Same. I had the email from the mailing list for 12 on Monday but had no idea about the earlier option.

Thanks for sharing. The plan is not revolutionary but looking good nonetheless. ... Who do I need to sleep with to get one of the boxes?

I am tempted by a table, but maybe they'll do audience participation which I don't like. Just thinking of the Sam Mendes' production, I nearly ended up dancing with Alan Cummings on stage. Fortunately, he picked the person next to me, which was a relief

Fortunately, he picked the person next to me, which was a relief I feel the same way, I normally like to sit as near the stage as possible, but I’m a bit hesitant having read this on the ATG site: “Before the show, guests are invited to enjoy the club with drinks, dining and pre-show entertainment all on offer. When booking, guests will receive a 'club entry time' and, for the richest experience and to immerse themselves fully in the club, we encourage people to arrive early.”

Perhaps a table in the 2nd row (assuming I won't need to re-mortgage the house to buy one). I read that on the site and assumed the subtext was "arrive early to spend as much on food and drink as possible cos this has cost us a fortune and we're gonna need to claw that back somehow"!

Tickets from £20! I think that will be for a seat sitting on a deckchair outside near the ventilation shaft so you can hear the music but not see it. I actually did that once. Barbara Streisand was at Wembley. I went along one night to see if I could a ticket from one of the touts as there was a rumour they were selling them at the last minute for a tenner. Wrong! Anyway myself and a few others ended up sitting on the wall outside next to a ventilation shaft and we could hear the show perfectly.
Oh and will they be selling Kit-Kats there? Hope so.

I see they have standing tickets, so they may well be the £20 ones.

Will Jessie and Eddie extend their run or do they have a hard out in March?

Booked successfully this morning. Fairly painless.
But wow, those tickets are expensive! Table seats and boxes all £200 and up, plus you have to book a minimum of two, which rules me out.
The cheapest Stalls/Dress Circle seats are £70.
£50 and £30 seats available in the Upper Circle.
You also can't avoid the £3.65 booking fee, even as a member.
(these are after previews - slightly cheaper before)
If you can't find the booking link, just in to your ATG account and search for Cabaret.

Second booking did just allow me to avoid the £3.65 fee, but I'm sure that option wasn't available 10 minutes ago.
That's all my ATG vouchers from cancelled shows used up for now! One booking near the start of the run, one near the end (but I couldn't do the first preview). Only the cheap seats, so I'll miss out on the champagne and tasting platter.
For anything else, I'll see what options are available nearer the time.
Looks like they have about half the tickets each night available for members, presumably more to come in the 12 noon presale. But there is absolutely no queue for booking through this route, whereas I'd expect things to go mad at 12! Thanks for the early notification as this route hasn't been well publicised.

I managed to get a table for 2 in row D for 90 each for a Saturday in previews, expensive but doable - you can also choose to add a gourmet pre show meal and bottle of champagne when selecting the tickets at a table, which then ups it to 165 each. Front row tables with the food/drink were 250 per person!!

Wow, punchy! I picked up a couple of table seats for Friday 19th Nov (preview?), row D for £90 a piece.

Booked cabaret table seats at 155 each and couldn’t avoid the booking fee. It also wouldn’t accept my credit voucher which was really annoying. It was quite fiddly and kept telling me I had to select two, which I wanted but then unselecting the first seat.

I think to avoid the booking fee, you need to specifically choose the atg member ticket option when adding the ticket to your basket.
I found it really annoying that all of the front stalls are in pairs only, and most only give a meal deal option. There were some seats where you could buy ticket only, but certainly not all - making most front row tables £275 per ticket (for a Friday evening in December)!

Do we think we have any possibility of refunds on the booking fee? I had no sense of how to avoid it...

Thanks Dr Tom for posting the prices. I think I'll miss this one but keep an eye out for discounts.

Bizarrely, there are now a few dates with single seats available in the Stalls, which weren't there earlier. I don't know if this is staff listening to complaints (or reading the forum) and adjusting things, or if other people have found a way to book the other single seat.
The booking fee "feature" is strange. Some days/seats have the ATG option available, which removes it. Others don't.
If anyone does ask for a booking fee refund, please let us know how you get on.

Ouch - those prices. I've gone for 3xStalls @90 per head, no food or drink. For the £375 saving we can go to Barrafina or Rules where the food will probably be nicer. Well done to those who have opted for the full experience though - I hope it is a wonderful occasion!

The new dress circle rows h to l presumably are built on the former stage side. Seem to have better seat availability anyone risking them? All seat data on the previous playhouse layout shows a low stall rake, cramped seating and from the circles views with rails. Do people think they will have sorted some of this with the new layout?
