TICKETING TIPS

HOT TIP

Is Tina sold out for months? – how do I get tickets?

Whilst it’s true that Tina has sold a lot of tickets, there are still good seats available over the next few months.

It can also be worth checking on the day in case we have had any seats returned or released for sale.

HOT TIP

You can often buy tickets with a slightly restricted view for some of the upcoming performances over the next few weeks. These seats can offer great value, as in most cases, only a very small part of the stage is obscured. These seats are often the last seats to be sold, and can be available to buy on the day or week of the performance. Check for these by calling or visiting the theatre. It is best to have a choice of dates in mind when inquiring.

But I want top price tickets – when can I buy these?

If you are looking to buy a top price ticket, availability is strictly limited. There are a few top price tickets available on some mid-week performances towards the end of June, but for wider mid-week availability you will need to book for July onward.

HOT TIP

Because there are no group rates valid during popular school holidays some of the performances during these times currently have the best availability.

I can’t wait until then – surely there must be some way of getting tickets earlier?

Whilst there are no guarantees it is always worth ringing up, checking online or visiting the theatre on the day of the performance –often spare tickets are returned or released for sale on the day of the performance.

HOT TIP

Sometimes ticket agencies may still have seats that they haven’t sold. Check out the list of reputable ticket agents www.star.org.uk

How do I buy tickets?

There are lots of different ways to buy tickets.

• You can book online by following the links on the website direct to our box office
• You can also book by phone (0845 200 7981) which is open 9am-9pm 7 days a week
• Alternatively, you can book in person at the Aldwych Theatre 10am-8pm Monday – Saturday (but please note that the box office will be very busy in the hour before a performance, so you may be asked to wait a few minutes).

HOT TIP

Make sure you only buy tickets from an approved ticket agent. Never buy tickets from touts. When buying tickets, you should never pay a booking fee of more than 25% of the face value of the ticket. Make sure that you are told the exact location of your seats and the face value of the tickets.

How do I avoid paying a booking fee?

If you buy your tickets in person at the Aldwych Theatre or online at www.tinathemusical.com  

Where is the best place to sit?

The best place to sit is down to personal preference. The top price tickets are in the stalls (stage level) or the dress circle (first balcony). In the stalls you feel really close to the action; in the dress circle you get a great overview of the stage.

HOT TIP

Some of the best value seats are in the balcony where you get fantastic clear views of the stage from just £10.
