Yep, I too managed to grab me a ticket of under £30, Row seat 3 for Sunday 1st July.
If anyone’s there, feel free to say hello.

Remember folks, you’re not allowed to post anything negative on Twitter about the booking situation.

Crazy. They have probably only sold about half the tickets across the entire run and make this announcement all over social media like it’s a brilliant thing they are doing for people who missed out. Ridiculous marketing it does appear to have been quite a messy announcement/booking what with the social media controversies. Perhaps this was to combat the backlash of people not being able to get a ticket? (Although they sold lots of tickets i didnt think it was a sell out) But this does seem like a good point to make. If I had forked out more money than I wanted to to then only a week later hear theyre releasing more tickets at an affordable price, id be annoyed! I certainly am. I do this embarrassingly stupid thing every so often when I want to see a show a lot more than my friends. I’ll get the tickets and will lie about the cost, as I know they would never come otherwise. Then they pay me and I subsidise the difference.

I’ll tell my other half that I had a discount code. I usually don’t!

I missed the hoopla over this last week...but £75 tickets? is Carrie going to personally shout at me on twitter after for that?!!! Join me as I patiently wait for those £75 tickets to go on sale at a discounted rate on TodayTix (or perhaps at an even more heavily discounted rate at TKTS, etc.) While I wholeheartedly wish The Other Palace and any other venue and/or producer willing to take a risk with a piece of contemporary MT every success, I am not quite convinced that Ms Fletcher alone can sell a whole run. And while I appreciate that many devoted "Hopefuls" have bought multiple ones of the cheaper tickets to ensure that they can go bow before their muse again and again, I am even less convinced that the presence of Ms Fletcher in a show can justify a ticket price in the same range as the pairing of Rosalie Craig and Patti Lupone directed by Marianne Elliott. I'll be happy to be proved wrong, but I'm quite confident cheaper tickets will become available at some point or other...

When I looked early this morning, having missed the cheaper ticket boat first time round, the lowest price I could find was £37.50 and only for a couple of dates, so I don't know how it is that others managed to find any at £25 around that time - but great for those who did. However, for me £25 would have been quite a risk for an unknown quantity so I shall wait for reviews and, as MoreLife says above, possible discounts on the higher prices.

There's still the odd £29.50 seat/s for a few performances, or at least there were around half an hour ago when I looked

He isn't a 'name' like the rest of them but I'm thrilled for Christopher Chung who I know from the days when I was an extra on Waterloo Road, he played one of the pupils in it when it was filming in Scotland. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

I’ve just gone onto the website and got myself a ticket for this, restricted view but it was under £30 so worth a punt I thought! I loved the film as a teenager, haven’t heard the music at all but sometimes I prefer that.

Is Paul Taylor Mills resigning because of lack of success? What’s gone on today?

I'm in London with a friend at end of July for Fun Home so just tried to book tickets for this for the evening. Shocked that they are £65 & £75! Looks like we will be seeing a different show!

We got in early with the cheaper tickets for next week but I’ve just shelled out £65 so my son can come on the same night. I have a feeling that it will be worth every penny.
