Has anyone signed up?
What will you be watching first?
I logged on before starting work this morning, and started where it all began, Steamboat Willie.

I really don't think it'll be the big films getting released on streaming services. The ones we have seen so far were already at the cinema and had their run interrupted. It makes sense for those films like Onward and Harley Quinn to release on streaming because they have already had some sort of theatrical run.
A lot of licensing contracts are based on box office figures so if the films don't get released in cinemas they will attract a much lower license fee. So it isn't just the money from the ticket sales themselves that will have an effect, there are longer term impacts.

Everything at the Mayflower is cancelled/postponed until the 24th May (the day before my birthday). This includes my tickets for Once on the 23rd which I got for my birthday last year :C

I'm wondering if this will apply if you make bookings now and they are subsequently cancelled? {Spoiler - click to view} Might be a good opportunity to get a guaranteed 10% boost on future TodayTix bookings

Not an offer per se, but when booking my seats on todaytix this week I found out that it now works on PC, not just the app. Found this really useful in seeing which would offer me the best tickets as you can't select your own. Held the max number of tickets in a row in the first offering it was giving me on browser so my phone was forced to give me something else which I liked better.
I've always used multiple phones before so this makes things a bit easier!

Just had a little spree:
£15 ticket for myself for the Wedding Singer tomorrow. £15 tickets for me and a friend for Jamie in a few weeks. She's been desperate to go for ages so I'm treating her as a belated Birthday present. £45 stalls tickets for me and my parents to Only Fools and Horses in March.

Got to the theatre around 6.15 last night, but no luck. Cheapest was £70.
The TKTS booth does have discounted tickets, but by the time we got there all they had left was single seats for £60.
We went out for dinner instead and have booked £35 seats for next week.

Is there any point asking at the theatre for any last minute discounted tickets? Keep an eye for "dynamic pricing" online at the website. Beyond that, people on here do try at other shows - asking the very last moment before it starts. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. School of Rock has usually been good for this in the past so we might chance it and if we can't then go out to dinner and book for next week instead.

Is there any point asking at the theatre for any last minute discounted tickets? A friend and I were planning on getting last minute tickets Wednesday evening, but if there is no chance we'll look to book ahead on a date with more availability. I was aiming to get to the theatre around 6pm.
There are over 100 tickets left for Wednesday currently...

Might have come across better if the Doctor had had a better response to Graham talking about his fears. Or any response really!

Watched on the tube home yesterday and agree it felt disjointed. I thought we were going to get the Doctor having an adventure on her own, not really sure what the point in dropping the others off only to pick them back up again straight away.
It really felt like two separate episodes were half formed and then mashed together. Not sure the point of even having the Aleppo part? What did it add?

He's categorically said that he hasn't been forced into making the announcement, but how true that is...

Disney has a bunch of brands for releasing various types of content under. Even more so now that the Fox acquisition has completed. Touchstone was a Disney brand, so technically Con-Air is a Disney film, and Nicolas Cage is definitely a Disney Princess. Lol. That's true they have lots of different brands to release it under. It probably says a lot about me, but when I hear 'Disney' and 'musical', I just think of "High School Musical", "Mary Poppins" and "Beauty and the Beast". And Disneyland. 😂 That's the whole point of the different brands. So that we don't associate those films with the wholesome Disney. I don't get why we still have separation between Disney Animation and Pixar, from a branding perspective, but Disney, Marvel, 20th Century Studios etc are all distinctly branded for their respective target markets.

After 1h45 I got in and managed to get tickets for the day I wanted. There wasn't the greatest selection left in the stalls so I opted for the dress circle.

Has the last performance sold out? Is it likely any further tickets will be released? Producers are holding all tickets back from general sale, they have an invite list and once everyone replies and tickets have been allocated they will release any available tickets. Box office don’t know when or even if there’ll be any tickets left to sell Thanks, A friend of mine suggested we go as she hasn't seen it, so I suggested we try for the last one. I think we'll plan on that weekend and see if anything gets released nearer the time, and if not go to one on Saturday.

I actually enjoyed The Hustle, but I got what I wanted from it. A mindless easy watch before bed. It had its moments and thought the cast were good. I did wonder if US audiences would have 'got' Hannah Waddinghams Essex girls though. I also think a more serious approach on the story could be interesting agree, Klaus I'd brilliant and should win the oscar. So nice to see 2d animation back I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I have grown up with and absolutely love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (my parents saw it on their first date), and enjoyed reliving the story, however I didn't appreciate a lot of the changes they made and don't generally enjoy Rebel Wilson. Given the choice I would definitely watch DRS, but I would watch this again. Interestingly I found out that DRS is itself a remake, though I haven't managed to watch the original "Bedtime Story" yet.

To give an idea of pricing for previews. Will try and get on a full price performance. This has taken the best part of 4 hours.

I've been in the site for almost 2 hours at this point and have yet to be presented with any tickets.
It's showing all of the march dates as sold out now.

Had this problem with LW theatres for booking Bastille at the Palladium the other week. Their site just can't handle any kind of demand.
I have my phone open too in case I have better luck on 4g rather than wifi, but no joy either way so far.
I guess it is safe to say there has been the demand for it!

Been in the queue since 10. Have gotten in now. Was able to select a date, but am waiting for seating chart to load. It's been whirring for a good ten mins.

Oh too bad I didn't get any of these emails If anyone signed up for the Priority Booking and is not going to use his/her link, please let me know! If you're on O2, their booking period is earlier, and you can just access this through the O2 priority app. They won't have the first 3 previews on sale as they have been reserved for the Disney priority booking. I think I'm going to aim for the first preview as we've already seen the show in NY, and then we can return when hopefully I get an offer through work.

Sorry, didn't want to read back 144 pages and couldn't really remember: was Joseph available at TKTS at any point last year? How much? Will it (also) end up there at this year's run? Thanks Don't think it will be on TKTS if it sells like last time. They ended up not doing day seats because it was sold out at full price.
