Somewhat frustrating to get an email offering £56 seats for £25 for after spending quite a bit. Seems the Monday addition was a bit over ambitious

Thats the way of the world I'm afraid. Its like buying something full price in a shop and the next week you see it in the sale.
But at least the concert is for charity so your money is going to 2 great causes.

Somewhat frustrating to get an email offering £56 seats for £25 for after spending quite a bit. Seems the Monday addition was a bit over ambitious I'd feel like that if I'd paid a three figure sum to see Taboo on Sunday but I'm delighted to have got a great seat in the stalls on Monday for £25 as it's a show I wouldn't otherwise have booked. The email said they are £56 seats for £25 but that's actually underselling the offer - the one I got was over £76 if booked direct and nearby seats are currently priced £126 on Sunday so it's a very good deal. I'm not sure if this counts as seat filling so will just say the offer is from a booking agency, not LW Theatres. |

So slightly galling to find out the nearby ones on Monday are down to £25. But such is life... |

Are you able to message me with the agency name as I've a friend who really wants to go byt can't afford the expensive seats I've just checked the Agency website but they are still charging full prices. However the email I have has a forward facility which says I can send the offer to up to five friends so send me a private message with an email address. It looks like I can only forward it once, to five people at the same time, so I'll wait till some other people have had the opportunity to request the link too. I'm leaving shortly to see a show tonight so it won't be till I get back very late but you will definitely get it and hopefully that will work but obviously no guarantees and can't be sure how long the offer will last. ANY ONE ELSE INTERESTED SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE. |

Yep agree with you all really did make me feel a little sick after the price I paid for the Sunday as was billed as a one off show which was a lot of money for me …. Then to find it’s now on Monday too about 70% cheaper 🙄🤨😞 which would have really helped but like others have said it’s all for charity I guess

I promise everyone who has bought for Sunday will feel they got something very special and well worth the money-even if every penny wasn’t going to two very deserving charities. We really appreciate and value your support. We have sold over 1750 tickets already for Monday and I wanted to make sure we sell every last one. Already over the £75k target for the Monday. Sunday-due to the higher prices has raised well over double that. If anyone feels unable to now pay for their Sunday ticket and wants to try and swap for same seats on the Monday - (if they are in the same location) at a lower price - I am easy to contact via my email address available on our Kindred-Partners website. I do understand what its like for everyone after 2 crappy years. I think a lot of people, if they can afford it will be wanting to see both nights!

Thats a very nice gesture adamk but I really hope no one takes up the offer. This is a charity event and the aim is to raise as much money for 2 great causes. I was happy to pay the price for the Sunday concert otherwise i would not have booked and I am sure most people feel the same. Can I ask if there will be programmes for sale? Keep up the great work and looking forward to Sunday. |

A very kind gesture which of course I shall not be taking up and I apologise for the whining, it's a show I love dearly and two great charities so I look forward to it. Hope you can sell out both nights even if the Monday is reduced a bit!

I read that there are some special T-shirts being sold for the 20th Anniversary Concert, so am going to try and get there early to get one. Does anyone know how long before a show starts, that they open the doors of the Palladium?

Does anyone know how long before a show starts, that they open the doors of the Palladium? It's usually about 60-90 mons before but I guess it will depend on the tech rehearsals. Sometimes for these one off events they go right up to the wire but as the venue doesn't have anything running at the moment they will have been able to get in there to set up earlier. |

I stumbled across the full show on YouTube ripped from the DVD version.
I hadn't listened to the full score in years and it really does stand up.
Really quite jealous of those going to the concert. But I am still not feeling confident about going into theatres or travelling into London

There are some T-Shirts for sale on the night(s). Nothing fancy-just something simple that commemorates the anniversary. All for charity. Only 2 sizes I am afraid. No programme but there is a cast crew credit sheet/ song list that we are giving out at the END of the concerts as I am hoping not to spoil the surprises. Not that there will be dancing bears or camels! We tried. George didn’t like them.

Have very fond memories of the London and UK tour productions and, having missed out on tickets for the original night, I was very tempted when I heard about the additional Monday performance . . . then both the kids tested positive for Covid, so we’re not going anywhere for a bit  Hope all that attend have a great night(s) and report back - sounds like it’s going to be great!  |

Could I suggest anyone going on Sunday night uses spoilers or doesn't give too much away for the people who are going on Monday.
From the comment above about the cast/crew/song list is being given put at the end suggests there are going to be some surprises so we don't want to spoil it.
Oh and my tickets just arrived.
