Does anyone know if there’s a returns policy for this given that it’s sold out? I can’t make it anymore but can’t find any details regarding returns.

^Just contact the theatre, they'll help. As for day standing, 5.05am, 9th in line from one report today, 40 at 7.40am, meaning that at least 7 of those will be disappointed, so 7am probably. That’s an extraordinary difference already since yesterday, as I feared. Fortunately though today’s two show day will definitely go in the favour of those who aren’t in the first 33 this morning. If you are hoping to queue for day seats then I’d suggest as early as possible by the looks of it!

Saw this last night - absolutely incredible stuff! Only a shame its so short. PWB is just amazing, how she can do that herself for an hour is amazing, she had the audience in stitches. She was also so kind and lovely at stage door. Standing tickets were worth it for anyone wondering, I missed out on the stalls ones and was up in the balcony and they were fine! They are numbered weirdly though, from the side in so those later got the middle where I got the side. I just risked it and went for the middle anyway and no one moved me! Out of interest how many were at stage door? Was she allowing photos?

She went down then back up with the door manager asking for those who'd been done to move so those further back could get in. You could either get an autograph or a selfie I got a selfie!

There isn’t an entertainment in existence that would have me standing in a queue at 5am.
Loads of Manchester cinemas screening it live on Sept 12th now,with several encore showings after.

How long before she came out? 10 - 15 minutes at the most, definitely wasn't a long wait. Pretty excited for the NT live recording now to see it again!

I find the popularity of this absolutely fascinating. She did a run of the show AFTER the first series had been on TV. It was at Soho Theatre and I don't recall it being that difficult to get a ticket. It just shows how popular the second TV series was.

Not always very high value in terms of ticket yield or donations

Shock news from The Sun. Hopefully they will be offering refunds for people affected by this

The pre tv show run at soho theatre sold well but was easy enough to get tickets for
The post first series shows all sold out in about 30 minutes or less though for the soho theatre. Was a short ( 3 week) run

Surprised to see The Sun take the moral high ground, especially as it is part of an organisation that hacks a dead child's phone.

Well they've changed their tune. I remember when the HBO/BBC series Rome started they actually published a minute-by-minute guide to the sex scenes, so their readers could watch the football on the other side without missing any boobs.
I am shocked by the language though. No c***s?

A series written by men that gives other men the opportunity to objectify women however, well then... that’s just peachy.

She was predictably great last night, wasn't able to see previous runs but it almost felt too easy - audience lapped it up.
No-show seats were filled from the standers - we were in the back row with seats on the outside aisle and were just lurking around our seats. With 5 mins to go, we sat down, a couple drifted into our vacated space against the wall and within 2 mins they were given a pair in the middle of the front row - argh!!!
Nice to see a show that has been expanded for tv in its original form, makes you really appreciate the consistency and quality of the writing.

Saw that too...seemed a lot of noise near the end..did someone get kicked out?

Bank holiday Monday and a hot day predicted. I’m 15th in the queue at 6:30. The queue started 2 hours ago so I’m told. I think my extra 2 hours in bed was worth it!

So far the most aggressive begging has been “I hope you get your tickets and can you spare some change”. But I suppose 15 of us is an army.

Next people arrived at 7am. So 7am looks like a “safe” time to arrive.
Update. About 30 people by 7:30.

With 32 degrees predicted and a bank holiday I’m hoping for many no shows tonight.

I feel almost glad that I could easily book a ticket for the cinema screening here Though at 20 Euro, that's more expensive than seeing the lady LIVE in London

Timing must have been on my side.

Never seen "Fleabag" on TV, deliberately, as I wanted to encounter the play first - never got to it at Soho. So: it's an interesting piece of writing. Phoebe Waller-Bridge isn't the greatest writer nor the greatest actor, but as a combination of the two she is very, very special, I think. I found some of it dated in the #metoo era, and some of it incredibly callous any normal person would call a vet instantly, surely? but it was very human too. 4 stars from me, and I'm going to buy the DVD of the TV series, I think. Or watch both series on Iplayer? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p070npjv/fleabag

Phoebe Waller Bridge is a genius. That’s all I have to say on the matter.

I’m not sure this is the right place for this post but Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be signing copies of Fleabag: The Special Edition at Waterstones, Piccadilly today at 2pm.
