Can't they just do a draw at a particular date for the people who weren't chosen in the first batch and offer them the chance to buy the rest of the tickets? They should have just put all of the tickets at the same price. Anyone with any knowledge of theatre would have known that it's obvious that lots of people would enter the ballot to get the cheap seats. It is a fundraising event after all. £15 isn't going to buy RADA very much. God knows what the bar prices are - £15 for a tin of Coke |

They might not be so keen if I try to blend in by pretending to be a RADA old boy and go round talking to people in an extremely loud Noel Coward or Tod Slaughter voice 😝 |

Ah, RADA are saying it's now sold out other than Under-25s tickets, so presumably since they asked people if they wanted those they can target their ballot a bit more effectively to get the last few of those sold.

It's now sold out!
Presumably they didn't pull enough U25 ballots to start with...you'd expect them to sell first!

It is someone's lucky day. I had two friends that both wanted to see this and are sadly not free so have a spare ticket for this Friday. It is an under 25 ticket but do pm me if interested and happy for someone else to go and sorry if I do not reply as I already know I will be bombarded with messages.

I'm assuming you found someone to go with you tomorrow night! Looking forward to reading your thoughts on it. So far all we know is that the running time is 3 hours.

Re: The RADA bar, unless they change prices for the benefit (which wouldn't surprise me) it's actually a fairly cheap bar, that the students and staff frequent.
Signed, someone who spent much of her MA propping up the RADA bar.

Yes, according to the FAQ page it's approximately 3 hours long including an interval. |

Hipster tortilla chip-like things, to go with the dips? And some form of vegetable crisps? New quotes in the Gruan make it sound like they've been planning to do it for 18 months. amp.theguardian.com/film/2017/sep/01/tom-hiddleston-plays-hamlet-london-ticketSo, basically, they decided to make it this exclusive on purpose, and that anyone who wasn't lucky in the ballot is just sh*t out of luck. I'm still very glad I'm seeing it but I have lost a lot of respect for Hiddles - he has this spiel about 'fans' just being another word for 'audience', that you can't call yourself an artist without an audience, that he wants to connect to people with his work, etc, etc. More fool me for swallowing it, I suppose, because it obviously doesn't apply when he wants the chance to play with his mate. |

Hipster tortilla chip-like things, to go with the dips? And some form of vegetable crisps? I was actually wondering if they represented a scene from Hamlet I'd forgotten existed - it's been a while. amp.theguardian.com/film/2017/sep/01/tom-hiddleston-plays-hamlet-london-ticket Thanks for that - it doesn't annoy me at all - I'm all for funding the arts and alumni returning to give something back is fine by me. The only thing that nisses me off just a bit is that it's in modern dress, of which I am not a fan - though I'm sure I'll somehow manage to cope with Hiddles in ripped jeans or whatever! I am, however, struggling to contain my excitement as the article states that at the end those in the front row "are pretty much in the fight!" Forewarned is forearmed and I shall wear my bullet-proof vest and be ready to wield my pastry knife if necessary. |

Got back from the first preview and will do a short summary. It was very good for the first preview. Ran 3 hours. Act one very long 1 hour 50 mins 10 minutes interval and act 2 about 1 hour. This is modern dress and very classically delivered,all the cast are very good and work well together. Tom Hiddleston good as Hamlet. What you would probably expect from him. Staged very well with good light and sound design. Will say more about it tommorow when I have had a sleep on It and am not so tired.
