Donmar membership

Donmar is a funny one. I've been a member for years, largely for the advance booking. When there were productions like Othello with a starry cast I was able to bring my whole family and get wonderful seats, which was great. But it became more expensive, the shows became dodgier, you could only get two seats and the front row was taken away, so I let it lapse. About six months later, I thought, maybe I would like priority booking so rejoined but...it was treated as a renewal (possibly because of what Alnoor mentioned above - the cheapest membership not available to new members - I don't know, they didn't say. I just know when I renewed there were only six months left on the membership.) So I decided to let it lapse again. Too often when I book it's just because I feel I should use the membership and not because I think I couldn't get tickets otherwise.

But interesting that they are doing offers on membership.

My first membership was also at the time of Othello. It was brilliant. I used to get great seats. Little by little, however, this changed, and in the end I invariably got the last seats in the lateral rows. The rather restricted view I got for City of Angels made me drop the membership. I live in Dublin and can only fly to London to see shows on weekends. I understand these are the busiest days for theatres and it's harder to give everybody a good seat. So I gave up. It's NT and Almeida for me these days. It is curious that I never had a similar problem with the Almeida.

Brilliant and thanks for that.

So I have membership for the Almedia and National (Basic). So assume I would be aloud 2 tickets.

I only ever go to the theatre by myself, so always have a wasted ticket potential, so would be cool to buddy up with so,some and get the other half of their membership and the Donmar would be excellent, whilst they could take advantage of my Almedia/National membership.

Hope that doesn't sound convoluted and be great if there is a taker.

I'd consider an Almeida membership but only on the condition that the money is spent paying someone to sort out that completely fugly website.

Give me half an hour with Geocities Page Builder, I can knock you up something better than the existing one.

We'll see how fixed the Donmar booking is when I try to book tomorrow.

I had a similar problem last year - I emailed membership and they were helpful.

Been on the phone a while. So tried website. No decent seats for the performances I wanted and then when I did click a couple of tix for May, they wouldn't let me add to basket. How much do I want to see these plays, Limehouse and Uri? Not that much.
Well, do enjoy all you young things.....good luck with understanding Limehouse, prob as easy to grasp as Henry VI part One. I'm not bitter.

Noooooo! I thought at least if they had scrapped the Front Row Scheme I could console myself with the thought that Lynette was actually getting to sit there! This is just wrong on so many levels!

Bring back the days when they sent out the booking forms by post and you had to give 3 different possible dates, enclose a blank cheque (with maximum amount specified?) and then hurry to the post box and send back first class and they put you in order of received forms.....it wasn't so very long ago! Plus always used to get front facing stalls and membership was only £30!
