The £395 seats appear to be row C of the stalls, and are £395 on weekends, £350 midweek. Just look what you get for that enormous sum...

Update on prices - it's actually not bad, so worry not! Prices for Weds 24th Jan (believe this may still be in preview at that point): £25 - rows F and G of Grand Circle £35 - front row of Grand Circle £55 - rows B to E of Grand Circle In the Dress Circle there's a much bigger range of prices, with some premiums up to £300 in front row. But some standard in front row for £125 too, G to K is mostly £90 with some at £55 and £75, then L and M are £75, and N is £55. Stalls U to W are £55, S and T £75, O to R are £90, plus some at £90 at sides in rows further forward. The centre is mostly £140 to £350 from C back to J, but then with central seats at £125 from K to N. Looks like A and B across the front are £90 but don't think the whole rows are on sale yet. Apologies this is a little jumbled, but I hope it helps - and reassures for those of you queuing. Thank you! Really helpful. A decent range there. I'm down to about 6,000 ahead of me with apparently another 30 minutes to go. |

Seems to being having an effect on all of the ATG booking site, bookings for any of the regional venues also seem to being going via queue-it and getting stuck every time the queue gets paused.

Yeah my queue paused 10 minutes ago and I haven't moved in line since. I've signed up to receive an email when it's my turn. Hopefully it works because I'm just driving myself mad staring at a number that's not changing at this stage!
As soon as I pressed submit my queue restarted and has me back to a 58 minute wait.

Is it just ATG members on sale right now? I signed up for the priority booking but haven’t had an email and desperately want to see this.

I suspect they’re designed to manage volumes of people in the queue to protect their system, rather than represent how many are actually queuing. For every person who bails out… result. |

Another reason to cancel ATG membership. Paying fifty quid a year, but they open a presale to everybody!

They did the same with Sunset Boulevard - member presale went live at the same time as everyone who'd signed up for the production's presale. It really ought to be 10am for ATG+ then midday for the production presale perhaps. The demand wasn't anywhere near as high for Sunset, so it was less of an issue, but for Plaza, I totally agree it's unfair paying members are having to join a queue full of those who just signed up for an email. |

That's because they had already reached that queue position, and your queue id was held in cookies. The queue was 9,700 at 10:03 and that position is down to 4,200 now (11:13), so the first 5,500 places have passed. Right now, the back of the queue has 15,000+ in front. |

That's so annoying. Tried on another device - didn't work for me! Well done though.

Agreed. This ridiculous system is so annoying; was waiting for a pop-up link after the countdown but nothing. 8000 ahead of me apparently. Who knew this or they were so popular? What?! This will be a complete sell out before it opens. SJP is hugely popular- and famous. I got in first thing and it was very quick and easy. Now however , the queue is 15,000 ! |

Although what seats and in which location they are is anyone's guess as for neither Sunset nor Plaza did I see anything marked as specifically for ATG+ members. |

That counts for absolutely nothing when non members are getting tickets before paying members. It's obscene to charge people for benefits they aren't even getting. |

Just went back in and it says I'm in queue postion 3000 and counting down..so it still must be remembering my postion...its not taking me to the booking page...so thinks I haven't booked when the queue disappeared briefly..? |

Oh you will get zero argument from me on that! Completely agree. |

That is indeed strange. It sounds like they temporarily deactivated the Queue-Id system and you got in during that window. ATG's software and IT management are dreadful generally. I got in after 102 minutes. Managed to find two good seats at £90 for front stalls central for a midweek in March. I thought it odd that two adjacent seats were still available in such a prime location, and weirdly, when you filtered to show only seats for "£140 (package)", these two were the only ones highlighted. But the system proceeded to offer them for the correct price of £90, so I booked them, but it then failed at the payment stage, so I had to start all over again and try a different date. Honestly, if there was an Olivier for most inept theatre operator, ATG would win it every year. |

I didn’t get a link and didn’t realise they’d gone out so had to email ATG and joined the queue at 15000.

Booked two upper circle £25 seats as I'd just like to see SJP.
don't really care about the play but don't like missing out so thought I'd give it a whirl.
Loads of availability though for most shows

I logged in just after 10am and was approx 4000 in the queue. When it got down to 307 and a 2 min wait, the queue was paused for about 15 mins. Got in at about 11:05 and bought row W in the stalls.
