[Pharaoh's number 2]

Yes but that one "small" (£2) booking fee is per ticket, unlike ATG's (£2.50 inc postage) which is per order.

I have booked to see Irishmaan and Peter & Alice. I think the small booking fee is well worth paying considering who I am going to see. Looking forward to two special trips to London next year!

Have only just stumbled across this and realised what I was missing, fortunately Latecomer has stepped in as rescued me, thank you! Almost having heart palpations when i saw who was involved.

Will be a pleasure to share it with you! Dream team here we come!

Anyway folks, book up! I'm most looking forward to Judi Dench... is it a bit cheesy to say I've been waiting my whole life to see her on stage?

Not at all, the thing that got me going to the theatre was that I had 2 people I really wanted to see on stage, Judi Dench and Ian Mckellen, so in fear that he might never do stage again (I wasn't very clued up) my first trip was to see Mckellen in Alladin at the Old Vic. He got me hooked and I haven't stopped going since. I've seen Judi Dench twice and both in plays I probably wouldn't have gone to see if she wasn't in them, and whilst it was frankly embarressing when the person next to me clapped her first entrance (unless it's a medical miracle no one should get clapped for merely walking onto a stage) I admit I had goose bumps and she didn't disappoint. Enjoy when we get there!

Thanks so much for the heads up, Pharaoh's number 2 - I might not have spotted this in time otherwise!  I booked all five successfully, a mixture of back row stalls and back row Royal Circle, and had no problems with getting the multi-buy discount.

I did end up getting an extra seat for A Midsummer's Night's Dream, as the system wouldn't let me leave one seat on its own, so if anyone wants to join me on the back row of the stalls for the evening performance on Monday, November 11th, 2013(!!!), the seat is yours for a tenner!   Just PM me.

And in case anyone's booked the same dates and wants to say hi on the night, I've got all evening performances:
Privates on Parade: Weds Feb 6
Peter and Alice: Sat April 13
The Cripple of Inishmaan: Weds Aug 7
A Midsummer Night's Dream: Weds Nov 11
Henry V: Weds Dec 11

You ticket holders are all lucky so-and-sos!  Not living in London, I couldn't possibly plan these shows this far in advance!

I'm in Oxford! The way I see it even if you book and end up not being able to make the date it is £50 for 5 shows!!!!! And I reckon it will be easy to find someone else nearer the time who would like a £10 bargain if you can't make it! What's the worst that can happen....you make 3 of the 5 shows say....still much cheaper than usual! For better seats. It is great for us oldies as we don't qualify for the under25 tickets and I find day seating a pain as I am out of London. Take a chance JonnBoy, live dangerously! (And then feel free to make me feel bad when it all goes hideously wrong and you end up working abroad next year!!!)

I just wish I'd booked a date or two that matched your dates!  We'll have to coordinate something again soon!
