Does anyone actually know of anyone who has actually obtained tickets from this draw? I keep trying but have never had any luck.

I've applied for tickets this time and also applied on a previous occasion. I wasn't successful last time but fingers crossed for the latest ballot.

I don't know if anyone has been successful from this site, it would be great to hear a success story. When you consider the usual ticket price for ballet or opera (and how difficult it is to get a seat), I can understand why there is a slim chance of your number being drawn.

I was successful the first time they made this offer but it wasn't well advertised so competition was much less stiff. I wasn't successful last time unfortunately.
If you are successful but don't take up the tickets you need to contact them & ask for the tickets to be re-allocated or you get struck off the list for not using them as there is such great demand.
If you enter the ballot be sure to keep the email with your ID number on it as not only do you need the ID number but you need to present a paper copy of the email, along with photo ID, when collecting the tickets. You need to physically collect the tickets from the box office on the day of the performance, you cannot alloacte your tickets to friends as you need to present photo ID and prrof of address. They are very strict about this!

Good luck everyone!

I've just signed up for this so I'm a little disappointed to read about all of your low levels of success at getting tickets. It's probably worth noting that more than one person per household can sign up for it so if you get your partner, kids, and pets to sign up for it you'll increase your chances of winning the ballot.

As well as the ROH offer Travelex run a scheme with the National Theatre (see http://www.nt-online.org/?lid=12761 for more info) for selected performances. This one is a bit easier to take advantage of as it's run on a first come first served basis. I used it last year to see a couple of things and over the next few weeks I'm going to see Henry IV part 2 and Theatre of Blood - all for only £10 per ticket.

Can't wait til someone wins and turns up with Freddie the goldfish in his bowl, Spanky the poodle, or Charlie the chimpanzee as proof for photo I.D. ... :j

Or maybe it should have been Spank the monkey...? :-/
