Theatre tickets

Where can I buy theatre tickets for their face value, i.e a £25.50 ticket to mamma mia for £25.50, not £40?

    I think the only way you can do this is to go into Prince of Wales Theatre box office and book them. Otherwise you'll get charged a booking fee

    http://www.delfontmackintosh.co.uk/Tickets/MammaMia.php

    'All prices are subject to a £1.50 booking fee except those booked in person at the Box Office. Please note the booking fee is £1.75 per person after 27th April. All prices include a 75p theatre restoration levy.'

    That's the best I can offer as I'm looking to buy some tickets myself for the first time.

    Looking for the same type of thing really. Am going to London this weekend and would like a last minute ticket for a show. Someone said there is a general discount ticket outlet in Leicester Square or Covent Garden.

    Does anyone have any details please?

    We are travelling to London next month and my first choice of show was We Will Rock You however tickets through ticketmaster are coming in at £60 each so rather expensive.

    Would we be able to get tickets for We Will Rock You at the TKTS booth at Leicester Square or is it really just pot luck on the day.

    Also we are staying at Holiday Inn Knightsbridge how easy is it to get to Leicester Square?

    Thanks in advance for any help
