Same.
Didn’t expect this to sell out to this extent so fast. Quite amazing, and at the crazy prices

Very glad I got tix the day they went on sale. I just had a gut feeling this one was going to sell out fast. I just did a quick search and there are still some single dress circle tix available if anyone wants to snap them up for a better view than the awful balcony.

Loads of crap ones left- no thanks A certain number of tickets will always be held off general sale until closer to the official opening - and possibly beyond. It's standard practice. Expect further tickets to be made available for sale at different points over the next two months.

any other word if they'd extend by a week - sounds like a festive season must see I have a sneaking suspicion that it will

For anyone wondering if they might have to cave in and pay top whack for this, ATG have just released premium stalls and dress circle seats for £180 (or £195 on weekends) for October and November performances. No sign of any additional rows being added yet but I guess it's a little early for that.

Yes, I noticed this earlier too. Fingers crossed for those extra rows and cancellations. Wishing I’d just stumped up the cash when it first went on sale now!

I don't believe it's completely sold out. They producers just want to create FOMO people who haven't booked

Looks like standing tickets at the back of the Royal have just been added, for £20.

Someone's ears must've been burning! Annoyingly those last couple of weeks of Oct aren't great for me but bodes well for more seats being released for November too.
Can anyone say whether standing at the back of the Royal Circle is any good?

Can anyone say whether standing at the back of the Royal Circle is any good? I stood on the Balcony for Betrayal and Royal Circle for Prima Facie and both were fine. Checking, each was £15 + fees is a bit much for a standing ticket but for both of those it was the only way I could see it. I'd do it again if I had to.

I find there is such a lack of transparency with booking ATG's West End shows. Sold Out but actually, not really, prices going up every 5 minutes etc. It's exhausting!

The standing tickets are numbered on the booking site, so do you stand on a 'numbered spot' or is it first come, first served? (Just conscious there's the pillars to contend with up there!)

Did the standing for A Little Life - I don't remember the numbered spot, I think it's like the Donmar where you just pick a spot on arrival.
Won't be buying a standing until we know how long it is though!

Haha - that thought also crossed my mind Being Alive. And thanks for explaining about the 'spot' - guess it's get there early then (which unfortunately means more standing time!).
ATG have now added additional tickets across Nov and Dec too - right through to end of the run. Although of course some are at prices that'd feed me for a month :-(

(Just conscious there's the pillars to contend with up there!) Prima Facie - absolutely no issue with the view. It was excellent. Betrayal, there were some captions projected fairly high which from what I can recall I had to guess slightly. It was a timeline and in context I could make them out but I couldn't read them fully - if that makes sense? As to a numbered spot, I honestly don't recall. I had booked a central spot each time and I arrived early and made sure I was standing in my chosen spot. I don't know if people around also took their spots or just went first come first served

I'm not sure I'm up to standing for that long these days. Nice to see more tickets being released but the whole sales tactics are becoming very cynical. Does anyone know what the closest row to the stage is that has been released so far?
