If you ring and book seats at the Old Vic and request front row, you will not be given front row, even though you are told that is what you are getting! The front row is given to under 25's although you are not informed of this at the time. Also as time goes on, further rows are added - in front of the front row! Thus by the time you arrive for your performance you are actually 4 rows from the front. I have complained about this to the manager of the ticket office only to be told there is nothing can be done. I should know by now as this is the 3rd time this has happend to me. Its pointless ringing on the day the tickets are released as the extra rows are not available at this time. Its just pot luck if you actually get the seat you thought you had purchased.
