Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - RETURNS QUEUE THREAD

Your plan sounds good but make sure you buy the £199 ticket at least 28 days before you would might want to return it....they will only take returns purchased 28 days or more before!  See frequently asked questions on the play website!  
And enjoy the play, it's great! 

We go 24th September but honestly will understand it either way. It only really gets ambiguous if the date is the same as the year, so is "September 17" the 17th of September, or just September in 2017?

Hi guys!

Up to today I had no idea that it was possible to secure tickets for this outside of the Friday Forty! After queueing for Matilda I passed the Palace Theatre around 10:30 and spotted the queue, after which I freaked out of course haha. At 10:30 there were around 15 people in the queue, with the people in the front reportedly having been there since 7:30am.

As I had tickets to see Matilda at 3:00PM today I didnt join the queue myself but when I passed the theatre at 11:30 there were around 7 people left and when I passed it just before 3pm there was nobody there.

Anyway, I went home and checked the ticket website to check which days I would try to queue for tickets and spotted some 15 pound restricted view tickets for Part Two for Next week - which I impulsively snatched up (:. I will still be trying to queue for the part one ticket, does anyone know what time you would have to be there on a thursday if you would want just the part one ticket? And if you were to go by the box office around 5pm what are the chances that you could still pick one up? Thank you!

Hi,

Me and my brother are really trying to get hold of tickets for 25th or 26th of November but website still saying all sold out unless you go as part of the hotel packages which are crazy prices. We are in London from the Saturday lunch time anyway but are going to try our luck with the returns queue on Sunday morning for that day if no luck before then.

Just wondering are the weekend returns queues still really busy and have people been managing to get hold of tickets using this quite easily, will obviously still try Friday forty although no luck there so far

Thanks

I went there monday morning 11.20 and got front row stalls for 40quid each for tonight and tomorrow. Yeah, more expensive then lottery, but already worth every penny lol.

Deceivingly it's not actually a lighting rig. It's a support structure for the works taking place on the stalls bar, which lies below that plaza area and is notorious for flooding. With some awful timing, Westminster council are simultaneously remodelling Cambridge Circus, so the whole area is a complete mess. There's been complaints and protests from local businesses as apparently it's affecting trade. No idea when the works are due to be completed.

Hey, was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Returns Queue lately? Looking to get a pair of tickets but don't know how likely that is.

Hi to evryone from Mexico! Please excuse me if my grammar or ortography is not good but I´m currenttly learning the languague. So maybe this question´s are not directlly ralated to the tittle of the thread but I throght that it wasn´t necessery to do a new one just for this. I will see Harry Potter with my sister next june 21-22. My seats are in the Stalls row M 24-25. First of all..Do you know if there are good seats??? I mean when I book them by phone the laidy told me that there were "clear view" but as I can see from photos there are a little, like, on the side, (and you have the dress circle that it block a little in the top); you can´t trully belive what you see from a picture for sure, so that´s why I´m asking and, besides, theater´s are very different here (not so old beutiful and grand for example). Second: We both are very short pepole and I read arround the internet that if you are very short other head´s pepole can block your view. What Can we do if this is that is the case? Or we just have to accept it and try to see around pepole head´s? Third and last question: I was born with a disability. I can walk with a cane and all. But I can´t be seated in a space with no much legroom because my legs begin to hurt you know..., I read coment´s of other pepole about this in theater´s threads and I´m very worried about that too....Sooo...again..what can I do if that is the case??? I know that I can arrive and ask in the box office, I don´t really need to ask all this, maybe dumb question´s in the thread but I don´t know what is normal or no to comentt in your country, perhaphs is not correct to ask all this things because well, you broutght a ticket and you got what you got and anyone is asking about all the things that I just wrote. So thenk you so much in advance! And long live to the theater. I´m currently studing my B.A on drama Have a good day. Cedriko

So...next week (Thursday 21) is our big day for Cursed Child! I´m already planing our turists schedule in London. Have a cuple of questions:
1: Is REALLY necesary to be in the qiue an hour before the show our could we arrive like...I don´t know...6:50-7pm? Show starts at 7:30pm
2: As maybe everyone already know in this messagge-board, because I had mentioned constantly, I have a phisical disability. Is the qiue for enter to the theater, very long? They have chairs or something in the lobby of the theater? (I can be stand like an hour or so). I know they have stairs to get to the Stalls section, where is where will be seated, no problem with that
3: This is maybe, a random question, but, Do you know if they sell the bronchure with the current cast allready? (Third year)
4: And this question will sound, perhaps, really stupid, but, I understand that the differences between THE PROGRAM and the BRONCHURE is that the programm have only the info of the show, cast, and creative team, and the Bronchure, (asaide that, is bigger than the program) have many pictures of the show, is that correct? If I´m wrong, could you correct me please? Here in Mexico, we only have programs
5: Could you recomend me a good (and cheap jaja) restaurant to get a meal before the show, that is near to the Palace theater. I have seen many suggestions in the HP website but I really don´t know what to pick. We really will like to try british food.
Thank you so much in advance folks!!!!

I went a few weeks ago and yes the queue does move quickly so I wouldn’t say you need to be there a full hour before.
Yes the main difference between the programme and the brochure is the photographs. Are you seeing both parts in one day? Just so you’re aware, they don’t start selling the brochure until Part 2, so don’t worry if you only see the programme at the first play!

No, harrie, I will see the show on two days consecutively. I will wait untill the second day to buy the brochure then. Thank you so much!
