83 on one laptop, 1664 for the other.
Got one Q35 ticket and restricted view Row C dress circle ticket for a Friday night for £20 each.
However credit card payment is really playing up. Tried all my cards and then returned to the first and it went through. Keep trying - it does eventually work. I was afraid it might lock me out but I tried four times on one card before it went through.

It took me maybe a dozen attempts to get card to accept so ditto keep trying. Just panicked and clicked on first ticket I saw.

I'm certainly moving through the queue, but my estimated arrival time keeps changing. I'm also trying to get through on the phone, but this aggressively jolly song (is it from The Lorax?) combined with the way it disconnects every few minutes might prove to be my undoing. Hopefully any card issues will sort themselves by the time I get anywhere...

The queue appears frozen in time, meanwhile the Young Vic one is fair cantering along.

Well, I was 388 with a 28-minute wait. Got to the front, redirected to what I thought would be the seat plan and got this instead:
Hugely disappointing from the Old Vic

Well I'm still in the same place in the queue so it's clearly slightly insane, meanwhile in at the Young Vic but have the little circle going round and round to get to my basket. Unfathomable joy

Done! It accepted my card first time, that's both Vics booked and accounted for, and I still have 3 minutes before lunch!

Unfathomable joy I literally just put the phone down after a perfect call with the Young Vic - straight through on the phone. |

If I don't want to spend more than £30 for a ticket, am I better off waiting for day seats?

Mine hasn't but guess could be bit of a backlog. Peggs, I've had my emailed confirmation but not my e-ticket. I think on busy days that can take some time. Congrats, Baemax - an efficient morning's work. |

It said on the booking confirmation page (not the confirmation email) that the e-tickets would be sent about 7 days before the performance. Odd given that usually they come through straight away.

Remarkably I got Q35 for the only day I could go. Was sure I'd be priced out of this one (at least in terms of what I wanted to pay given it's a London day trip for me).

My position in the queue is unaltered after an hour and a quarter (3604) and I have supposedly another hour before I am graced with admission to the site. I am gracefully bowing out. In other news Young Vic sorted!

After a 75 minute wait I got a restricted view Dress Circle for £40 (B9). I am sure I have paid less for this seat in the past. Can anyone let me know if this should be cheaper and I should contact the box office?
I ask because curiously the seat next to B9 is shown in blue and is £65, yet if I look a few seats in to B12 which is also shown in blue this show a price of £90. Rows D and E show in green and are £55 except that the inner row D seats, still in green, show £65. Makes me think there may be something wrong with their web pricing setup.
After securing my ticket I had a browse around and there seems to be a lot of availability for the several dates I looked at.

The seats I chose were 16 in the past and are now 20 |

Q35 sorted. straight through on the phone, id recommend that. Perhaps I'm confused; when I had a look on TodayTix it looked as if this was being performed in the round i.e. the stage is in a different location? |

Although I was rather quickly on the side, was 78 in the line, someone was a tiny bit quicker with that seat on the only day I can do. So I took my usual restricted view seat in the dress circle again. |

But the configuration on the Old Vic Site looks different from that on Today Tix. (Rows E, F and G) |

Can anyone who's managed to book for this clear something up for me please?
My estimated waiting time is coming down, but my number in the queue has stayed at 4858 since I joined. Did this happen with you too? Or has something gone wrong?
Isn't the queue number supposed to fall as you get nearer to your turn?
