Finding Cheap West End Tickets<\/h2>\n

It is no secret that London is an expensive city. A few tricks, however, can fetch you a good deal on your West End theatre tickets. The London theatres have all been built with enormous stages, mindful seating, and brilliant acoustics. All these features, coupled with the energy, of a live show ensure a great viewing experience from most seats in London theatres. One can surely save a good amount by going for seats at the back or sides of the theatre, which are relatively cheaper. Here are a few other ways to get discounted tickets:<\/p>\n

\"london<\/p>\n

London TKTS<\/b>: The TKTS booth<\/a> sells tickets at discounted rates as it obtains its inventory directly from the theatres. You can buy tickets physically from the one and only TKTS booth located in Leicester Square after checking the availability online. You need to carry a valid ID and collect the tickets in person.<\/p>\n

Check our detailed guide on TKTS London.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lottery<\/b>:If you are willing to take a chance, some West End shows offer day lottery or online lottery. You can participate in day lottery by being present and giving your name at the venue 2-3 hours before the show. If you get lucky in the draw, you can buy upto two tickets( mostly) at a discounted rate. For online lotteries, you choose your preferred dates over a week. The winners can pick almost 2 tickets per person at a slashed rate.<\/p>\n

Day Tickets<\/b>:These tickets are made available for sale on the day of the show as soon as the theatre Box Office opens. You have to make it in time and queue up for these. The discounts are pretty good on these tickets but you can buy a maximum of two.<\/p>\n

Finding the Best Seats in the Theatre<\/h2>\n

\"london<\/span><\/p>\n

The theatres in London are all very thoughtfully built to provide a great viewing experience from most seats. They all have a similar seating layout, with the theatre being divided into the following sections:<\/p>\n

Stalls<\/b>: This is the closest section to the stage, called the Orchestra in Broadway<\/a> jargon. By the virtue of their positioning they provide the best views in the whole theatre. These coveted seats come at a premium price, hence are most expensive.<\/p>\n

Circle<\/b>: The section right above the Stalls is the Circle. This is usually divided into the Dress Circle and the Grand Circle. The seats here have the advantage of being little elevated and hence get a full view of the stage. The middle section of Dress Circle or the Royal Circle is most sought after in this category.The Grand Circle or the Upper Circle is right behind the Dress Circle. These are the best bet of seats for budget conscious viewers. Besides a good price, you get a pretty decent view.<\/p>\n

Balcony<\/b>:Some West End Theatres have the Balcony section which is a raised seating platform behind the Grand\/Upper Circle, towards the rear of the auditorium. Given its distance from the stage, it doesn’t have the best view. The price, however, compensates for the compromise on the view.<\/p>\n
