Cheap theatre ticket discussion

Hi,have to agree with p00sticks re Ambassador Theatres.If you join as a Friend for £30.00 pa you get some great deals.On Tuesday we saw Dreamboats and Petticoats at the Playhouse for £22.00 each while the full price on ATG site was £52.50 each.My wife and 4 others are going to see South Pacific in the Theatre Royal in Glasgow on Monday 14/11/11 and have paid £25.50 per ticket instead of £35.50 for their seats.It is a good investment if you enjoy the theatre and are able to check out the best deals on offer at the venue you want to visit.We reckon that since she joined she
has saved well over £100.00 on her theatre visits.Well worth checking out Ambassador Friends site.

twitter @sebastianmead regularly has cheap albert hall tickets for sale. It's usually for the classical concerts rather than the pop ones but worth a look anyway.

Hi I want to purchase 3 tickets for a West End show either on 22, 23 or 24 February 2012.
The shows I am interested in are Shrek, Mamma Mia, Wizard of Oz or Billy Elliot. We are on a budget, does anyone have any links for cheap tickets or discounts?
Many thanks

Not sure if this the right thread, apologies if not.

Have recently moved to Scotland and am looking for cheap theatre tickets for Glasgow or Edinburgh shows. Familiar with the many theatre sites for London, but can anybody suggest any to find the Scottish shows.

Many thanks in advance.

It looks like the Edinburgh Playhouse and several Glasgow theatres are part of the Abassadors group, so if you are likely to go quite a lot, then it might be worth investing £30 in a ATG theatre card, which gives you reduced price tickets (including often half price on opening nights) and other perks such a priority booking, no booking fees and discounts of interval drinks etc. As you can get reduced tickets for up to 4 people per show, I've found that you can usually recoupe the annual cost of the card in a single visit.

Wizard of Oz, Billy Elliot and Shrek all have dayseats,
Around £25-30 each, buy on the day when the box office opens is the usual way. You might need to queue a bit earlier, best to check with each theatre what the current policy is, some are credit card only. Its usually 2 per person so need 2 in the queue if you want 3 tickets.
