Duly noted, I'll make sure every time I go to the theatre I sit in total silence, wearing only black, not making eye contact and not breathing just in case someone with an incredibly rare and specific condition may or may not be nearby. None of your posts have made any sense since your arguments are continually contradicting each other, which is worrying considering you are a lecturer. Reported for personal attack. You could say... I did not throw away my shot.

Edit: Accessible Seats may also be more expensive than other seats in the auditorium. People shouldn’t be penalised either. Er, no, they shouldn't be. If you book via an access line, and are registered as having an "access" issue, then you are normally sold the seats at the lowest possible price e.g. an accessible stalls seat for the same as the cheapest upper circle ticket. Anything less would be against the DDA anyway. If you do have a problem with prices for a registered person, take it up with the management immediately, as they will do their best to help every time. Thank you. We try to bring people to seats where they will have a good view of the performance. NT and YV are great West End generally is different. I’d prefer if people didn’t personally attack me or my work. This toxic behaviour is exactly what I am commenting on.

I’m seeing the show again on Saturday so can we not lock the thread again before then? Thanks.

Seeing the show tomorrow for the 3rd time but 1st time with new cast. Any idea if anyone is off at the minute? I believe Waylon Jacobs is covering Lafayette/Jefferson all week.

That is interesting. They should do it on all levels to be honest. It might look pretty but it's an uncomfortable theatre wherever you sit I think! Love that they call the conditions "challenging" lol.

I’m sure the row removed will be a £37.50 one, more than made up for with the extra top price one added in the stalls (has that gone in yet?) I don’t begrudge him though, still a lot cheaper than Hamilton in the US!!

Are they only releasing tickets for this month by month now then? It makes it incredibly difficult to plan ahead.

if I’m honest I can’t see one row making a massive difference once it’s all evened out. They’d be better off taking out two to create a significant difference.

I wonder if the grand circle will be closed off for any performances to allow them to undertake the work.

I'm sure this has been asked many times already, but with 460 pages to search through, please forgive me for just asking again! 😁
I've still not seen Hamilton, so going to try and get tickets on Monday for July. I have already looked at Theatremonkey's page, so know the stage for this is high and legroom in the auditorium is an issue. My preferred choice is always fronts stalls, and being over 6ft, I'm thinking row A would be best. But having not seen the show before, is it better to sit slightly further back for this - and pay the extra ££ - to get a better overall view?.

Thank you very much - I did wonder if I'd miss part of the spectacle by sitting so close. And looking at your photo, the stage does look high for row A.

Last two seats of the front rows are ‘only’ £80 instead of £100 and only miss small amounts of business on the side balconies on stage. I’ve sat in C and L and both were fine; C was better for being closer. People seem to love the front upper circle for this where there are a few bargains to be had with rails in view etc for £40 I think. Plus theres always the lottery. TBH I wasn’t that bothered before I’d seen it but it is every bit as good as has been awarded, and I’m drawn back every few months.

TBH I wasn’t that bothered before I’d seen it but it is every bit as good as has been awarded, and I’m drawn back every few months. That's great, thanks. Yeah, for some reason I've not been in a rush to see this - I think the hype put me off, so was happy to wait, but now is as good a time as any. I've done the lottery every time I've been in London, but with no success, so I'd rather just book tickets this time when they go on sale on Monday.
So are the £80 seats at the ends of the rows in the front stalls better view/value for money than the £75 row A stalls seats?
(I don't mind paying £100 for centre C or D, if they are significantly better than row A and worth the extra £25.)

If money is no object I’d go further back and central. I doubt that they’ll be £100 next booking period though.

Just thinking about it, I would never pay £100 for any other show - but it almost feels like a bargain when you consider the premium tickets and New York prices. But no, I think I'll set my max at £80 and see what's what on Monday.

I'd also consider the £57.50 side boxes as you are as close to the stage as row A but have unlimited legroom. Only issues are that you do miss a third of the stage and you need to buy both seats, though. Would note A you can't put your feet underneath seats in front if you are that tall, which may or may not be a problem for you. I'd go close anyway, to see faces. Great, thanks. Yes, my brother is going to come and see it too - while he enjoys the occasional trip to the theatre, I'm not sure he's fully prepared for the prices of this, so the side box is a good option. Especially as he too is over 6ft.

Just for info, a friend and I sat in the Grand Circle slips (A1-2) a few weeks ago and the view for £20 was incredible (if you leaned). Bench seats with plenty of space and legroom wasn’t as crushingly bad as I had expected (I’m over 6ft, think budget airline). Yes, you have to lean forward to see pretty much any of the stage (you would only see the opposite corner if you sat back) but I’ll take that for the price. I think we only missed a few scenes on the right balcony and a few involving George Washington at his desk.
I’d highly recommend for £20 if you don’t mind the lean (and for the record, before anyone posts in the Bad Behaviour thread about me, I did check with the people sitting next to me if they minded leaning and they said they were planning on doing the exact same thing). If they go any higher than that at the next on sale, I’d maybe hold back.
To summarise, Grand Circle slips are a bargain for £20. Wouldn’t go for them if they’re any higher than that.

Being 6ft you will not miss anything being on the front row. The are no scenes like in Les Mis when you may be wondering what is happening on the floor.

It really is, I get they want to maintain hype (presuming that’s why they’re doing this?) but I’d have thought they would making the more casual theatre goers lose interest when they have to keep putting dates in the diary to try and get tickets. Trips to the West End are something that people often need to save up for and plan in advance and this system just doesn’t work for that.

Of course, at the end no the day, they want to make money so convenience for the ticket buyers no doubt goes further down the list of priorities...

I'm flying to the UK in October and I'm waiting to book other shows and plan other things since I don't know which day I'm seeing this!
