Free theatre tickets for 18-26 year olds (merged)

newmommyjen

Its a shame tat i am a tend too old for this when they do start.
I wonder how it will work if only ppl with Valid id to get tickets themselves or if they can get it for others. Will it be in the west end shows or am guessing only certain shows less knowen?
Why have they limited to younger ppl when others would like to go but cant afford it, eg ME!!!

They are still in the planning process so stay glued for any news.
Thats unless they change there minds tat is.

The Government are offering free theatre tickets to 18-26 year olds throughout England. Don't know much about it, just that it starts in february and the scheme is on a first come first serve basis.

Was really hoping for the Apollo Victoria theatre - Wicked! But it seems they aren't taking part

Also, anyone got any idea how to sign up?
