  1. I nipped back on this forum as I thought I might be able to get advanced notice of autumn pricing, so appreciate the sharing very much. 
     

    I planned I would treat my 9 year old nephew to Alice as he loves dance, tap and acting, and from what I can see from clips online it is still recognisably as Alice with a storyline that he knows and could follow. 
     

    The prices are insane!! With deals I can get the both us to a well-known musical for much less than one adult to the ballet. I naively thought I’d treat us to seats near the front of the amphi, as 20 years ago I used to go a couple of times each run to most of the RoH ballets, sit in decentish seats, and I was earning a fraction of what I am now.  Now, seats with a decent view are not remotely affordable and I am not sure the restricted view seats are worth it as they are over-priced too. Working out what my 2003 income would be today to buy todays tickets, I would probably never have bothered going to the ballet. I’ve been out of UK a long time, only occasionally seeing shows on flying visits, but in other places I’ve lived the main ballet companies are not so disproportionally expensive vs average incomes. 

     

    It’s very strange there are no matinees during October half-term too. Seems like an obvious miss! 

     

    And I assume I am their “target audience” - some disposable income, would take kids, not going to ballet often - so, if not regulars, or people like me, then who???
