First goal seems to be to draw fewer than one place in the queue per mile ..

Sat here on 3986.
Gutting.
I've not tried for these PwC previews for a few years and always got in really quickly in the past, so this is an unhappy experience.
Ah well.

Not in the queue today but noticed that after an initial highish number and slow countdown in the National queue last week it soon sped up most probably due to people having multiple browsers open and therefore 1 person can take up many slots.
Not tried the multiple browser method for the Old Vic but would be surprised it didn’t happen.
Forever the optimist, don’t give up just yet.

Given that most people will buy two tickets, if you're below 1500 or so there isn't much point hanging around, is there?

Got lucky pulling 302, just got 2 tickets, not together but both in Row J of the stalls, for the third performance. At this point the availability looked good and the website ran smoothly so it might be worth hanging in there a bit. As NeilVHughes says above people do have multiple browsers open.

I recall for All My Sons I was hanging on for a couple of hours but still managed to get tickets so will hold on.

Also people have to get on with things, or need to switch off, or indeed give up ..

Managed to get one yay. Didn't have much time to consider best seats, I hope I didn't go for a rubbish view on D row up in the dress circle. Anyway for £10 it is worth it...

I just got in (13:35) but only a handful of very restricted view side circle seats left. I passed...

Got in around half one, nothing good left - just the Bayliss circle benches, so I didn't bother. Congrats to those who got decent seats!
Edit: Spoke too soon. Unless there has been some massive glitch in the matrix I seem to have managed to get two middle seats together near the front of the stalls which suddenly popped up as I was refreshing. Woo!

Congrats to everyone who did get tickets!
Looks like they definitely are doing dayseats according to their website from 10:15 at the box office. That's at least a much more controlled environment than this has been, no hanging around unnecessarily.

Was number 1777, got in around half past one. There were very few seats left, lots of side views but I managed to get the last of the last row centre baylis circle. Lots of single seats were left when I got on though, so could still be a chance of some decent seats.

If I'm remembering correctly, weren't there more previews available with other productions ... I'm sure I remember waiting 2 1/2 hours and getting a slips seat at some point ..

Somehow got through after being 2201 in the queue. It kept throwing me out of all dates with error messages. Then i clicked one final time and managed two stalls tickets on the Wednesday!

Got lucky with the queue and have some nice stalls seats. I have a Dress Circle behind-pillar seat for later in the run that I'll probably sell off closer to the time assuming my calendar doesn't change and I'll advertise it on the noticeboard.

Good point I was trying to work out what view I'd get between Dress circle or last two rows of stalls and there were no photos on seatplan which was very annoying, I wonder why... it was my first attemp at the Old Vic previews lottery, maybe next time I'll be lucky with a nice stalls seat...

Starting to think this may get cancelled/postponed because of the coronavirus. Really hope not though.

Eileen Atkins is 85-yo. The production surely has zero chance of going ahead.

According to the Old Vic website:
"If you have purchased tickets to 4000 Miles, there is currently no change to the schedule. Please be assured that we will communicate with you in good time about your visit."
The operative word there is "currently". Chalamet will want to get home while he still can. Hopefully it will be postponed rather than cancelled.

I guess, strictly from a medical pov, there is just time for Eileen to step aside and for someone younger to take over.
I presume there will be an understudy anyway ...

If/when this worsens - make it when - no way is Chalamet going to want to be abroad, away from friends and family. I give this zero chance of opening on schedule in April.
