Today Tix presale price a lot higher this time. I think I paid £10 for band A Fun Home and the Inheritance, but that price only seems to be for the under 25 now (and that was long time ago for me!)
Do we think it’s worth going Band A? It’s such a small theatre.

Do we think it’s worth going Band A? It’s such a small theatre. Probably if you want a good seat. The cheap ones can be lot luck Only reason I haven't done it through the young Vic this time is because I think it'll be very busy on Monday for salesman. The other I'll get later

Band A Fun Home in the TodayTix presale was £43, I still have my confirmation email Just checked and I went Zone C for that and it was £10. I remember thinking the seats were great, i’m Surprised they were zone c. Am now slightly annoyed i’ve gone Zone A this time around.

Remember it may not be the same seating layout as Fun Home where pretty much every seat was face on with hardly any restricted views

The Young Vic has been known to wildly vary its layout, but I have *never* had a bad seat for my zone D £10 no matter what they've done this time.

Only downside of zone D is you might end up in the seats at the top with no legroom. But generally the view from everywhere is great whatever the layout and the distribution of zones often seems a bit random.

I caved and did Todaytix for Death of a Salesman just to save myself the scrum. Taking the Mother so didn't go for the cheapest cheap, but if I book a return trip I probably will. Never had a bad view in the YV, only a bad draft during The Inheritance.

Nearly as good as when our local butchers had a problem with his till and put up a notice asking customers to “please bare with us” I am chuckling as we speak!

Ok I'm blanking as to what's 'hilarious' let me guess some 'hysterical' grammar error that proves how clever you are and how stupid I am?

I'm not a grammarian but I don't see anything "wrong" with the post, it's informal as hell but so is 98% of this board. Is it the draft that's reading as "wrong", 'cos I've definitely sat in cold and breezy seats at the YV before...?

The ongoing Americanism of English, Draft means both an early form of a document and a cold breeze in America, in English we have two spellings with draught for the cold breeze which looks wrong but is correct as in draught excluder.
Not particularly funny and quite obtuse.

Honestly draft/draught is not really a word that comes up much in day to day use so I'd never given the difference much thought. But yes, that is how I'd automatically spell it, no it wasn't autocorrect. Sorry we aren't all PERFECT like some people, but I'm glad for the HILARITY a fairly obscure not actually error caused. My GOD it must be HILARIOUS living in perfect grammar land.

@emicardiff being a writer you could have been working on your book at the time and was not particularly happy with it when you got home, as in life context is everything and interpretation is all.

Ok I am now clearly as thick as the original poster thinks I am because I am throughly confused by what you're saying there? Also remember that thing I said above about not being a dick...why is that so hard?

@emicardiff Sorry, was not trying to offend, as a writer working on a draft is a legitimate process which you most probably do regularly.
Therefore a bad draft is not unexpected (assumption) and both interpretations are valid even though one is extremely unlikely.

I wasn’t trying to offend either...honestly! In fact I thought it was quite funny as you write...so draft was rather an appropriate. Sorry! I am terrible at spelling and very poorly educated when it comes to grammar (I went to a very progressive 1970s school where they never taught any spelling) so people are always correcting me...and I don’t take offence...so sorry if I came over as being superior, wasn’t my intention

Fairly painless booking, half an hour queue and got £20 ticket for Death of a Salesman. Not booked for anything else as it's too far in the future

If you're thinking about seeing Tree, it looks like the majority of tickets will be standing and will cost £35 (I'm picturing Here Lies Love all over again) so if you like to sit or get the cheapest tickets, then don't dawdle booking that one.

I was looking at 'Tree,' Baemax and ended up not booking for it because (am I right?) all tickets were £35 and everything downstairs standing?

There were definitely cheaper seated tickets available than that, but not huge numbers. The website says the price range is "£10, £30, £35, £40" so I think the seats were £40, £30, and £10, and I think you're right that the seats are all going to be upstairs and downstairs is going to be just standing spaces for £35.

Totally forgot about public booking opening, but just managed to get through the queue in a few minutes and easily picked up a ticket for Death of a Salesman. Loads of availability on every date I looked at.

I booked for a couple of the cheaper, short run plays but it's so far ahead I think I'll wait for the rest until the seat plans/cast are up.

I managed to get cheap tickets for all productions on sale (and a ticket for Spring Awakening). Now I will go and ask for a mortgage because by savings were depleted...

The Manchester run is at the Upper Campfield Market, so that doesn't surprise me. The Jane Horrocks thing at MIF in 2017 was nearly all standing tickets - there were just a few seats pre-bookable for people with access issues.

I think the £10 tickets for 'Tree' are for those people 25 and under.
Got through easily and booked for 'Blood Wedding', 'Fairview' and 'Ivan and the Dogs'. Wasn't interested in 'Death of a Salesman' so left that one for you all to fight over.
You're welcome.

Erm, gonna stick my oar in to say I thought it might've been an intentional pun on first glance - I remember you having some issues with The Inheritance, and given this board's general tendency towards groan-worthy puns...

Nope, there are £10 tickets for that age group in all areas, but there's also "Seated Zone C" for £10 with no age restrictions. I got through the queue really quickly and most of the dates I looked at were already saying "only X number of tickets left!" for that option, so I would be frankly astonished if there were more than a dozen available per performance.
