There's a lot of upcoming free events at the Southbank Centre but is there any way too book in advance? It looks strange on the website. Maybe I missed something?
I see there's a Tune Yard concert and I don't really want to miss it (especially as it's free )

edit: wait, I think it happens in the hall. Nevermind.

Hi,

I wondered if anyone knows whether there are free tickets for Detroit at The National Theatre tomorrow night or how I might get a discounted ticket. Is it worth me putting an ad in the wanted section?

There's been no code for that for as far as I remember (though check the thatre codes thread) and I don't believe we post wanted messages for something for which there are no free tickets out there.

However, I'll have a look at my usual places for you to see if I can find any discount codes.

It's also worth it to look into day seats for the National Theatre £10 or £12 depending on the production, and if you're between 16-25 years old you can get £5 tickets with the entry pass.

Day Tickets

Tickets available on the day of performance, in person only and subject to availability:

Tickets are available for every show from 9.30am on the day of performance (12 noon on Sundays when there is a performance and varying times on Bank Holidays).

They may be limited to two per person.

Standing tickets

Once all seats are sold, we will then release £5 Standing Room tickets for sale (applies to performances at the National Theatre only).

Standby: £15 off top 3 prices in the Lyttelton; £5 off top 2 prices in the Cottesloe and Olivier Travelex £10 productions. All Preview performances £20. Available from 90 minutes before a performance.

Student Standby: £10 from 45 minutes before (also unemployed, Stage Pass, SOLT, NCA, & theatre union members).

Edit: Can't find any discounts, so hope the above helps!
