In Topic: Best Place To Buy Tickets

04 February 2013 - 04:32 PM

And if you need a few tickets then groupline or seetickets will do best seats at the group discount price. Having said that they are normally allocated the worst best seats if you know what I mean. But usually around £20 to £30 cheaper than face value. Imagine there are 4 of you -  It is sometimes worth buying a group of 10 tickets, Use the 4 for yourselves and flog the others. They will have the rrp price on them so selling them at the price you paid will make any buyer think they have a great deal ! And you have got your money back !
Best when this is a sought after show or you can end up with tickets and no buyer. Just be careful. They can be sold through stubhub.co.uk
Good Luck

MrBarnaby is clearly the rudest person around. I wonder if he is as rude if we were face to face rather than here. You thesps should clearly lighten up a bit.

With Harry Hill as the creative mind behind it just might be brilliant. But who knows.
The very best musicals have a story, humour and great songs.
Very few have all 3.
This has a story that we know works (not that different from 42nd Street really).
Harry Hill will surely give us humour and even a bit slap sticky humour too.
All good to here.
So do they get someone to write new songs.
Or create a jukebox musical.
Well lets wait and see.
I recall being initially upset that Billy Elliot was not using T Rex songs like in the film.
But Elton did a good job with a couple of rousing proper musical type songs.
We shall see.

In Topic: Group Ticket Prices - Heading North Fast - For Poor Seats

Of course you also get a good perspective of how a show is doing.
Currently I can get best seats for Billy Elliot for under £30.
And blimey Phantom now there for £27.50 that is cheap. Maybe they are beginning to struggle to fill those seats.

Some of you lot are a bit touchy whether you are a snob or have 'taste'. You carry on writing off new ideas before they see the light of day. I suppose you are the same lot who think Sondheim is wonderful and blame the Joe Public for having 'no taste' when it closes pretty quickly.
No doubt you said Oh no when you heard that something was opening based on ABBA. Or a show based on a book of children's poetry about moggies. And how can you tunr a great masterpiece of a book about the poor in France into a show. Come on guys give them a chance - you never know you just might enjoy it.
I speak as Mr Joe Public who wants to leave a theatre with a smile on my face and humming some great tunes. And I can imagine an X Factor musical possibly being pretty funny. Of course Peter Kay may already have done it.
