Well, I hope you get it soon! ;)
p.s. they are just standard theatre tickets, no names on it all. So all that fuss about giving names! :roll:

Mine came today too, as pxc says just standard tickets no names.

Mine are Upper Circle and quite far back but looking on Theatre Monkey they don't have bad reviews really. Looking forward to it very much.

I'm surprised to hear that Rainey as they haven't sold upper circle seats for previews and I was under the assumption they were keeping it closed as tickets sales haven't been that good anyway. So perhaps this was thought out beforehand and they're using it for competitions, or you may get an upgrade to a better seat when you get there.

Also, fair warning, they're struggling with set changes in the interval and for the last few days it's been about 50 minutes long, meaning the show doesn't finish until 11pm. Hopefully this has tightened up significantly next week but if any of you guys have far to travel it's best to take this into consideration.

I've just double checked, they are definitely Upper Circle row K, so almost at the back, they also say its an exclusive Sun+ performance so maybe they have given tickets for the entire theatre away that night.

Thanks for the warning about the interval, taking my daughter, so hopefully they've tightened up on the timings, or its going to make a late night a very late night!

There are no tickets available for the 11th so you're probably right about that, making it even more surprising you're in the upper circle as that are a lot of seats to fill. Hopefully the view will be fine, but perhaps bring some binoculars for your daughter, just in case :)

Unfortunately tonight once again the interval is an extended one. Plus the show itself is well over two hours (without interval) making it a long ordeal. They gave free wine the first night and free ice cream yesterday, so who knows, you may be lucky in that regard ;)

Oh well, we'll take a little pillow and she can sleep on the train and hope for free ice cream!

As for the seats, I'm sure they'll be fine, sometimes its better to be high up with 'little people' they get a better view rather than try to look through a sea of heads in the stalls.

Very pleased to have the tickets courtesy of a very kinds FMUKer, I read nothing but positive reviews so far.
