in Freebies (no spend required)
Hey,

From February 2009, 18-26 year olds will be eligible for free theatre tickets on a first-come first-served basis. The scheme details are here:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2008/sep/23/free.theatretickets

I'm a 22 year old DFW and I definitely can't afford the theatre (I struggle to run to one or two drinks in the pub of a Saturday night!) so this idea is very welcome - I love the theatre and miss having "posh" nights out! Am very excited now! :j

Oh and for the forward-planners amongst you ... try to get some for a romantic play to celebrate Valentine's Day if you like (I'm thinking Shakespeare if it's on!), but remember I have first dibs on the idea! :p

Hope that helps xx

    Sorry I don't know, I've bookmarked the site and I'm going to search on Google closer to the time... or phone one of the theatres mentioned in the article in January, if all else fails. Sorry that's not much help really is it! xx
