lastminute.com pricing misleading? Trading standards issue?

crlong

Hi,

I looked at lastminute.com for tickets for the show War Horse, which has been running for several years in London. The lastminute website displays a calendar page for each month with a "from" price for each date. Currently (Dec 2015) half of the January 2016 tickets are advertised as "from" £28.75. There are no tickets available at this price for any performance in January 2016. The cheapest single ticket price offered is £52. Apart being a waste of my time looking for reasonable priced tickets for this show, is this display of "headline" prices, none of which are available, contravening some Trading Standards rule / law?

Regards,

Clive

Are you sure .

It defaults to "2 tickets" ( drop down box on the right hand side of the screen with the calendar)
When you change to look for just 1 ticket I find a lot at the £28.75 price

Plenty of £28.75 (£25 ticket + £3.75 booking fee) available for me on

Jan 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 14th, 18th, 19th, 21st, 22nd, 25th, 27th, 30th

These are Band D Seat *(rv)

{ '(rv)' means some seats at this price may have a restricted view.}

As others have already said, there are tickets available at that price.

But you are right... if there were no tickets available, or they never were available, at that price then it may well be an issue for Trading Standards.
