WOS Awards Concert Sells Out on Valentine’s Day

All public tickets for the Winners’ Concert of our TENTH ANNUAL Whatsonstage.com Awards next Sunday 14 February 2010 the West End’s 1200-seat Prince of Wales Theatre are now completely sold out! Clearly, it’s a very popular way to spend Valentine’s Day!

Though 2010 marks the tenth year of the Awards themselves, it is only the third year of the Awards Concert, at which the winners are announced and trophies presented in front of a live audience of theatregoer voters. The first two years also sold out on the night, but this is the first time that the event has completely sold out in advance.

Once our nominees guest list is finalised, we are hoping to release a handful of top-price £42.50 reserve tickets on Friday 12 February. If you’d like to be alerted as soon as these are put on sale, please click here join the waiting list!
