Only if we can both dress as our avatars. That is your avatar, right, rather than a self-portrait?
I miss TV Burp!

Emma Rice is spoiling us Northerners something rotten! Especially as the main reason her new company was awarded Arts Council funding was because it is based in the South West. |

Hmm. The Old Vic seems to be going for a completely different approach to All About Eve yesterday.
Instead of crawling slowly to the front of the queue before being shunted back a few thousand places, this one doesn't seem to be moving at all. The 'estimated wait time' is going down though, so who knows what's happening...

It let me in when the timer went down to 0, even though my queue number hadn't changed, and booking was very smooth. Only problem was when I went to add another production it too me back to the queue page - it was still my turn but had to wait to be redirected again. So if you are nervous, suggest buying one show at a time.
Lots of tickets left, All My Sons selling pretty well, American Clock much less so, so am going to hang on for offers on that one.

Any of the PWC preview £10 tickets left? |

I think those don't go on sale till 5 weeks before previews? Half the tickets for the previews will be on sale for full price but for the £10 seats you have to hang on.

Thats's the way the Old Vic booking system works - you're given a queue number - and that remains your number - it doesn't count down - although the estimated time does. Confused me when I first started using it.
And PWC £10 preview tickets don't usually go on sale until about 4 weeks before the start of the run - not when general booking opens. For those performances only full price tickets will be available at the moment.

Got what I wanted fairly easily: £21 dress circle seats for both The American Clock (I'm curious to see what Rachel Chavkin does with it) and All My Sons. The estimated wait time of 18 minutes from joining the queue turned out to be nearly 30, but it was a painless experience and I'm pleased with what I bought. It's certainly a stark contrast to the two-hour horror show I went through with the National on the first day of the booking period that opened in May.  |

My estimated time of entry into the site is still rising even though I haven't refreshed the page!
If there aren't any £21 tickets left then I might just wait for £10 previews...

Got on the site, put tickets in the basket and no way of actually seeing the basket, what the hell?!?
Now booted out again because I was trying to navigate around to see how the basket had disappeared.
Other browser coming up in a few minutes......

In stark contrast to yesterday’s experience with All About Eve, I started in position 23 in the queue and went through booking very easily today.

Let me get a ticket for one show and then kicked me out saying that there was an error whilst still letting me purchase the one already in my basket (which now turned up).
Now having to go to the back of the queue again to get the All My Sons ticket.
"There has been an error, and your queue number has been rejected. We have reported the issue, and apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, you will need to click the button below to get a new place at the end of the queue."
Not exactly a stable system. |

Started at 558, got through in about 45 minutes, got my preferred £16 circle seat for both. I wish all booking days were so smooth.

Took a while, once in everything went OK, plenty of seats available for both productions, maybe the slow pace was just to level load the system to avoid the meltdowns of yesterday. At work today so just left two browsers doing their thing in the background.
In all a successful week, 5 shows booked and all more or less the seats I was looking for, 2019 shaping up nicely.
The cycle begins again on Monday, the RSC Summer season and a few shows at the Kiln.
