London Shows

Please can you help.

Me and my sister are taking our mum to London for the weekend and are wanting to go to a show while there. The prices are extremely expensive, has anyone got any tips of how we can get cheaper but not too high or restricted view tickets? Looking at paying £50 per ticket.

Thank you in advance

    The tickets in the front row of les mis arer £45 for the two directly behind the conductor as appantly his baton can be a distraction.

    Also if you type in NEWS when booking blood brothers the tickets are about £20 each at the moment

  • Thank you for that info re Blood Brothers Standingtall, but it is out of our date range, we are going 17/18 November.


    Thanks
  • What do you want to see? The National is always cheaper than the West End but there are often bargains to be had by checking Lastminute.com and Theatremonkey.

    The booths at Covent Garden & Leicester Sq have some great offers if you don't mind getting tickets the day of the show.

    If not, See Tickets are a good bet.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.

    lastminute dot com have some good offers for Wicked. The theatre is big so you don't really get a bad view in the upper circle. I went last night and loved it! Paid £30 per ticket including all fees instead of the usual £53+fees.

    The Great Declutter Challenge - £876 :)

  • Buy directly from the theatre always cheaper
  • Have you tried : Broadwaybox.com/london/, they are famous for Broadway discounts, but they also have a whole section on London, including theatre. I found good deal for "We Will Rock You".
