Not unexpected, but very welcome news. Missed it first time around.

I was one of the few who just didn't get on with this. Happy for those who loved it, but I shan't venture to EC2Y any time soon.

Skipped it last time but I'll catch it on the next run for sure.
Is it suitable for a seven-year-old?

Excellent news! But I don't envy the costs a family would likely need to cough up, especially now that it's a proven success.

We just booked for December (I'm a Barbican member). Tickets appear to be selling fast (various tiers of Barbican membership and RSC membership had access to sales last week). Prices range from £25 to £140. As a guide the tickets I bought for £72.50 last time are now £92.50. It's an expensive night out for a family but we, at least, know we loved it last time. There are various concessions, including £25 day seats and what are called TikTok tickets for £10 for those aged 14-25, but no sign of any previews. Hope that helps theatrelover123 |

Not a member but hoping they'll be plenty of seats still when it goes on public sale. Expected it to be pricey, but not willing to miss it this time after hesitating last time and then being unable to get a ticket!

Oh thanks. On TodayTix now too. I think each price bracket is a couple of quid more on Seat Plan |

Picked up a £32.50 ticket at the back of the stalls for this in December, courtesy of the TodayTix presale. The view on Seatplan looks pretty decent with little to no overhang.
Looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about!

Looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about! Thanks for this tip. I've just booked a couple of back of the stalls tickets for February for this very reasonable price. The row in front is £92!! |

Looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about! I saw it from the very back row of the stalls - nothing at all to worry about with overhang  |

£85 seats on Barbican site are £98 each via Todaytix pre-sale ;( Equivalent jumps for other price bands too Guess there's a price to pay to get in first and without having to pay for membership though  |

Thanks for the heads up. I have just managed to snag a couple of the back-row stalls tickets at £32.50 too. It was a block of three, so needed to hold one on SeatPlan in order to buy the other two on TodayTix.
There was no mention at any point, even in the confirmation email, that I have paid more than face value. My previous booking directly with the Barbican incurred a £3.00 booking fee (per transaction and not per ticket) which was not charged via TodayTix.
What is the face value of the cheapest price band booking directly? I can see "from £25" mentioned, so I guess I have been stung for a £7.50 per ticket "fee" less the Barbican transaction fee. I wouldn't have minded that, had it been disclosed.

I am stunned that my AA 1 seat in the circle is now £69 (the TodayTix price)- I paid £29.50 back in May last year. Glad to have already seen it!

Tempted by E24 and E25 in Stalls (fairly middle). To those who have seen the show (or more generally frequented the Barbican) is Row E generally OK? I have checked Seatplan and there seems to be generally good feedback but good to open it wider.

Row E will be good. I sat in row D seat 22 by the aisle for the Cheek by Jowl on Sunday and it was just the perfect view.
