I don't get how you sign up for the free tickets? and what ones you get for free?

Each theatre is different. When you get through to the theatre it should say on the page how to do it. Some you have to join a scheme, some you have to phone the box office.

It looks like it!

Although, I've just seen that a friend of mine is doing a gig at the Northern Stage on Sept 29th :eek: Maybe I should ring her and get us all free seats?

Thought this sounded great until I saw both people have to be under 26, no good to me as my BF is over 26

Unless.... Wonder if I can get myself a free ticket, then we can just go halves on his full price one
