Can't even get onto the queue, just a Bad Gateway page. It always makes me laugh that in 2024 theatres can't put procedures in place to make their website work when they know demand will be this high. I agree. It's not difficult to farm out queue management to a third party like Queue It, with one unique token given in advance to each eligible buyer, so that people (like me!) can't game the system with multiple queue entries. This gives you full control of the inflow of users to your website, and you can restrict capacity to whatever is manageable. Ten minutes in, and my queue position has not changed. |

Completed, but some of the pages took minutes to load.
I got a very lucky queue position of 156, which is not bad considering I'm on my phone in Albania right now and only had one shot rather than the multiple ones I usually do from a desktop.
Looks like front stalls is £65, rear £85. The £25 seats appeared to be tucked away in the corners of the balcony.

I see the queue is around 2,200 long now. I hope everyone gets sorted.

Very pleased, got two of the green £25 seats in the upper circle.

It looks like the gallery seating is not on-sale at this point - this is obviously high up (the third of three balconies), but after the last refurb is not bad as nose-bleed seats go!

Eventually booked very quickly after the page unfroze, was surprised with plenty of availability.

I tried to book from 13:00 while at the Royal Court waiting for the 13:30 start of Giant! It didn't happen, although I managed to get through and book during the 15 minute interval 1.25 hours later!
Whew!
But what an odd time/day to choose to open booking for what they knew would be hugely popular.
