But if you want to sit with forum people and you show up at different times it'll depend on what's available.
yeah, that was what I was trying to say. I'm not sure how many tickets there are though vx
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

I think they are still trying to sell tickets for tonight and so with these tickets that we have won't be the best seats.

Just hope we manage to get in If this is the case.
On Ticketmaster there doesn't appear to be many seats available

I reckon 7pm might be a tad too late to rock up and hope for (good) seats, so if you can I would advise to check the box office as soon as you're near the theatre to see if they can give you tickets. I am guessing it'll be possible to get them from 6 or 6.30.

I know as wanted to collect now but he told me not before 7pm. People can try beforehand but he seemed quite strict and didn't want to annoy him.

Ticketmaster probably only has a small allocation, but I don't imagine there would be many seats left. I would hope not, since it's a new production

Yes, that's usually the case. If someone to check SEE tickets now, it will show different seats from Ticketmaster.
I tried it several times when I was booking for a school theatre trip on behalf of the school WELL in advance! (8 months or so!)

I hope for good seats for this musical and no ID checks. :cross: .. I do have a change of name email (thank you CT), but I prefer a straight forward paper printout - tickets exchange. Do not want any extra attention from Box office people...

Yeah I know he told you so Tilly, wasn't faulting you :) Just going on experience I have with theatre tickets. Assumingly someone else will be manning the box office tonight and they might do something else again. Would hate for anyone here to miss out just because one guy at a box office said a certain thing and then someone else there did the opposite.

Mandmc10, I've only been asked for ID once when picking up theatre tickets through SFF so crossing my fingers for you :)
