Thalia Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think they must be tweaking it as I’ve just looked and it’s now slightly different to what I described above... Looks like they’ve shifted the bands. I was signed in when I looked earlier – I just signed in again and first night of Spartacus shows £15-£27 lower band as opposed to £12-£21 for other performances. When I sign out they’re all £12-21. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Allen Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm not sure about this, so don't jump on me if I'm wrong, but it looks as i f "they" have slightly changed the boundaries between the price categories. The example I noticed was the front amphi centre (at £95 enough to induce swooning)which now seems to go further round to the sides than it does in the current Royal Ballet season so that it costs £95 for a seat in row E about half-way round the side block. I know that prices increase, but the rate of increase recently seems awful. I now feel like turning into the kind of person I always swore never to become - "the one referring to the good old days" - the first time I sat in the amphi my seat in the centre block of row D cost 12/6 !! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 £95 for the front amphi for ballet? Ouch! I haven't even been going to the ROH for that long, only 15 years, and even I can remember when the front amphi was "only" £50-ish for opera. As @Sim has said upthread, I'll certainly be saving my money for the Royal Opera & Ballet instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think you'll find the Hochhausers didn't use the same seating categories as the ROH last time around either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't and they are continuing to maximise their returns even more than the ROH is now doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Although they don't get government funding, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yep those are pretty dear tickets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbie1 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I noticed the other day that the pricing was unavailable on the website: it’s back up now, consistent between productions and making better sense - at least as far as my limited sampling indicates - so I imagine they were making corrections. I can’t see that it’s really any cheaper, though, so don’t get your hopes up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
