Labour of Love - directed by Jeremy Herrin

All booked for this. I too succumbed to the single seat saga, that blighter of a popup really does cement one's lone ranger status doesn't it. So, on a Thursday whim, I bought both seats, I'm sure I'll persuade mother to clear her schedule before I can say "yes, her from Happy Valley".

Not sure the view would be up to much from rear stalls, would rather have rear dress.

redRose - did you book earlier? I can only see two £10 seats together in the back row of the dress circle, whichever matinee I try - the ones in the rest of the row appear not to be on sale? (The rest of the row is on sale in the stalls though, which is why I could potentially buy one there if I wanted to.)

To be honest, that's another reason I'm holding off booking a seat. Sick and tired of politics on my social media feeds, especially the memes from the more lunatic fringe of the Labour party. Do I want to subject myself to potentially more polemic, even if I do only have to pay £10 for the privilege...? Will sleep on it.

It is a puzzle re the pairs of £10 seats at the rear of the Dress Circle but most of us trying to book just one of these seem to have encountered the "must book both" issue so maybe it was the fact that RedRose was booking on an iPad which made the difference. I don't have one of those or indeed anything Apple-related so I did as several others have done and simply booked the pair.

I did check the seat reviews first or I wouldn't have risked it but they were all so favourable; plus this play sounds right up OH's street so it's quite likely he would wish to join me and if not, as others have also said, it shouldn't be hard to dispose of a pair - indeed, this board sounds a good place to do so. Only snag was that I'd've preferred a Saturday matinee but until the new season's football fixtures are published, OH won't commit to anything at weekends so I went for a Wednesday matinee and will have to hope there isn't a distant away game that evening.

Easy. Gone for £10 slightly restricted view in Grand Circle. Gives me a double-bill of political comedy in that I'm seeing Young Marx in the afternoon. Busy year for James Graham, then, with Ink at the Almeida very soon. I loved House, was disappointed with the surveillance one at the Donmar (felt cheated by the reveal at the end) and haven't seen anything else recent of his. I still think a new play in the West End is a risk - and would have thought this might have been one for Hytner.

Well, that was a faff. Mobile only offered stalls or the inside seat in dress circle - had to pull the old 'put one ticket in the basket, then buy the one I actually want on another device' trick...

Thanks for the heads up that booking had gone live early. I've booked two rear stalls, nothing in the dress circle for £10 for the date I wanted, but should be fine.

I've taken row V in the stalls based on the idea that TheatreMonkey is fine with row U, and if I'm in row V then I can sit on my coat 'cos there'll be no one behind me to block.

Thanks for the mobile single-seat booking tip - this morning I managed to book one of the singles presumably left dangling by one of the mobile device booking peeps, but very good to know for future reference.

I think it was the last 2 on either end of Row H in the Dress that was only available. I am a DMT+ member and went on as soon as they were available late last night and EVERY date only had those 4 available so I am not sure if they are planning to release the other seats in that row at a later date or at a different price sometime? Those exact seats for EVERY performance can't have sold in advance.

I wondered if that might be the case, yes. I'm an aisle seat or nothing person, so knew I had to get in fast! If people aren't so bothered about that then there will definitely be bargains to be had nearer the time.
