LOL I give up.
Just going to try later; let's hope there's some left!
The Gielgud only seats just under 1000, so 18000 is only 36 performances sold out, and that's if everyone in the queue 2 buys tickets... I'm being very hopeful here haha!

I got in and booked around30 minutes ago.
There were plenty of seats available. I went for the last date (hoping they don’t extend) as cant make the last date of the queens theatre show.

My booking email confirmation however is completely messed up. Doesn’t tell me the date or seats or anything. Just a lot of weird text.
I printed the confirmation of the screen though so hopefully it’s just IT issues.

God that took forever! Only just managed to get in, but there were loads of tickets and I managed to get the 2 seats I was looking for on my b'day - which happens to be a Thursday. Very excited to see JOJ again.
My booking email is also completely messed up, I'm quite relieved to see it's not just me! Probably the worst booking experience I've ever had with Delfont Mackintosh, it's normally quite smooth.

My lunch hour is over so I've given up. Never mind, I'd like to see it but no that badly

There will be plenty of tickets across all price points available so do not worry if you’re not in a queue now, I’m 99 per cent certain if you went on at 10pm today you’d have your choice of dates and seats.

So I've a restricted (but green) Grand Circle for the first night and a front Stalls for the Friday 29th November as I'm seeing Tim Minchin on the Saturday ..
OUCH - just peeked in on that last night again and the premium tickets are now £152.50, Rows E to K in an odd square (middle square sold out)... Row E 8 to 19, Rows F to J seats 9&10 and 18&19, Row K 8 to 19 ....
Chuffing Ada.
In the 30 seconds it took me to type that all but the Row E had disappeared ...

Thinking of going up to the Gielgud. Are the cheapest £17.50 as Ryan said?

I turned the window off by mistake. Now 24,071 in the line. SEE! SEE! *THIS* is why I was on two browsers because I have numpty moments and click myself out! Have discovered I'm stockpiling Les Mis tickets in case of Brexit ... Anyone want a lovely Stalls ticket for Tim Minchin in Southend? Anyone? Anyone? |

I've seen several on twitter saying they are being pushed back in the line rather than moved forward.

I've given up 25 336 as I closed my browser I was at 1000th something in the queue. I'll try later again if they have them at the price I want to pay I'll get them if not my tickets booked omfor April in Birmingham to see the tour will have to suffice

Joined on my phone at 3000+ but my screen turned off so I got put back to 11,000+. Same thing happened on my tablet - I was at around 5800 and waited until 2000 when my screen switched off. I've given up at 26,000+ and will try my luck tonight.
Seeing the reaction towards Boe on Twitter, hopefully I'll get the dates and price I want for JOJ.

I'll look for a midweek matinee when the kids and house wives will hopefully not be in.

I was able to get in just now and took a peek around. Sadly the slips seats where I sat for £25 for Company are either gone or not on sale. Cheapest I saw was £32.50 on the sides of the Upper Circle, classified as Restricted View. But there was lots of availability across the board, so no worries if you're stuck in a queue. Didn't book anything as I really can't be bothered. I loved Alfie Boe's Valjean (yea, so shoot me) and I like Michael Ball in general (shoot me again), but I'm just not that excited about it all.

Got the date and seats I wanted. I loved how after 2 hours it changed from 30minutes to 25 wait.

Just got in and booked, there are so many seats available so don't worry. Even tomorrow I think there will be plenty left.

Do they let you buy a single seat or are they discriminating if I wanted to sit on my own?
I thank you.

I figure if I hate this Les Mis concert doings after my restricted view first night I'll flog the Bally/Boe's on and see the Minchin. I can feel a spreadsheet in the offing ... |

Finally got through and shelled out for a central stalls row D seat for JOJ's last scheduled show. I also just realised that my birthday falls on a Monday this year which means he'll be performing - I think I'll start giving my family hints about what to do if they want to treat me 😉
@ryan I just booked a single seat and the system didn't berate me. I didn't leave any single seats as a result, though, so can't guarantee that it would still let you in that situation.
