How when presale isn’t until Wednesday? I got an email with a priority booking link this morning because I had several tickets cancelled before. Just booked myself a ticket for November. Honestly I have no idea if I’ll be able to attend but I just had to risk it. I hope everything works out because I can’t wait to see this again!

Gold star for stevejohnson678. ⭐ With 170 miles between them, let's hope nobody confuses one Lyric Theatre with the other!

Just booked. No way to choose your seat unfortunately or see which seats they've removed, only to select the number of seats and the price point (£25 to £65 on the dates I checked). But the whole booking process is very smooth. How when presale isn’t until Wednesday? I got sent two presale links directly from the Arts Theatre. One as a previous customer, one as I have an upcoming booking that won’t happen. Like many shows now, there are multiple levels of presales.

If anyone fancied sending me the presale link I'd be very pleased!

This is wonderful news. Not only will I be kickstarting my theatre habit once again, but it is via a venue I’ve long wanted to tick off the list!

Thanks, booked! Fingers crossed we don't all get locked down again!

I keep being offered Stalls Row O seat 3 for £24.95. Is this seat decent?
Can't wait to actually see this show properly from a decent seat.
First time I saw it my seat was fantastic but it got stopped 5 minutes in... Second time my seat was terrible Third time Covid cancelled!

lightinthedarkness I‘ve booked the same seat. According to theatremonkeys page it’s right behind a pillar and marked red. But since there will be no other patrons next to me due to social distancing I hope to be able to lean to the side enough to look around it. It was an impulse booking and I have no idea if I can really go so I chose the cheapest option. I’ve only seem the show from the front row before so I think I can live with one bad seat... 😉

I keep being offered Stalls Row O seat 3 for £24.95. Is this seat decent? There's a pillar which looks to be on Row N. From O2, it blocks the extreme left of the stage, and from O3 it blocks the extreme right.

I’ve impulsively booked reopening night (not sure if that is the technical term but the first performance). I was so excited to see the roadshow version before that was stolen from us. I am so happy Nimax are helping make this happen!!!

For the Lyric run they will be physically removing (not just not selling) every other row of seats - so lots of legroom and easy access to seats. Then whichever seat/s you book - the seats either side will be automatically taken off-sale - so you'll have no one directly in front, behind or next to you - which gives much more flexibility than preidentifying which are single, double etc.

Thanks when I checked I had the email too so I’m booked for opening night.

Booked, central stalls. If theres space on all four sides I’ll be happy as larry. Better get used to my contacts though cos I’m not steaming up for ninety minutes.

Not booked, but their algorithm must fill from the centre outwards - every day I looked at it offered me seats bang in the middle.
(Sorry, I have a weird geeky interest in booking systems and seat allocations!)

Thought it was rather patronising seeing some of the cast on the news yesterday saying that SiX opening proves shows can be done. Sure, if you can live on a fraction of your usual box office income, of course they can be done! You’re not proving anything.

It’s just a concert at the end of the day so hardly proof of a rebirth of theatre, but it is the green shoots of a new beginning in this murky darkness. Let’s just take the positivity where we can.

I'm obviously very special! TodayTix has just sent me a notification for access to its 'exclusive' 24 hour pre-sale, only 4 days after TheatreBoard's own pre-sale...and the tickets cost more for the privilege.
Incidentally, should anyone wish to select their own seats, rather than have them allocated, it's now possible via the link on Page 95.

With reports or another lockdown on the horizon, I wonder how the producers/Nimax are feeling right now, with their first show due to open next month.

Hopefully they’ll use it as an opportunity to show the government what can be done safely, protecting audience and cast at the same time whilst still bringing in money. Creating turnover is what they’re going for even if it isn’t profitable turnover. If an outbreak occurs an element will be locked down. I think this is how we need to proceed if we’re ever to get our lives back. Live with it, not die from it (and that isn’t meant glibly, just the only practical solution we have without a vaccine.).
