Managed to get mine but not terribly happy with front row of Royal Circle for £65! Restricted view but I am guessing that is just a safety rail.

To be fair to them though, those "people with more money than sense" go some way to funding the cheaper tickets that we all love so much.

I'm done now too. I might have just spent half of my salary on this but I'm quite happy with the outcome. Twice Row D center, one Row C and one Row K all in the stalls over the course of the run... That was one hell of a ride... 🙈

I've still got nothing and they won't answer on twitter If you are a card member, just go to the normal ATG site, go to Betrayal and enter your card number after clicking on the date. You don't need a special URL. Yes, it took me a while to realise I could just login with my card- doh! Though there is a peculiarity with ATG that you have to sign in with your member number, but also be logged in to your account- realised that was why I couldn't see tickets initially. Anyway, thankfully I had an hour to spare this morning- all done and not having to try on my phone at work! |

Got myself sorted after a false start with the "no date selected" problem - back of stalls. Bit pricier than the rest of the Pinter season though.

After a bit of a bumpy ride early doors, I finally got a ticket. C1 in stalls in May. It is going to be part of my London theatre binge for my birthday week.

Thank you @theatremonkey was being stupid and looking for Pinter theatre. Got called away for work, bought nothing so far. Can't afford anything but basic and at the top I'm not sure whether I'll be more annoyed at distance than if don't see at all. I blame stupid netball and it's resulting expensive physio and prescription charges.

To my surprise, it was seamless - I expected the usual horror but spent only 8 minutes in queue and then got my ticket very easily. I'm horribly ill but had to go to work today because of a super important meeting (which was obviously cancelled) so at least I'm feeling less miserable now. After all, I'm going on a date with Tom Hiddleston next year (not that he's aware).

Given that unique presale links or codes can be supplied to customers why on earth do producers choose instead to send things out at the last minute?! I presume the idea was to stagger them a bit so that everyone didn't pile on to the website at 9:00, but didn't seem to stop the site grinding to a halt! Suspect partly due to people without the link heading to the site anyway to try and get in at 9! |

Gave up. By the time I got access they were only offering not so good tickets at a very expensive price. Fingers crossed for Day Seats

front row of Royal Circle for £65! Restricted view but I am guessing that is just a safety rail If it is A6 or 12, yes, it's a rail and it's hardly in view. Good grab. 1 and 2 / 16 / 17 lose a smidge of stage corner, but again, not bad at all, given what other seats cost. It's Royal Circle - Restricted View/A 7-8 (2). Is that terrible? If it is I'll call up the theatrecard line and see if they can exchange me for something better. Legroom may be an issue for my friend, thinking about it - as a shortarse it won't be a problem for me. Also booked for the final show of the run - so I expect they'll extend for a week now! Best it was offering was Stalls (Right)/N 8 for £75 for that. I suspect there's been a bunch of very good seats held back for public booking - and I notice nothing has yet progressed yellow 'good' availability. |

Oh, sorry, mis-read it. Forgot Royal is Upper. It's legroom in that row, and there are vertical support bars in front of 8. If you can change it, I think you should, particularly if your friend is tall. £65 is a lot for that row, I think. Swapped to Row E 6-7 in the dress circle, for £65. Still a bit of pillar action but should be to the extreme side of the stage. Took me half an hour to get through on the phone - it sounds like there was a complete balls-up with the Pinter at Pinter ticket holder priority booking. |

Well judging by all those twitter posts the majority of ticket holders did not get a link. The poor people that were handling those social media accounts today are the real heroes! 🙈 Congrats on swapping your ticket! ☺️ |

Thanks to you Monkey!
I do hate booking tickets when there’s no seating plan available - it’s so much easier to find the best seats left in each price band when you can see them laid out on the plan. It took me ages to realise that all the £40 tickets are rear restricted view and all the £65 are slightly affected by some form of pillar or rail. I even managed to get a top-priced near pillar seat I’d normally avoid (though I’m fairly confident that one is fine, really, since I have been perfectly satisfied sat directly behind the pillar in question before now). I might even have gone for the cheaper behind pillar seat if it was available!

Lovely whole page advertising in the Evening Standard of Mr Hiddleston in this.
I'd love to see it but I'm done booking things like this because of all of the 'must book now will sell out' adverts. If there's a seat left closer to the time, I'll go.

It took me ages to realise that all the £40 tickets are rear restricted view and all the £65 are slightly affected by some form of pillar or rail. You realised more than me! Was convinced there had to be better seats for my money. Just know as more casting is announced i'll be regretting not buying and equally that I can't afford the price of most of these seats and get grumpy when i'm not near the front for the cheaper seats. Wish i'd made more attention to the view from the back when I was there the other week. |

There’s a pretty good chance that better seats in each price band have been held back for public sale - not having a seating plan on view makes it very hard for anyone to complain after the fact, or realise. I swear that has happened before!
And then of course there will be the dayseats/TodayTix!
I do wonder if this production will actually sell out. Most productions in a theatre this size don’t, after all, sell completely out.

If there's a seat left closer to the time, I'll go. I know exactly what you mean Steve. I wasn't even expecting a link to pre-sale this morning when one came through and so booking for this wasn't on my mind (I then remembered it's because I'd booked Jamie Lloyd's Doctor Faustus with ATG). Then because I had a link I kept on checking for the one date next May I could potentially go when I'm in London. I couldn't see a seating plan and for 78 quid including booking fee it kept on offering me the stalls C3 or C19. Anyway I didn't bite because I already have a ticket for Death of a Salesman for that slot which I got for £25. I thought I would have the option of returning the ticket to the Young Vic but then thought why not just stick to Death of a Salesman. Enough rambling. The point I'm clumsily trying to make is that the whole fear of missing out can potentially cause you to lose the run of yourself and sometimes you have to take a step back from the hype! |

Unfortunately I will miss this. |

I hadn’t realised that I had been sent a link for the presale, just went and had a look to see what is left. There seems to be roughly the same stalls tickets (same seats in the same rows) left for many midweek performances later in the run. Makes me think that they must have held a bunch back.
As always, I think the prices at the Pinter are ludicrous.
