Unfortunately most of the front row circle are the £1250 tickets. Mine is the last one without a bar in the way and I'm honestly surprised it wasn't that much too, but it sets me back £250. Oh well, my birthday is coming! Edit to clarify: Dress circle. But I was hoping these seats would be a band lower than they were. Oh well, only live once and all that jazz. You’re going to be sat next to some seriously wealthy people. Dress up and no swearing! 😀 |

Is there anything outside of the upper circle at the £75 or £125 price points?

Anyone struggling who was queueing before 11am - reopen the link from the email in an incognito window and see if it helps. My window that was open before 11am is still queueing, but I reopened in incognito and got straight in. Front row circle (almost end of row) snagged. I didn't need incognito but opened on my spare phone and got right in. I prefer central so out of the £75 tickets I've gone rear grand circle rather than the sides for the same price. |

Bit of a word of hope for anyone who doesn't manage it at this point - there looked to be a massive block of the stalls not on sale yet (didn't look much elsewhere as in a rush to get a ticket) so they've held some back.

Got mine. Started at 125 in the queue, got through after about 12 minutes and got two mid-row, row M in the stalls for £250 each. Annoyingly there were three in row C but it wouldn't let me buy two of them and leave the unfilled seat. As if they would find that unable to sell! Happy to pay that much on this occasion.
Seemed to be a batch of gold seats in the middle of the front row of the stalls, and about 4 or 5 complete rows in the middle stalls. Not sure what was on sale in the front as there were only the three left when I got online. Didn't look at other areas of the theatre.
Good luck everybody in the later releases!

In normal circumstances there's an easy way round the "can't buy two out of three" restrictions but it wouldn't work where there's a queue. I would have grabbed one of those three in a nanosecond ! |

No link for me either but I'm on the 12.0 clock release when all the tickets will probably have gone!

You’d have had no trouble offloading the third one to someone if you’d bought it. Although I can imagine there was a lump in your throat at £500 let alone £750! 🥺 |

Dress up and no swearing! 😀 If its anything like any of the other top/tier seating that goes for productions like these, they usually end up as comps & special guests. I brought tickets once in the premium area for a big anniversary show and ended up sat with a lot the original creatives. |

I'm just not ever going to be willing to pay over £2 a minute to go to the theatre with my partner. Congratulations to those who have booked - I am sure you will have a smashing time, but those prices make me genuinely nervous for the future of our theatres.

It's daft as it needs 1 person to buy 1 ticket and then someone to buy the other 3, or 3 people to buy one each. |

Guess I'll just have to wait I bought it for the Les Mis (socially distanced all-star) concerts. Then lost my tickets to covid. Still loved the non-all-star version but got no benefit from the purchase! Glad I finally have. Good luck for the general on-sale |

THE QUEUE IS PAUSED??? Wtf. It says tickets are still available continue to wait though. I'm actually in the seating plan now - don't ask me how, I accidentally clicked the link again when closing the email and it let me in. Looks like all of the initial release (other than £1250 tickets) are gone now. I suspect they've paused the queue while waiting for the release of another batch of tickets at 12. I'd recommend staying in the queue in that window and then opening the link again (via an incognito window or mobile) bang on 12 for best chances.  |

Waited and waited watched all the tickets got sold apart from the gold tickets. Then suddenly a few pairs appeared in Row B of Grand Circle so GRABBED them! Know it won't be the best view but glad to be part of what should be a special night!

Got into the site. Safari app screwed me over. Clicked the date and nothing would pop up. Then the site kicked me out. Love that for me!
