    I've been trying to call, but the phone's been busy. I hope they're not being inundated with requests. :(

    I got an engaged tone for more than half an hour, and then eventually it rang for 3 minutes and when I got a reply, the lady didn't have a clue what I was talking about, she went off to check and came back and told me the person who is dealing with this booking is out of the office and she would get her to ring me back.

    Yeehaaa!!!! I got two tickets! Had no luck on the phone though, hit redial for hours but always just got the Engaged signal so decided to send the OH down to the Globe Teatre in person :D who said there was a queue a mile long but he did manage to get tickets!!! :beer:

  • Whooopeee! I got tics too. Managed to get the above number twice but no one answer it!

    I rang 020 7401 9919 instead & after 1.5 hrs, hurray!
    Apparently it's max 4 tics per person. If you don't use the tics on that day, you have to return to the box office so they can give it away.

    THanks to OP!
