What are Some Other Ways to Get Discounted London Theatre Tickets?

Off-Season Perks

  • The timing (both date and hour) of the show has a direct impact on its prices. For instance, tickets for a weekend evening performance will be more expensive than a weekday matinee performance.
  • Ticket prices shoot up around the holiday and summer when many people travel to London. You can get discounted London theatre tickets during off-season dates if you plan your trip carefully.
  • When booking your West End tickets online, check the price difference between a holiday/weekend date and a weekday one and proceed accordingly.

Back Seats

  • Usually, seats at the back of any theatre are cheaper than those closer to the stage.
  • There are also quite a few seats marked 'obstructed view' that are much cheaper than even the cheap seats though the view of the stage is partially blocked.
  • When booking your tickets, take a good look at the theatre seating chart to identify which seats are obstructed and which ones are at the back of the house and thus cheaper.
  • Some West End theatres also offer a standing room where the tickets are discounted.

Early Bird Tickets

  • Every West End show is released in two phases: the preview stage and the opening night.
  • The early bird preview tickets usually come at discounted rates and are a great way to catch amazing shows without burning a hole in your pocket.
  • If you book West End tickets well in advance, you can take advantage of the discounted early bird preview tickets.
  • Depending on the popularity of the show, these early bird preview tickets sell out in a flash so you'll need to keep an eye out to grab these tickets.
