Hi,

I'm heading to London in July/August this year and am on a budget.

What shows do day seats for non students/pensioners...

I know Sister Act has front row on day for 25 pounds but do any other musical currently running or opening do that?

I saw on Oliver website they have day seats but no info?? Wicked used to do it as well.

Any info is much appreciated? Any plays do it as well?


Cheers

For musicals:

Sister Act - £25 front row dayseats
Wicked - £25 front row dayseats
Grease - £20 front row dayseats
Sweet Charity will do £20 front row dayseats
Avenue Q front row sells at £20 in advance
Jersey Boys does front row in advance for £20, but note it is classed as restricted view.
Les Mis do front row in advance for £20, again classed as restricted view.
Billy Elliot sells seats at the front at a big discount in advance. These seats are actually quite good but would avoid Row A. The dress circle slips are the dayseats but I wouldn't recommend they looked like quite a restricted side on view.
Legally Blonde have the ticket lottery, all down to luck on that one.

For plays:
Enron: Front row stalls £25
Anything at the Donmar: £15 dayseats
Anything at the National: £10 dayseats

Thanks for info.

Does Oliver do it?

Of those shows really only Sister Act and maybe Sweet Charity. I've sat front row at Billy years ago when it first opened and it wasn't too bad for the price.

Oliver do student tickets midweek but no dayseats as far as im aware, although you might get lucky and find it on TKTS.

Billy day seats are no longer front row, they are dress circle slips.

Is oliver not starting day seats at the change of nancys? or was that just a rumour?

[Allie]

They are coming but whether it'll be organised in time for the swap over I'm not sure. I get upset thinking of people camping at Drury Lane    It's a beautiful theatre.\

Oliver Students are Mon-Thurs only, and they will only accept NUS cards I'm told

£19.50 is the midweek price. They are all £27.50 on Friday/Saturdays except the very back row of the upper circle.

Thinking  seeing les mis tommorow, what time do the day seats go on sale, and is there normally a big que?

[monkeycarter89]

We went to see Les Mis on a whim about an hour or so before the show and got the front row restricted seats for what is...£10?

Never seen a que forming before.
