West End Theatre Tickets

Where's the best website for purchasing theatre tickets for the West End?

I fancy Grease next month but the ticket prices vary enormously from website to website and I am unaware of a "definitive" site to use.

Also is it better to have tickets posted to you or pick them up at the box office if you live a long distance from London?

TIA :-)

    I used https://www.seetickets.co.uk last month and saved £13 a ticket saving over other agencises, they only charge a small handing fee, no problems at all, they posted the tickets the next day

    p.s. If you decide to see an extra show, Jersey Boys is wonderful!

    Internet explorer cannot display the webpage. :confused: Anyone else get this?
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    Lastminute.com has some good offers, I always look here first. You can buy just tickets or a meal & show package which is often good value.

    It is sometimes worth ringing the theatre direct too, and just asking what is available.

    Anyone ever used https://www.theatreticketsdirect.co.uk?

    I am getting a good deal on Grease tickets there but am unsure if its a good/safe site or not!

    A friend of mine booked Grease tickets last August. She was really pleased as she got a great deal by ringing them direct, much better than online prices.
