I've gone practically nowhere in an hour and a half of queuing. By my reckoning I might get in to try for tickets in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Has anyone waited this long in a queue before, I am trying to remember? I think it was when Harry Potter went on sale I was in the queue and forgot but then hours later I went back to it and got tickets.

My man has moved slightly. If that progress is accurate, I will reach the front of the queue in 20 hours lollll

No more than 40% here at present, I fear.

I wonder how many people can actually access the website at the same time? Varies between zero and one ? Given it's a relatively short run and not a high capacity auditorium and they haven't released all the seats anyway any competent ticketing system would have sold out within 30 minutes. Finally got in after 2:20, same running time as the play, and there is still loads of availability.

I finally got through, too - still lots of availability in all categories indeed, so just keep hanging in there.

Same, plenty of the cheaper tickets left, presumably due to how slow the booking process is.

Smooth as you like once through the gate, but the queuing .. shambles. Obv. doing all the venues at once.
As above, plenty left: stay with.

Does my one know the dates for London? I’m seeing if I can actually fit this in, but as everyone has said, the queue is going nowhere

Looks like it's only London and Edinburgh at the moment.

Yes, you get there in the end. I was waiting three hours, then it goes fairly quickly. Scary moment of two when you get in and no dates are showing - says none available but click on refresh and it should come up. Need to put postcode in with bank card details too - easily overlooked. Got 4 at £50 each. Lots of reasonably priced seats available.

Still don't know why the website is Macbeththeshow.com. Are we expecting Macbeth on Ice? Macbeth the Musical?

I assumed all this emphasising of the warehouse location would mean it would be a promenade production or a combination seats/promenade like at the Bridge but it turns out to be just seats. So I'm not quite sure what the point of the warehouse "site-specific" setting is ?

He looks like he's just got back from corporate bonding on the 3 Peaks Challenge, during which she took the opportunity for an assignation with brother Joseph. He looks so controlled by Lady Macbeth (his mouth is slack, his forehead furrowed as if in confusion, she's physically dominating him and he could be leaning away from her) I wondered if there's going to be an element of early dementia in his characterization.

Here's info received about access and directions after purchasing. They don't really give details on which train lines or bus routes and saying 'contact the bus company' sounds like boilerplate rather than giving TfL-specific contact info:
Dock X London, Canada Water Retail park, Surrey Quays, SE16 2XU - Get Directions
Getting Here By Train: Dock X is easily accessible from Central London, Canada Water and Surrey Quays stations are a short walk away.
Getting Here By Bus: Buses run scheduled services from central London with multiple stops just a short walk from the venue. Please contact the bus company for timetable details.
Getting Here By Car: If you are driving to Dock X there are a number of public car parks located just a short walk away from the venue.
Accessibility: Dock X is an accessible venue with a step-free entrance and accessible bathroom facilities. Please let us know of any access requirements ahead of your arrival at the venue so we can best facilitate your visit to the venue. To find out more about the access tickets service please email access@underbelly.co.uk.

Elizabeth Line into Whitechapel and then three stops south on the Overground (to Canada Water) will suit many. Jubilee Line is a bit gruelling in comparison.

If anyone hasn't been able to book yet, I've just tried again now and there was no queue and taken straight to the booking page. Looks like great availability still

This really was ridiculous. I was in the queue for over three hours. All fine when I eventually got through but no idea why it took so long. Finally bagged my ticket though.
Turning out to be a great week in London next March (Macbeth, Long Day's Journey, Dorian Gray and can hopefully add on Sky's Edge and Hadestown).

I've just tried now and showing as completely sold out I just checked and there is still loads of availability. You need to try various combinations of the BACK button (top left) and screen refreshes and it will eventually work.

Got tix, got the "no performances found, may be sold out" error but back and forward in browser brought up list of performances. Website really flaky, struggled to get the seat-picker to work. Top price premium £150, I went for back stalls at £70, seems to be laid out as a thrust stage, cheapest tix £15 midweek. Awful website and I was getting pretty frustrated but after reading your advice I got it to work - thanks! Even when it did work it was tricky trying to select seats on a mobile. It was like a website from the 90's.

I just booked and there was lots of availability at various prices, but it took a few minutes of refreshing and re-trying. I was suprised this hadn't sold out already - short run, great cast, reasonable prices. I'd prefer more than 2 hours notice that tickets will be on sale, and would have queued if I hadn't failed to notice the email yesterday, but I'm glad I didn't as there's plenty of availability and no queues today.

Couldn't get it to work on phone , but eventually got it up on my laptop after about 6 tries. Agree it's an awful booking site - even trying to register took me 3 goes before it worked.

In prior posts and in earlier announcements, I'd seen the dates for this in London to be 10 Feb - 23 March. Looking at the ticket site, I am only seeing a calendar for February. Are others seeing the same? No March dates?

Are others seeing the same? No March dates? Just click on the arrow (right of FEB 2024) to bring up March dates macbeththeshow.com/events/london/Hmmm, I have no arrow. Will try a different browser. Thanks for confirming the March dates do exist.
