Genuine question as I don't really study ticket price bands but aren't those just normal prices for London's glitzy West End nowadays? Are they really higher than normal?
And there are tickets for £18 so it's not like there aren't cheap tickets on offer.

Dunno, I never go, it's too expensive Those £18 tickets will be so bad that you might as well stand on the other side of the road and try to see what's going on, I suspect. It seems ambitious pricing for something that isn't Hamilton.

They've been game about letting the back row of the stalls go for £18, but otherwise @abby is right. The back upper circle is at least a fairly clear view, but compared to what £18 got you at the Lyttelton, it's not really a compensation. Well I guess sometimes you get what you pay for. After all, theatres ain't charities.

Those prices are a bargain compared to what the Park Avenue Armory in New York is charging for the Lehman Trilogy. I bought my ticket back in September, and I paid $125 (a little less than £100) for a seat in the middle of Row K. That's considered "Zone A", which is the second-priciest range (the ranges are Premium, Zone A, Zone B, and Zone C).
Today I received a blast email from the Park Avenue Armory, saying that seats for the whole engagement are "extremely limited", and encouraging people who haven't bought tickets yet to do so right away. Out of curiosity, I looked at what's available for the date of my performance, and I was amazed to see that Zone A tickets now cost $225 (and the only available seats in Zone A are way off to the side, e.g., seat numbers in the 40's in rows that go consecutively from 1 to 46). "Premium" seats are going (or not) for $300. Talk about dynamic pricing.
Apologies if this belongs on the International board, but I didn't see a thread about the Lehman Trilogy on that board, and this seemed somewhat related to concerns about ticket pricing that people have raised on this thread.

Fantastic news! Saw it live from the front row at the Nash past summer - such a treat - and will be happy to go again dragging all my friends along!

Can't see anything in Rory's post at all, is there confirmation of its return? It's announcing an NT Live on 25 July, it's transferring to the Piccadilly Theatre 11 May - 3 August.

I saw this last night at the Piccadilly and thought it was amazing... the combination of story, staging and above all, acting made this thrilling. I do think it's overlong (3+ hours) and started dragging in the middle. I think they could actually skip from the end of the first generation to the events triggering the end of the company.
But the acting!!! Each of the three actors plays multiple characters, flickering from one to another with an upturned collar here or a change of posture there. Simply wonderful to watch.

Now extended to 31st August, which is good. Ben Miles isn't doing the final three weeks, I assume he had a work commitment that clashed, Dominik Tiefenthaler is taking over

Entertaining Q&A this afternoon.
Set looks good in its new home, tempted to catch it again if I can get a reasonably priced ticket before the cast change.

I was there as well. Did you catch the group berating staff in the foyer becasue they'd turned up expecting to see the play (for £7) .. honestly! Sam Mendes got praise heaped high by all concerned.

londonpostie , yes, walked past them, the usher was being professional explaining that the tickets referenced AG, BM, SRB on the ...., how they could think it was for a performance was unbelievable, also found it strange that even though the tickets had allocated seats when we got in the ushers said it was unallocated, maybe the NT and ATG sold the same seats and was surprised there was not more of a kerfuffle when you found someone in ‘your’ seat. Fortunately when I got home tonight (went on to the Barbican for Knight of the Burning Pestle) there were a couple of Friday Rush tickets left for next Saturday’s matinee so seeing at again sooner than expected.

I wonder if they will do anything special today to honour Simon's knighthood Fellow actors and crew will take great delight in calling him Sir Simon and throwing their jackets on the floor for him to walk on!

As a recommendation to watch this production, a clip on the BBC’s This week in Parliament showed one Peer, Baroness Flather suggesting other members of the House of Lords should go and watch it. High praise indeed.

I imagine the three leads want to have a break before doing a longer Broadway run.

One of them is being replaced at the end of next week. Ben Miles's final performance in the show in London is August 3rd. He's being replaced by Dominik Tiefenthaler.
