I too am very confused by the prices of N15 and N7...make no sense! Plus why would you buy N15 when on the plan it is clearly behind a pillar! You would surely choose a non pillar seat for 49.50! Had to run and check my N15 ticket but definitely has 10 pounds written on it!

Absolutely, on one of my visits to N7 I was sitting next to someone who initially thought N7 was her seat and was most indignant that she'd paid full whack to sit behind a pillar.

If you booked within the first few days that they went on sale then I think some prices have changed since then. I got a front stalls student seat for £20 but that option has apparently now gone.

darn it, should have been quicker off the mark, £49.50 is one pricey ticket but don't really fancy life behind a pillar, are as many seats as badly effected as the seating plan suggests? Seems a bit limiting for a theatre.

There are 2 pairs of seats in row O which are a tenner.... similar view to row N. May have to hold one seat in a different browser to get around the single seat issue.

Same- I have my tix in hand but I hope they're still valid!

Is there day seats for this?

I expect you're joking but, in case some people think you're seriously concerned, perhaps it's worth repeating here that this is an example of dynamic pricing where the theatre continually reviews and adjusts its pricing structure so as to optimise both box office income and the number of tickets sold.

Why would it not just optimise (maximise) box office income ? Could they care less about number of tickets sold ?

More tickets sold means more sales of programmes and refreshments, etc. and more buzz and wider word of mouth leading to more future sales.
