The theatre is lovely this time of year

If you are taking a trip on a whim, or you have a special day planned for someone special there are a multitude of ways to get your tickets. Online there are last minute deals with Last Minute, tips and treats from Visit Londonif you’re in the capital and Show-and-Stayoffer a wide range of deals that include somewhere to have a kip after your theatrical trip if you’d like to explore the area near the theatre of your choice.

Last Minute bookings are often available at less than half the original price, since theatres would rather sell cheap seats than have empty ones. If you’re not so spontaneous then try Discount Theatreor Tickets Now, who have outlets all over the world and will post your purchases for free (assuming there’s time).

It’s always worth shopping around for tickets as the box office prices tend to be negotiable and buying on the night, from the venue direct is often the most pricey ticket option.
