There are still 430 users in front of me, hoping there'll be a ticket left by the time I get to the front of the queue.

That was strangely simple. My random place in the queue took me straight to the front - plenty of availability for the first date I picked (a Saturday night) and checked out within 3 minutes! Same here... easiest booking I've ever made at the National! |

You should be ok, I got in quick but looks like same seats released for dates with mix of prices. It was so smooth I was suspicious. Thank you for reminder 're credit vouchers too had forgot I had one.

In. 955 in the queue. 24 mins. Straight to the date I wanted. Got roughly the price I expected. Done.

I got in pretty quickly, but once in , the ticket selection links were all ‘dead’ and wouldn’t let me click anything (possible to do with my computer/browser?) I called the Box Office and they were so helpful. My phone even cut off and they rang me back and booked the tickets for me.
There are still tickets available now.

That was a horrible booking experience. Got into the queue at around 1200 and it took around 30 minutes to get through. Then the site crashed in the middle of the payment process and logged me out, so I lost the tickets. So had to pay more for the same seats two weeks later. I’d like to not do that again.

I didn’t get an email with a yes or a no, so thought I’d try booking today on the off chance I actually won but they didn’t send me an email. They obviously need to work on their system a bit, as I somehow managed to stop a page refresh at a specific point which enabled me to actually see the list of dates and availability and select a seat for a date before getting an error saying the seat wasn’t available. Every time I tried to do it after that I couldn’t even see the list of dates, so am sure I didn’t win the ballot but got further than I think I was supposed to in the booking process!

Although I can't see the actual seatplan, it does list the number of tickets available at each price for each performance like usual. Assuming that's correct, it looks like there's still a reasonable number of seats still available for most days (lots of notes of 9+ seats)... particularly considering there's only ~1/2 day left for ballot winners. Given that it was free to enter, I wonder if a proportion of ballot winners have changed their minds when it comes down to stumping up for actual tickets.
As a fellow ballot-loser, here's hoping that there's a decent number of tickets left for a second go at tickets, whether it's through day seats, a regular sale or another ballot...

I haven't seen any returns pop up for this on the NT site in the way you sometimes do for other 'sold out' shows. Are they saving them for day ticket queuers?

Something's changed because the dates are visible now, I'm hoping they might appear once it's started cos day tickets will be almost impossible for us.. |

On the website some of the earlier shows are as sold out, but most of the later ones seem to just be off sale (listed as 'not available') so I'm hoping that those refer to extra returns or unsold tickets.
I'm pretty sure for Network some of the day tickets could be bought over the phone (standing ones, other than in the last few days) so hopefully those outside of London will be in with a chance.

May be online because "Entry Pass" Might be - I saw similar peculiar web pages with the sold out Mosquitoes. |

All dates say sold out if I’m not logged in. Logged in it says ‘no results’. I have an operation (routine) in the next few weeks so would really prefer not to have to try and day seat. |
