gladiator II is a good move. |

i was going to join queue this morning, completely forgot (d'oh!) - though sounds like maybe I avoided a tech hellscape?
does anyone know if there are any youth tickets left? (i fear a-level eng lit students will be sweeping them up!)
edit: actually i don't even know how to book them. can't see anything on internet? am i being blind? didn't get sent anything from almeida like they normally do...

The dates I looked at had a decent number but all in the balcony which would just be too high up for me. |

I managed to get a ticket although the website took so long to confirm that the confirmation email came before it.

The general sale is going to be awful, I’d be surprised if anyone’s able to buy a single ticket with the shape the site is in.

And there's no right to recourse on this, do you know? I've lost the ticket? If I was you I’d call DMT customer service. I’ve had a payment issue like this before and I recall their system actually holds those tickets against your account for a period of time (I’m thinking 24 hours but can’t remember for sure). So would recommend you ring them asap and hopefully you’ll be able to pay for them over the phone. I called them and they confirmed it had gone through. So thank you! |

Reading this thread it looks like I was really lucky. I tried DMT around 12.30 this afternoon, got straight in without queuing and got a single seat near the front on the date I wanted.

With my DMT+ access, I still see a couple of front stalls seats for 93 pounds for almost every performance. They must be DMT exclusive seats as my presale link with ATG does not show them.
Its always D17-D18, they probably might have hold them and released them later.
Edit: so you could basically get yourself DMT+, buy one or two tickets, and still be cheaper off than buying it from ATG. This is another point for ATG being the most scummy theatre company on the West End/Broadway.

Not seeing any new tickets being added for LoveTheatre’s sale. Unless all of these new tickets are DMT exclusive.

There’s a lot of people in the DMT queue, not so much the LoveTheatre.

I just clicked on the same link I received yesterday and found a stalls seat in row D for a slightly more reasonable price than what I saw yesterday so decided to go ahead and book (even though I didn’t want to out of spite because of the crappy DMT website and service). |

Beats my 3000 people in front of me. I guess glad I suffered the handling fees and got tickets yesterday.
