Has anyone ever used this site?

They have some good prices for West End shows, but I've only ever used Last Minute or the TKTS booth before.

For West End tickets I always end up using discounttheatre or ticketmaster. Never had a problem with discounttheatre - I always do the pick up at box office option, rather than having tickets delivered.

Have also done a hotel+theatre deal with discounttheatre before and that was great.

Thanks! I refuse to use Ticketmaster because of all the extra costs. Have now booked for Calendar Girls through discount theatre. I like that you can view your seat number before you buy. Although I've always had decent seats with LastMinute too.
I live in London, so usually don't bother looking at theatre + hotel deals, but it would be nice as a treat.
Looking forward to the show...:T

Enjoy! I like the fact you know your seat numbers with discounttheatre too. I don't use lastminute for exactly that reason - I like to know what I'm getting and I'm fussy about where my seat is.

Sometimes they're the cheapest and sometimes they're randomly expensive - that's the only downside. But always worth a look when you're booking tickets.

Also worth looking at theatre monkey's site too. They have a really good section about the seating plans for each theatre, telling you if they're good value for money, and featuring reviews about the seats-legroom, view, etc.
