A question to those that already went yesterday: I only have the one ticket to pick up tonight and I was going to be cheeky and ask if they had an odd one left in the stalls (single tickets are hard to sell normally and filling up the stalls will look better for the actors). Does a lot happen higher up as in We Will Rock You or would stall seats be the best view? Thanks
No harm in asking but the tickets for SFF were already printed by the time I went to pick it up and they actually have a face value of £0.00 written on it with the name "Film First." They all appeared to either be in the Royal Circle or Grand Circle. I'll try upload a picture of my ticket later on. So I don't think stall seats are available.

Also I couldn't actually see any empty seats in the stalls anyway (I had considered going and sitting there should I notice any empty seats). Like tilly says though, no harm in trying.

I think stall tickets are fine (and pretty good seats too) but I wouldn't want to sit right at the front unless you're quite tall. Maybe from about row C onwards? And yeh, the people in the stalls enjoyed it the most as the actors interacted with them the most (alot easier that's why). Oh and the people on the stall had some glitter type thing thrown on them right at the end of the show. Lol. I'm glad I wasn't sitting there - would have been very obvious on my clothes since I was wearing all black.

I can see alot of people liking this show and I can see you having a good time too, c_t.

I just spoke to a friend of mine that went last night with SFF tickets and she ended up in the stalls, so I am definitely going to be trying! :D

Glitter is an added bonus haha Thanks for the input a_person, will try to avoid the first few rows (if I can get a stall ticket at all of course)

I know.... it was abit last minute otherwise I wold have arranged to see you. I tried to text you but then I realised your number wasn't on this particular phone of mine! :(

I did look around for you but since most of the people were taller than me, I had a very restricted view! ;) Also, I was in the Grand Circle :tears: not Royal Circle!

Erm, they don't play it on the radio stations that I listen too.... :shifty: Also, I'm not really into Glee and stuff.... So wouldn't be familiar with anything Glee-related....

Agreed. Even though I look alot older than I am, you are old enough to be my Dad! :D :P

Well considering I wasn't born until the latter part of the 80's...... :roll:

Just received this e-mail:

We regret to inform you that due to circumstances beyond our control tickets for Thursday Preview of Rock of Ages have been cancelled, with no exceptions.

They gave me a code for Friday tickets instead but it comes up as invalid!

Edit: code now live http://www.fmuk.org.uk/forum/viewtopic. ... 70#p142534

Does anyone know if Tuesday or Wednesday are cancelled too? Because I just received another e-mail about a cancellation but it doesn't list a day as the previous one did. And I did have tickets for different nights which I've given to other people on here so it could refer to any of those.

I am going tonight myself and really hope it's not cancelled...
