Just picked up a couple of non-premium Stalls tickets for Sat 24th, some availability on other days but most look crazy expensive - I saw one pair for 175ea.... Look like they put odds and ends on sale between 10 and midday. Anyway, 10 brownie points for me  |

Honestly, it could go on for hours like that... I don't think anything this hypothetical BB has ever done has gone on for hours...unless it involved food. 😉 |

Hopefully a more accessible venue to Manchester CC will be announced. Currently the Stockport or Altrincham showings are a bit out the way for me.

Saw this last night - absolutely incredible stuff! Only a shame its so short.
PWB is just amazing, how she can do that herself for an hour is amazing, she had the audience in stitches. She was also so kind and lovely at stage door.
Standing tickets were worth it for anyone wondering, I missed out on the stalls ones and was up in the balcony and they were fine!
They are numbered weirdly though, from the side in so those later got the middle where I got the side. I just risked it and went for the middle anyway and no one moved me!

Do you have any advice on what time someone would need to join the queue in order to have a chance at getting a standing ticket? |

Do you have any advice on what time someone would need to join the queue in order to have a chance at getting a standing ticket? I got there at 7:10 and was 15 (of 33) in the queue. A lot of people came between then and 8 but the queue wasn't full until 8:30! The guy on the door seems to think it'll get worse, especially at weekends so aiming for around 7 should be fine. |

I agree, I arrived on the first day at 9:00, and missed out on the tickets by about six people. When I tried again yesterday I arrived around half seven and was number 18, and got allocated a ticket standing in the balcony. There were roughly twenty of us there, so I assume the stalls had the remaining 13.
The show itself is incredible, with Phoebe having us eating out of her hands throughout. The running time meant that standing was actually no problem at all, if anyone is wondering. For £10 it was an absolute bargain, but is said upthread, I would anticipate queues to start earlier and fill quicker throughout the run. Day one the queue began at 5:00, yesterday it began at 3:30.

Does anyone know if there’s a returns policy for this given that it’s sold out? I can’t make it anymore but can’t find any details regarding returns.

^Just contact the theatre, they'll help. As for day standing, 5.05am, 9th in line from one report today, 40 at 7.40am, meaning that at least 7 of those will be disappointed, so 7am probably. That’s an extraordinary difference already since yesterday, as I feared. Fortunately though today’s two show day will definitely go in the favour of those who aren’t in the first 33 this morning. If you are hoping to queue for day seats then I’d suggest as early as possible by the looks of it! |

Out of interest how many were at stage door? Was she allowing photos? |

Out of interest how many were at stage door? Was she allowing photos? Quite a lot - at a guess maybe 50? I wasn't going to bother but I got out quite fast and managed to get on the barrier. She went down then back up with the door manager asking for those who'd been done to move so those further back could get in. You could either get an autograph or a selfie I got a selfie! |

There isn’t an entertainment in existence that would have me standing in a queue at 5am.
Loads of Manchester cinemas screening it live on Sept 12th now,with several encore showings after.

How long before she came out? 10 - 15 minutes at the most, definitely wasn't a long wait. Pretty excited for the NT live recording now to see it again! |

I find the popularity of this absolutely fascinating. She did a run of the show AFTER the first series had been on TV. It was at Soho Theatre and I don't recall it being that difficult to get a ticket. It just shows how popular the second TV series was.

The pre tv show run at soho theatre sold well but was easy enough to get tickets for
The post first series shows all sold out in about 30 minutes or less though for the soho theatre. Was a short ( 3 week) run

Surprised to see The Sun take the moral high ground, especially as it is part of an organisation that hacks a dead child's phone.

Well they've changed their tune. I remember when the HBO/BBC series Rome started they actually published a minute-by-minute guide to the sex scenes, so their readers could watch the football on the other side without missing any boobs.
I am shocked by the language though. No c***s?
