Last minute theatre ticket booth near Waterloo?

Counting_Pennies_2

Hi all,


I am planning on seeing if there are any cheap last minute theatre tickets when I travel into London later this week.


We plan to spend the beginning of the day near Waterloo and then move on after that.


Does anyone know if there are any last minute theatre ticket booths near Waterloo so we don't have to travel so far for an off chance?


Many thanks

I've only ever heard of the Leicester Sq one. Do you not have a smartphone because the half price ticket booth in Leicester Square publishes a list of what shows are likely to be included each day on their website.

There may be some ticket sellers around Waterloo, but they may not have great prices.

I'd second the one in Leicester square and it's website is, I think, tkts.com or similar: they don't sell online but you can see what they have and then nip over if there's anything you like. Itstands alone on the Trafalgar Square side of L. Square. Any other ticket booth, whether around Leicester square or Waterloo may claim to be official or to have cheap tickets, but it won't be official and they won't be very good tickets!

I'd third that. There are ticket places just as you come out of Leicester Square tube station trying to fool you that they have the best prices. You need the smart stand-alone kiosk that's just by the park area in the middle of Leicester Square.


It won't take long to get there and get your tickets and back to Waterloo (assume you're doing the Eye or London Dungeon or Aquarium) if that's where you arrive.

Some good ideas here: http://www.theatremonkey.com/buyingforless.htm

I would imagine a lot of late booked tickets can be collected at the theatre. I've often collected tickets rather than had them posted.

There is also a ticket booth in Bond St station.

Just a thought: You could check online if you fancy seeing anything at the National Theatre or Royal Festival hall and then, as you travel into Waterloo, go straight there and get tickets.
