In the spirit of the thread then, my experience with TodayTix.
I've had two shows which were cancelled. Only Fools and Horses on the 26th March, and The Cursed Child on the 25th March.
I received my voucher for OFAH on the 26th March, and the Cursed Child one late last week despite the show being an earlier date. I think they must be dealing with booking for shows which are confirmed as cancelled in the order they were booked, as I booked my OFAH tickets quite a while before the Cursed Child.
Both vouchers were received in line with the timelines they set out, though I was a bit confused by the order, and any emails I sent with queries were answered the same day.
As a note, because this is one of the questions I had. You can't pre-load your voucher onto your todaytix account, but it will work like a gift card, in that you don't need to spend it all at once. Any money you spend will be deducted from the total on the code and you can continue to use it until you've used all your credit.

Also excited for this. I managed to catch it in London with my afternoon of on NYE and had been nagging my parents to go and see it in Southampton this month.

The Phoenix in Mulan is more of an inspirational mirage than a character she interacts with. Pocahontas actually speaks to Flit and Meeko, whereas Mulan essentially sees the Phoenix when she needs guidance or in moments of hardship ie when she gets lost, or needs to raise her game in a fight and she then is able to get back on the right path. I was referring to the live action Mulan movie. As was I. There isn't a Phoenix in the animated version.

Has anyone signed up?
What will you be watching first?
I logged on before starting work this morning, and started where it all began, Steamboat Willie.

I really don't think it'll be the big films getting released on streaming services. The ones we have seen so far were already at the cinema and had their run interrupted. It makes sense for those films like Onward and Harley Quinn to release on streaming because they have already had some sort of theatrical run.
A lot of licensing contracts are based on box office figures so if the films don't get released in cinemas they will attract a much lower license fee. So it isn't just the money from the ticket sales themselves that will have an effect, there are longer term impacts.

Everything at the Mayflower is cancelled/postponed until the 24th May (the day before my birthday). This includes my tickets for Once on the 23rd which I got for my birthday last year :C

I'm wondering if this will apply if you make bookings now and they are subsequently cancelled? {Spoiler - click to view} Might be a good opportunity to get a guaranteed 10% boost on future TodayTix bookings

Not an offer per se, but when booking my seats on todaytix this week I found out that it now works on PC, not just the app. Found this really useful in seeing which would offer me the best tickets as you can't select your own. Held the max number of tickets in a row in the first offering it was giving me on browser so my phone was forced to give me something else which I liked better.
I've always used multiple phones before so this makes things a bit easier!

Just had a little spree:
£15 ticket for myself for the Wedding Singer tomorrow. £15 tickets for me and a friend for Jamie in a few weeks. She's been desperate to go for ages so I'm treating her as a belated Birthday present. £45 stalls tickets for me and my parents to Only Fools and Horses in March.

Got to the theatre around 6.15 last night, but no luck. Cheapest was £70.
The TKTS booth does have discounted tickets, but by the time we got there all they had left was single seats for £60.
We went out for dinner instead and have booked £35 seats for next week.

Is there any point asking at the theatre for any last minute discounted tickets? Keep an eye for "dynamic pricing" online at the website. Beyond that, people on here do try at other shows - asking the very last moment before it starts. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. School of Rock has usually been good for this in the past so we might chance it and if we can't then go out to dinner and book for next week instead.

Is there any point asking at the theatre for any last minute discounted tickets? A friend and I were planning on getting last minute tickets Wednesday evening, but if there is no chance we'll look to book ahead on a date with more availability. I was aiming to get to the theatre around 6pm.
There are over 100 tickets left for Wednesday currently...

Might have come across better if the Doctor had had a better response to Graham talking about his fears. Or any response really!

Watched on the tube home yesterday and agree it felt disjointed. I thought we were going to get the Doctor having an adventure on her own, not really sure what the point in dropping the others off only to pick them back up again straight away.
It really felt like two separate episodes were half formed and then mashed together. Not sure the point of even having the Aleppo part? What did it add?

He's categorically said that he hasn't been forced into making the announcement, but how true that is...

Disney has a bunch of brands for releasing various types of content under. Even more so now that the Fox acquisition has completed. Touchstone was a Disney brand, so technically Con-Air is a Disney film, and Nicolas Cage is definitely a Disney Princess. Lol. That's true they have lots of different brands to release it under. It probably says a lot about me, but when I hear 'Disney' and 'musical', I just think of "High School Musical", "Mary Poppins" and "Beauty and the Beast". And Disneyland. 😂 That's the whole point of the different brands. So that we don't associate those films with the wholesome Disney. I don't get why we still have separation between Disney Animation and Pixar, from a branding perspective, but Disney, Marvel, 20th Century Studios etc are all distinctly branded for their respective target markets.

After 1h45 I got in and managed to get tickets for the day I wanted. There wasn't the greatest selection left in the stalls so I opted for the dress circle.

Hoping to be in by 12.

Has the last performance sold out? Is it likely any further tickets will be released? Producers are holding all tickets back from general sale, they have an invite list and once everyone replies and tickets have been allocated they will release any available tickets. Box office don’t know when or even if there’ll be any tickets left to sell Thanks, A friend of mine suggested we go as she hasn't seen it, so I suggested we try for the last one. I think we'll plan on that weekend and see if anything gets released nearer the time, and if not go to one on Saturday.
