I haven't been to any theatre or entertainment venue since lockdown but have three shows booked now including Les Mis. I prefer to wear a face visor though I always have a new face mask with me should I be challenged - were there visor-wearers at the theatres you have visited ? Can't say I saw any visors. Just masks and several were theatre related including mine which is a "the show must go on" one. But the visor does the same job and probably more comfortable. I didn't spot any at the Palladium, but at Wembley Park for Sleepless, they were actively handing them out to anyone who didn't have or couldn't wear a mask. I'm sure they're an acceptable alternative at all venues. |

I eventually got in but no 2 seats available for any of the dates I tried. Oh well, at least I've got the recording if I can't see it live again.

I logged in about 15 minutes ago out of interest, only to find I was 35,000+ in the queue! Might look again later.

I was about 5500 in the queue and got through eventually about 13:45, I couldn’t find any stalls seats for any Saturdays evenings already! So I’m near the front of the grand circle which I’m still happy with. Good luck to everyone else still waiting  |

Friend of mine e mailed me at 1204 to say she was 2266 in the queue and just sent me another e mail to say she chose her seats, got to page 3 of booking and had the 10 minute counter then it crashed. Lost her seats and she is now 33,028 in the queue.

Judging from the numbers in the queue, and the lack of seats, this could easily add on another 6 weeks.

I can confirm that face visors are much more comfortable, to the extent that I keep forgetting to take mine off, though my son who works in the NHS disapproves and says they are less effective hence my caution. |

4 hours in the queue, but pleased to say everything worked perfectly fine. Managed to secure 2 £95 tickets for Tuesday 12th Jan in the Dress Circle, Row K. I would have preferred something closer, but I must remember how intimate the London theatres are compared to somewhere like the Edinburgh Playhouse! Now we just need to cross everything that these shows will go ahead!

Left the queue open, went out to the shops, done my things and came home to see I'm now 989.
Will give it a try if I get in!

I can’t find anything anywhere. £165 premium, £95 top price, £65 mid, then between £20 - £45 for the 'lower' end. Unfortunately, as I only wanted two tickets and by the time I got through the queue, my options were limited - there were far better options if I was looking for 3 or 4 tickets. Out of curiosity, I had a look through most of the Tuesday and Saturday matinee shows for John's performances, and most of the stalls and circle seats were gone. However, the Upper Circle still had good availability. Good luck, everyone! |

I’m still only at 4733 in the queue but it helps to know the prices. |

Ended up leaving this. No seats I wanted, will just look out for returns nearer the time. With this being extended also gives me some hope.
No stalls seats for any performance what so ever! Royal Circle only seemed to have groups of 4's left, but Grand Circle had a good mix.
Can't believe Cams charging £70 for Grand Circle! WOW!

5 hours later and I'm in, as I suspected nothing left that I want. Will check again another day.

Priority tickets now sold out. 4.5 hours later. I got 2 for 23rd December. But there was literally nothing left. Do you think DMT kept some back for General sale tomorrow, or they put everything they had on sale at once? |

Hmmm, I think I’ll pass then. £70 for seats so far away you can’t see the casts faces doesn’t appeal I'm going for the songs and voices, you're not seeing a full west end show, it's a concert, so although production will be there, it'll be very stripped back I'd imagine. So seeing faces not necessarily a big thing (imo of course). |

It is semi staged at best. There really is very little need to see it other than the gorgeous projections.

I'm sure there will be more tomorrow and they have kept some back for general sale plus rumour of more dates. |

No single seats left on the days I can do so left it for now. Hopefully I can find one closer the time.
