Only 8 shows pre-booked. As I'm about to be made redundant they could be the last for a while :-( Sorry to hear this, and hope that your theatre bookings are soon able to resume.
I usually manage two shows a month - have to take the cost of travel into account as well. Like Tom89 I tend to book as soon as things come out, but have overpaid on a couple of occasions lately, so now I am saving some space for either tickets that have reduced or things that come up at short notice - often the case as I like the smaller theatres that have short runs.
At the moment I have tickets for:
Hand to God X People, Places and Things An Enemy of The People (Chichester) This House (Chichester) Torn When Father Comes Back From the War Little Shop of Horrors (Birmingham) Side Show
I don't drink or smoke or go abroad, theatre and films are the main way I like to spend my spare money! Oh, and my two dogs who seem to be very expensive at the moment.

Currently none, but by the end of the weekend I'll have booked at least 4 shows on Broadway (The Color Purple, Eclipsed, Wicked and another TBC).
Then when I get back and sort the finances I'll definitely be booking Dreamgirls, An American in Paris, The Bodyguard (out of curiosity as I like the casting and have never seen it), Aladdin, In the Heights, Groundhog Day, Show Boat, Beautiful (still haven't seen it!) and Lady Day, as well as dayseating for Funny Girl.

Not really someone that books miles ahead and something could happen and the theatre will say, didn't you was our T&C's. Even when I wnt to New York I have gone out there without booking any tickets, all you are doing is paying a fortune for booking fees.
So all I have in advance is;
Sunset Boulevard (last show, booked on Saturday)
Groundhog Day
Will try to get a Richard III ticket at the Almedia.

I currently have 47 shows booked, this includes 22 ballet and dance, 13 in London, 10 in Stratford, the rest in Birmingham. Some of these are ballets on a subscription. I book in advance because I like certain parts of the theatre which are likely to sell out if I don't book early. With London theatres day seats are no use as I can't get there early enough and I like to get the best cheap seats I can.

I don't think i have ever had any more than two shows booked at one time. I have a list of shows that I'm definitely intending to go to but generally don't book them all up. Currently i only have one show booked which is The Play That Goes Wrong next month, but there are shows i'll probably see before then as well. I'm just not very good at booking and then when i get round to it i end up kicking myself as there aren't tickets available or the seats i want for the dates i want. Which is happening to me now with Aladdin. I even signed up for the pre sale for that then never too advantage of it.

Only 8 shows pre-booked. As I'm about to be made redundant they could be the last for a while :-( You have my sympathy! I hope you find something soon. In 2013, I was at risk of being made redundant and I had shows at the RSC booked. I made sure that I had a bit of cash to pay for the coach and train tickets so I could go to them.
To answer the original poster's question... I'm booked for The Alchemist and Cymbeline at the RSC for the summer, and the Harry Potter plays and No Man's Land for November. Apart from those, it will be the theatre cinema screenings (Hamlet-live from the RSC, Romeo and Juliet & The Entertainer-KB theatre live). |

Oops, 83 things booked. I don't normally count since it makes me feel like I might be a tad insane.
1 musical
3 concerts
7 plays
14 operas
58 ballet/dance
I'm very fussy about where I sit (or more to the point, stand), hence the early booking
