Day seats confusion

Post by SolidarityForever »

Alright, I am free on Friday night and want to go see the show. So I thought, there must be some nice seating opportunities with day seats. And I think there are but I read somewhere, not on the official website though, that you have to pay by credit or debit card? Can't you pay in cash? :shock:
Also, does the VPT open at 10:00 or can you buy tickets from 10:00? And in either case, is there usually a long queue? Will I be able to get a good seat (front row, I hope) when I get there at 10?

Haha sorry for being such a noob! I've never done this before! :)

What does day seats mean?

Why not look on the website and see if there are any seats you want, and book online? I know it's cutting it a bit fine with the post, but you can collect from the box office on the day,

As far as I know day seats are usually cheaper and there are great seats available ;)

Oh that's interesting, if you do get day seats let us know how much cheaper it is? Next time I go to that London I might just swing by rather than book in advance.

I looked on the website and there is a fair amount of seats still available, which I spose is to be expected on a termtime weekday.

day seats on weekdays are £20,70, on weekends £28.

box office opens at 10.00am, but queuing usually starts an hour earlier, but it's not that busy so you got a fair chance for front row tickets.

the row B tickets you can book online are of the same price by the way.

and yes, you can only pay via credit card for dayseats.

hope this helps!

Row A Stalls seats are only available by joining the day queue. But as Terpsichore says, row B seats, which are the same price, are available online. However, if there are no B seats available in advance, trying for an A seat on the day can be worthwhile.
