We should really all contact the Donmar with critiques of the new booking system. It's new, they'll be open to changing it, and if hardened ticket booking veterans such as ourselves are having issues using it, then it clearly needs refining, especially if they want to continue encouraging newcomers through the doors.

Thanks again one and all for your help. Managed to have a look at all dates this morning on my work desktop. Sadly though all sold out. 2 Circle tickets for sale on 13th March. |

The Klaxon tickets are supposed to be being released 'mid-February' so any time now?

I thought I saw a comment on Twitter that said 20th February I definitely saw a Donmar tweet today saying so, i.e. next Monday. But will there be any system for how many seats, where and at which prices, since they've said it will no longer work as Front Row did? |

Anyone else trying for Claxon tickets? Yes, in a pre-queue, waiting to be assigned a random place |

That was easy enough! Although to be fair my queue number started at Number 3!
Got two 10 tickets for Sat 11th!

I only looked on the Saturday night. THere was 4x£40 stalls tickets and in the circle there were about 4 at £30, 8 at £20 and about 8 at £10.

Wonder why I'm still in a queue and hasn't just shown all gone then? Probably less people on today as it's a new thing, unless we were all testing it to see how it worked.

Out of interest did the booking start at 10am and is it a simple matter of entering the website and you instantly join the queue?
I haven't received any details via email about the Klaxon booking, even though I signed up to receive emails. I only knew that the booking was probably happening today

I clicked in to the website at 11.59. When the queue started I was allocated number 67. Took 13 minutes for me to get to the front but I got the two seats that I wanted. Looking forward to it since at the time of the Limehouse Declaration I was a political engaged 17 year old living half a mile away in Stepney. I remember we were all very impressed that someone as posh as David Owen was living close by (these were the days before much of the East End was gentrified!)

And here's me have never even heard of the Limehouse Declaration (better do some research!) but my Dad is down in a few weeks and he was really keen to see it. |

Well when I got in it just took me to the website like it looks on every other day, didn't say sold out, though presumably was from Polly1's experience. Have tried some of theatre monkey's techniques but whilst can now pick an individual date to check availability can't get it to show it for all the run, it won't highlight the whole run and there is no availability button for the first option.
Well done for those who succeeded, goodness knows what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you Polly1, yes a friend did this and get similar response, I feel better now that it's not just me that can't work the website!

Is this another website redesign that's worse than the original? I'm beginning to think I could make a packet on consultancy fees ;-)
Unfortunately I've just started a new job where I can't spend much time on the internet (indeed, it actively tries to block me using this site at lunchtimes!) so I'm too late to hear about tickets today. Have signed up for KLAXON but don't fancy my chances of being able to buy on my phone, given the problems everyone else has had with those awful overlays...

There's a £40 single available on the website for the April 6th Matinee if anyone wants to run and claim it! (alas, I can't go to weekday matinees, nor can I afford £40)

Have signed up for KLAXON but don't fancy my chances of being able to buy on my phone, given the problems everyone else has had with those awful overlays... I found the same, i.e. it wasn't broken, but they've sure as hell fixed it! The time change for the ticket release (from 10 am for Front Row to 12 noon for Klaxon - and why the stupid name? - is it like calling day seats "rush tickets"?) might have helped some, but not me, as it's still a Monday, which is one of my volunteering days, when like you, jeanhunt, I can't do personal stuff online or by phone. I did try when I had an official break but too late - not only did I then find myself in a queue but one they had apparently "paused" due to technical issues. Later I could see still tix available but not at prices I was willing to pay, so I may have to give up on this one. |

it like calling day seats "rush tickets"?) Blame the Americans for that one - it's just a transatlantic imported name. Please don't say that too loudly or the NT may hear you and rename their day seats as "rush seats" to complement their full year of American work in the Lyttelton Theatre, which they'll probably rename the Lyttelton Theater. |

Just looked at the Donmar Warehouse website, it says that there are 'limited availability' for tickets, however when I click on the seating plan it shows no seats are available.
Have I missed anything?
