So me and my friend have just sold out tickets to the closing night. In complete truth, alongside train issues and stuff, after 42nd Street closing, I just can't do another closing so soon and I'm still emotionally exhausted after last Saturday I can't do that again. So pathetic. Our tickets literally sold in minutes of us putting them on sale, so clearly there are fans who still need cheap tickets! I'm not surprised you sold them so quick, I've seen so many people online looking for tickets, and I definitely wouldn't be shelling out £200 for a ticket! Luckily I bought mine minutes after they announced the closing at a 'bargain' £69. It's not that I don't want to be there, and I'm sure everyone will have a fabulous time. This time around though, I'm just not feeling it, and I wouldn't want to sit there and feel meh whilst there are people out there dying to go. I love the show, always will do of course, but this one ima have to give a miss.

Are the chances of winning the lottery on a Friday night low or high?? Also, do they give unsold other seats to people who didn’t win the lottery?

Chances I'd imagine will be fairly slim as all the fans will be entering. In my experience, the lottery is strictly front row however they have offered best available if you lose, but I doubt that will happen now. Dayseats tend to also help people out with alternatives if the front row sells out.

I've been entering all week and they haven't done the band a ticket offer for lottery losers. Luckily I got my sister to day seat today (she was 5th in line at 7.30).

Just looking though, there’s lots of unsold seats for tomorrow night. Wouldn’t be able to dayseat though. Do they sell unsold tickets for a cheap price later on during the day or only in the morning with the dayseat queue?

Sometimes if you don't win the lottery they offer band a tickets for losers for £28 - but they haven't been doing it this week.

In my experience (bear in mind some may of had a different experience!), I've only ever gotten a cheaper seat when in the dayseat line. I've tried later in the day when there are loads of seats left and they've still asked for full price.

I’ve only ever known them to discount tickets if you’re stood in the dayseat queue. Especially now we’re into the final few shows I highly doubt they’ll start selling them cheaper. Lottery used to offer you band a for £28 but they haven’t had that offer since Christmas as far more seats have been selling in advance at regular price.

I have noticed some tickets for the final show popping up, but all at £200 a seat. There is now just five tickets left for the final show (1 in the Dress, 4 in the Stalls), so they are milking the fans for all they're worth.

Does anyone know of anything special that may happen at the end of the final show ? One of the super fans on twitter who goes all the time and 'knows' some of the cast seems to be dropping hints that something may happen that's worth being excited about, although doesn't say what it is.

It won’t be much. Speeches, and maybe a balloon drop.

Well we already know about the filming, the tour etc, so I'm not getting excited it will be anything more than speech and some confetti. I imagine the exciting part will be the attendance of Jerry, Harvey and Cyndi.

Thanks for the help everyone! Does dynamic pricing still work for this show? I’m just looking and there’s still quite a few seats in the stalls and dress circle for tonight’s show?? Seems weird if they don’t try and sell them? Would love to get a ticket for tonight but, as I’ve seen it a few times before, trying to find a cheap deal! What time shall I look on the website for dynamic pricing?

Jordan really is rocking it right now, what a great opportunity for him to get another final show the night before closing! I do wonder if Oliver Tompsett is that ill, he may option to skip the matinee tomorrow so he can pull off the final performance?

He is off for the matinee tomorrow but back for the evening......unless anything changes between now and then as he doesn't feel up to two show.

Thrilled for Jordan getting a final show on the final day. He is the best understudy in London and has been since he became first cover Charlie, and in my opinion, he should of taken over when David left, but I'm thrilled therefore that he will get a proper final performance on the last day.

Natalie McQueen will sadly not be performing in the final two shows. Suzie McAdams will perform in her place. 😢

You could tell Oliver was a little bit off on Thurs (didn't do big note in soul of a man and generally looked a bit ill) but he still was v.v.good! But Natalie seemed ok

I'm curious to know if it got crazy or if it was a tame one I did, I arrived at 9.45 not expecting much, at least I thought I'd be able to get a discounted ticket for the matinee but I didn't :/ Cheapest was £67 restricted stalls. It was not really crazy, and after the front row day seats finished they sold some discounted tix for the matinee, but they were really limited. At least we got Kinky cupcakes

On the night that Kinky Bots opened I was outside the theatre. Today, I stood outside the theatre as the crowds entered for the final matinee.
I've seen the show several times.
I felt like, although not actually in the audience, that being there at the beginning and now the end that I had done a full journey .

Between this, 42nd Street and Dreamgirls all closing, the West End is suddenly losing lots of glitz and glamour.

Simon broke down near the end of Not My Fathers Son, he had to speak rather than sing some of it and then right at his last part before Oliver joins in, he sobbed and had to pause for about 10 seconds, not a dry eye in the house! The cast also added in a few little extra funny bits that gave most of the crowd a laugh.
One of the best nights I've had in a theatre.
