I’m not a member of anything, I just signed up on the website for the presale yesterday, got the email with the link this morning and booked this afternoon. There were loads of seats available.
Ok I’ve paid full price but, I’m seeing it right st the start of the run so that’s a premium isn’t it.
I’m not sure what people are complaining about. Were there some super cheap tickets going for some selected few or something? If not, then what?

@burlybear for me it was getting the stalls row C/D for £65 / £70.
May have been some cheaper seats in the Gods, my preference is always to be close to the stage as I like to see the actors mannerisms close up.
The £10 tickets if they appear will be a lottery and depends on how brave you are.
By the way the new Avatar is definitely striking.

For me it was because I wanted a specific date, which is not usually the case. II lost all the £70 stalls seats in front of the premiums.

I did have a snap of me thirty seconds later sniffing my fingers but thought it might not go down well. I am totally with you though. I’m front stalls all the way usually and will pay more to be close because I don’t go to the theatre as often as many of our members here. That seat in the circle is a cracker though.

Site seemed to move a lot quicker this morning, presumably because everybody in the world had priority booking Queue of 90 people when I looked at 10:30. Back and front of stalls still not released.

I've held off booking, perhaps unwisely, but it just seems too pricey. I'd only go for the balcony prices, but I don't really want to sit in the balcony. I'm holding out for day seats I suppose...

They haven't released the front row in Stalls. Let's hope these will be the Day Seats

I paid £70 for mid stalls. Acceptable I think. Just.

I paid less than a third of that for a seat in the dress circle, with a programme thrown in. The premium tickets, yes, are very expensive, but there are cheaper alternatives with a perfectly good view of the stage.

I’ve never been to Noel Coward Theatre but i really want to see this, is there any seats/areas i should absolutely avoid if I want a good view?

Avoid the slips in the grand circle and balcony. Row K in the stalls has a terrible off-set, particularly in the middle. A few people feel the same about the back two rows of the stalls as well. Much more on my site on this one. In general the front dress circle and front few rows of stalls are about the best views, as you would expect. The balcony is pretty far away, though, and the grand circle is pretty high. Great advice! If legroom is an issue, you’re better in stalls than dress circle! Very tight up there

How are balcony seats re: legroom? Aisle seats fine?

I read both of those but Theatremonkey says that the legroom isn't good but the people on Seatplan give the legroom good reviews.

Was very surprised that my ticket arrived today. Thought they weren't sending them out until much nearer the time. Yes surprised when mine arrived on Tuesday...

They rather messed up the booking for this as they called me about 10 days after my booking had failed to go through to ask if I still wanted the seat they were apparently still holding for me. Sadly I had already purchased another from TKTS so I had to give up beloved D4 in the Royal Circle

Looking forward to read the reviews to decide if I'm gonna take a trip to London to see this.

Looks like they have released the back couple of rows of the stalls for all performances. £40 in previews, £60 for the rest of the run

I want to see this show mainly for the cast as i’m not too familiar with the story, so I was hesitant to pay such high prices but you just saved me from having to do that!

This rehearsal shot is what the kids call a “mood” also I’d forgotten Mr O was in it. Looking fine as ever. (And yes I know lots of you thought of that bit of him didn’t you?)

In fairness the Donmar really should have issues a warning. As @baemax just said to me “how could you not think of it reasonably often having seen it”
