  • Finally!!!!

    OK, in case it helps anyone else, I switched from firefox to ie and found the system went through much quicker (this could have been coincidence with timing) I went through several dates and times only to be told there weren't enough seats. If you're after a weekend date you may well be out of luck already. I final got 5pm on Wed 23rd Dec, which dh going back into work begging to get the afternoon off. We go with friends and make a real day of it with the kids, taking them to the museums, etc

    I called them - got through in under five mins. Booked over the phone. Most weekend tickets gone although there are some if you only need 2/3.

    Having said that, I booked 10 tickets, last weekend in November.
