I'm assuming the Nimax site has crashed, for 2 hours I was 38619, and in the last 15 minutes I has gone done to 34324

Got Stall B10 from ATG. Does anyone know if I can see most of the stage from this seat? I'm thinking if not I can get another seat. I was in B14 last week and it was a great view. You have to sit upright to see the floor but for the most part I couldn't fault it. Thank you! I'm 5'11, so what you think about the legroom? |

Any opinions from people who have sat in D8 Dress Circle? Don't know if it's helpful, but I sat in E4 last time (so a bit further along, sort of on the curve of the dress) and the view was absolutely fine. Close enough for facial expressions, no overhangs in the way, not so close you can see how the magic is done (as others who sat front stalls have commented). I'd happily have sat there again if that's what the system had spat out at me, put it that way. |

When you reach the last 1000 of the Nimax queue, it starts moving rather fast.
Plenty of availability. I was offered Stalls E26 for two performances I checked, perfect seat (albeit a bit to the side).

GUYS!!!
PLease stop with the "is my seats good" comments - there are various sites for that, plus any seat in most theatres is good.
You get what you pay for! Balcony high and far, back of stalls overhang, front row of stalls you need to look up etc!
STOP IT!

Mind you, my initial thought was to tell those people asking to stop it and just be grateful they have tickets at all! |

Is it just me or has the ATG queue just... stopped?
"The event has ended
The Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I & II event has ended, and the queue is now closed."

Meanwhile I'm sitting here thinking "The production will still be there in a year or two but the queues won't be".
I never understood the people queuing for ages outside shops to buy the books at midnight either, when you could buy them a few hours later without the queue and without being too exhausted to enjoy them.

Nimax queue seems to be moving 100 places per minute. By my calculation I shall be on a train home when I get to the front of the queue which is rather annoying!

My guess is that ATG sold out much quicker, because they handled far more orders at the same time (based on the speed of the queues). Good luck everyone who's still in the Nimax queue!

154,000 people still in the Nimax queue. Good. Lord. Never underestimate the power of Potter.
The £200 notes I've shelled out for my Potter crazy niece I'd normally get about 8 or 9 shows for that - its madness but its not for me and this will be a once in a lifetime experience for her.
She better be picking me a good care home now!!!

I never understood the people queuing for ages outside shops to buy the books at midnight either, when you could buy them a few hours later without the queue and without being too exhausted to enjoy them. It's probably so they can claim they are the first people to read it when in reality, it's the publisher who has read it. It's the same for people to go to the iPhone launches. My brother got tickets through the Nimax queue so clearly people have been successful. I think ATG's website can handle the volume of the Potter tickets since they handle 100s of venues whereas Nimax only has six theatres so likely the server are taking a beating |

My niece is still at the Peppa Pig theatre show age, but I'm reasonably confident Potter will still be running when she's old enough for that. I will start saving now, I think... |

Friend just got tickets for her chose day in August next year through Nimax, so still plenty of tickets to be had. Queue has grown to 180,000 mind.

Argh got to the front of the Nimax queue but was in a (pointless) meeting and by the time I got back my queue number had expired! Still at 66,000 on another Nimax window and 169,000 when I refreshed the expired one...
I know it's not something that could ever be policed, but I do wish they'd been able to prevent people who've already been from buying tickets before everyone who hasn't yet seen it has got one. It's not particularly fair if one person's seen it multiple times when others are desperate to get their hands on some tickets (I think the same about other phenomenons like Hamilton). Either that, or do a day seat line rather than a lottery that at least rewards the dedicated rather than the lucky, or prevent a successful winner from entering the Friday Forty for a certain period of time after their win to give the rest of us a chance!
