I can't help but notice that they're holding fewer £15 front stalls seats back for public sale in the Lyttelton than they used to, and apparently none at all in the Olivier anymore. I got exactly what I wanted for Hansard and Master Harold, but a bit disappointed with my Secret River ticket. Still, at least I already saw Translations.

Restricted in lyttleton is normally seat width and lack of rake, normally ok unless you get a tall person.

Yes that's what I found last time, so for me where I can't afford more expensive and can't see at back of circle in Olivier it means not going. Am looking at small island reviews sadly for this reason. |

I got a £15 ticket for Top Girls on the last day of its run, but there was nothing else on offer that I would be willing to more than that for, so gave everything else a miss.

Got a £15 aisle seat for Rutherford, having missed out on the first booking period, so I’m happy about that. Tried for Hansard but £15 availability was poor so I’m holding off again til next time round. Nothing else grabbed me, really.

I like a decent seat in the hope of having a transformative experience.. but I was surprised at how much I had to pay for Hansard tix. Not exactly the 'the theatre of the people' is it?

I took one look at the prices for Hansard and immediately decided that one will have to wait for Friday Rush or day seats.
I did however grab a £15 for Translations, which I'm rather pleased about as I missed it the first time. And Friday Rush for Follies, so it has still been a productive day.

I definitely didn't see this Master Harold and the boys cheap tickets during membership booking so I am glad they keep them back for public booking.
It has got so expensive now. I'm having to spend upwards of £32 and not enough shows have Young Patron Club Nights with free wine to make it worth it.

Hmmm the only reason I'm a member though is to try and get those £15 front row tickets. If they're holding most back for public booking I'll just quit. I don't know if that's what the majority of members are doing, presumably it's a calculated decision by the Nash.

They are really NOT holding most of them back for public booking, if you're not one of the first few in the queue, you're NOT going to get them.

I'm intrigued that Anna (Dorfman) sold out seemingly in a flash, perhaps even before today.

Last I heard, they were only selling front-facing seats, so that's a helluva lot of side-facing seats not on sale (which will either stay off-sale because of the audio technology involved, or will suddenly all come on-sale just before the run opens when they've figured out how to make them work). I get you might want to put your experimental stuff in the smallest theatre, but considering just how many seats in the Dorfman are side-facing, it begins to feel like a really dumb idea...

For anyone still interested in Anna, it's worth intermittently keeping an eye out on the NT website during office hours. Tickets are very limited (even for the Dorfman), but returns do go up occasionally. I just swapped some tickets for some returns that popped up, and there were some other seats online last week.

Seats available for Anna - 3-4 seats only for a few nights. All are £25. I can't make the dates, good luck.

The Antipodes page is now online, as is the one for Inua Ellam's adapatation of Three Sisters (albeit both pages are still locked to the public). This should mean that an announcement for the next sales period should be coming soon (usually about a week in the past I think).
Nothing yet though for Richard Pryor On Fire though. Not sure whether that means that the page is still being finalised, or it's going to be in a later sales period. |

In the past the ticket sale pages for each date went up around now too, so you could see all performance dates, but I haven’t found any yet. |
