Still no email confirmation after 6 hours - I've gone back to the website and all it says is "You have no recent orders or the order code is wrong."

Phoned boxoffice after 24 hours and was assured that I had my ticket. Have not had a confirmation e-mail after 48 hours!

Just had painfree experience online. Had one error screen so went back a page then no problem, had my Nutcracker tckt in 5 mins. Good to know that others are waiting for confirmation e-mail too

I now see they've split the amphi into main and sides, so you can see the entire amphi, but only in two goes.

 

Now they need to deal with the colour coding ...

And please remember that some of us are partially colour blind!

Ok Janet , fingers to the key board before my nerve goes ! I have just enjoyed the final afternoon of B.R.B. Midscale tour, in Buxton.

We finished the afternoon with a super performance of Pineapple Poll, always guaranteed to send me home with a smile.

Before that we had three bitesized pieces; the Clog Dance and pd from Hobsons Choice, a ballet I could watch all week and Oliver Till joined the ranks of splendid Will Mossops. Followed by the Bethena Concert Waltz from Elite Syncopations and one of my favourites , the pas de deux from Don Quixote. As Basilio, I thought Mathias Dingman was awesome.

The afternoon began with the new ballet Lyric Pieces, first performed a couple of weeks ago by BRB, at the International Dance Festival Birmingham. Choreographed by Jessica Lang and danced to music by Grieg. It is the second time that I have seen this ballet in full and I get more from it with each viewing; it is beautiful and I could not pick out any one dancer, they were all breathtaking. I was lucky enough to see part of the ballet in rehearsal, with Jessica Lang and see that the construction was very much in collaboration with her dancers. Yes I am taken with this ballet and there will be the chance to see why when BRB perform it again in Birmingham in September and at Sadlers Wells in October.

No expertise on my part ,just 60+ years of watching and loving ballet.

Spannerpony I sat in C 64 a couple of weeks ago and I too am 5' 4!. My seat had a restricted view which was no problem at all, and I had a good view. Unless you are terribly unlucky and get a very tall person infront you should be ok. Hope that you enjoy.
