    I assume the weekday seats will probably have better ones available than the weekend?
  • I know they are meant to be 'top-price' seats but is there any way to find out where you will be sitting after ordering?

    I'm getting errors all the time now when trying to order and I can't seem to find a phone number for Lastminute.com?

    Doesn't look like it. I'm concerned that best-available will mean at the time you pick up rather than when you order. So, you won't know what you get until you pick them up at the show.

    When I did one of these deals with the Telegraph, you phoned up and they could tell you when you ordered which seats they had.

    I only want to do this deal if it's going to be one of the £40+ seats, not one of the £20. I'm thinking that a weekday would be the best one to pick, any people with experience can recommend?

    in the small box with prices for the tickets it states "up to £55" so i am also concerned as to where the actual seat may be.The other deal in the dine and theatre for £20 states where the seats are...i think it said upper circle and are worth £17.50?
