I wonder if their system isn't signing people out? I closed the browser window, then went back to it (including just now, 15+ minutes after completing the booking) and was still seeing availability. I didn't see a button to click to log out, either. I'll close the browser to see what happens, but that might be the problem.
UPDATE: Closing the entire browser logged me out. When I opened that window through Chrome History, it put me at the end of the queue (although it only showed 100-something in front of me). If you're still far back, I wonder what would happen if you exited the queue, closed the browser and tried again.

My counter has stopped going down... Same here. The one I opened on the second browser has remained at 3000. The first one, where I was 500 and it rapidly counted down, flips between the dates screen and a 'we're sorry, high traffic, try again' message. |

My counter has started going down again, but wait time shot up from 35 minutes to 180!
Edit: and now back down to 25 minutes, apparently. I'm going to take the estimate wait time figure with a grain of salt :')

I'm now in another queue, not the red screen but a standard Nimax one.

I'm still having issues at checkout. Just keeps saying thank you for waiting, we're still retrieving delivery options.

I started at 3000 too and then it leaped to 4000 and doubled the time. Hurumph.

The counter is moving now on the 3000 red one on the other browser too.

My basket timed out and I've been put into a Nimax queue.
Argh.

The Nimax queue took me to a booking on the Nimax website - which went through instantly. No spinning, no retrieving address.
Even still managed to get good stalls seats at a reasonable price... got the confirmation email to find I had mis-clicked and instead of booking a Tuesday evening, I had booked a Monday... George's Day.
heh.

Fantastically straight forward. Thank you Sonia, thank you Nimax, thank you the Academy, and everyone who knows me. Phew!

I booked early in the run, now wishing I'd have booked later as I guess it'll be in previews. Hoping though there shouldn't be much difference.

Done. Previews are significantly cheaper, (front stalls £55 rather than £85 after press night)

After about half an hour including a second queue I got in and booked. Went for back corner of the stalls for £15 with extra legroom too!

Also there doesn’t appear to be front row so assume they’ll be day / rush seats.

The preview discounts were too good to ignore - picked up stalls row K for £55 on the first Wednesday.

Completely forgot and the presale mail went straight to spam but found what we want in early May. The non-standard Nimax basket was confusing

Lost the email, found the email, finally got booked - ended up with 15 quid seats in the Grand Circle, but quite frankly would've taken anything! Cannot wait for this!

After skimping out and going for £10 tickets a decade ago (the joys of my student days!), I've "splashed out" on central stalls this time around in previews.

Is there any chance this might get recorded? The play is so beloved and Rylance’s performance is so iconic, but it’s incredibly doubtful he could do the role again. With that in mind, might they want to preserve him and it?

Got an invite to this through the email this morning without having signed up so thought it would be rude not to book a cheap seat...
