Les Mis tickets

Options
Three people visiting London for four days from 10th of March 2016. One person going really wants to see les Miserables. Looking at it we seem to be struggling to get three tickets direct from the theatre with all three sitting together. I'm surprised they are booked up that far ahead, but so be it.

Any thoughts/tips on what they could do? Any value in not booking and trying to get last minute tickets on the day or the day before?

Looking for reasonable seats, and obviously using this site, anything money saving would be a bonus!

    Last minute tickets for Les Mis are fairly unlikely, IMO. You could try queueing at the box office on the day for returns, but you'd have to get there early and be prepared for disappointment. Whatever you do, DON'T buy them from people touting on the streets and, preferably from nowhere other than the official half-price ticket booth in Leicester Square (opposite the Capital Radio building). None of these could guarantee that you will all get seats together.

    Personally, I would book the tickets and not sit together. You can catch up at the interval in the bar or foyer.

    Enjoy! ;)

    We've now bought tickets from the theatre direct, rather than the box office. Still limited supply, but we managed to get three together.

    Thanks for your advice it helped us make up our minds to go for it now, rather than waiting.

    That's brilliant news, I'm glad you got your tickets 😊 I hope you enjoy the show - I've seen it in London four times (and that's not many for me, hehe... I was even (stupidly) on Mastermind recently with Gloria Swanson as my specialist subject because I love Sunset Boulevard so much... :o )

    I hope you and your friends have a fantastic time in London, it's a great city. xxx
