Follies

[andromedadench]

I'm not even trying to book any today and I'm stressed - the way the first couple of posts started, I fully expected to see ''Made it to the checkout but the theatre burst into flames''. 
Now I really wonder what will be left on offer by May 3... 250 £ ones?

Tickets sorted! The site does seem to be moving a lot quicker now. As at 9.40am there still seems to be plenty of tickets for most dates (think with the crash not too many have been sold yet...) so keep the faith!

I wanted opening night but I guess that was always a pipe dream!

When the site came back up my basket was empty. Went back to the same date for Follies and found I could select the same seats again. I see they have added a new element of tension on the individual seat selection page by showing you seats available but having a queue on the page itself. This happened for both Follies and Oslo.

Still I did get to book good £15 front seats for both shows.

Reference earlier posts about tickets held back for the later advance booking date. During an previous (calmer) priority booking, after selecting the tickets I wanted, I looked at various date for several productions and could see each date had the same pattern of availability with a good number of seats not showing as available. This would seem to confirm that advance members are given a fair crack at obtaining good seats.

Got my tickets, had to go up price bands as the seats I originally had got in my basket this morning had long gone, but oh well, still seeing it!

Ah sod it, just booked some for another date as well!

That was FUN AND A HALF... Not!

Whoever said here (can't remember who) there would be tonnes of 15£ tickets for this level of membership was way wrong

Since I'm paying a lot for my "General Public" membership, I will wait until 5th May to book my tickets - do you know what is the availability for tickets later in the run?

Any particular date you want me to have a look at for you?

[BurlyBeaR]

What's the price range of tickets for ordinary mortals?

No performances those dates, but the week after, 16th or 17th, there is a fairly large number of  £41 and £57 seats left

Not been that tense about getting tickets since Kate Bush! Done though, can't wait

[ali973]

I totally forgot to sign in on time so I was around 45 minutes late..Then after a long time I finally remembered I was in queue so I lost my place..then finally I managed to grab some tickets in September without that much difficulty. So yea..here we are. September. It was a rather drama free event.

For some reason my friend booked us into the first preview on the 22nd August. Fingers crossed it's not cancelled.

Not a fan of the first preview!

AmEx Invites booking opens Wednesday 3 May at 08:30.

Well, the booking has calmed down now but there are no cheap ticks left for anything that I could see... I know I'll regret this later, but I decided to live without and give my credit card a break. Might try again on advanced booking day and see what comes up!

[Mr Wallacio]

I managed to get myself the last two front cheap tickets for the date I wanted. I had wanted to book more but discovered on trying to book more tickets on a different date later in the run that I was only allowed two cheap tickets for this production (is this a National Theatre general rule? I've not tried to book more than two before for a single production so don't know).

Two seats not next to each other, but at least my friend and I are seeing it. Plus we don't need to talk to each other during the actual show anyway, so have no need to sit next to each other.

I hope you are still near enough so you are able to pass sweeties (ideally in wrappers) to each other. If not perhaps invest in a tennis racket
