    I’m very excited for tomorrow evening!

    After struggling with engineering works on my train line a couple of weeks ago, I thought it would be lovely to upgrade my SCS ticket for Don Q. There were still unsold tickets available 5 minutes before the performance started so, being brave, I asked the box office if a discount on any of the empty seats was available. The answer was no.

    Thank you @LinMM, enjoy your holiday!

    That’s a very interesting question @LinMM, do the dancers have a lot of influence?

    I have a ticket for the Hinkis/Acri Don Q debuts and am obviously disappointed that Akane Takada will not be dancing. I wish her well and hope that she is back on stage soon. However, I think that the whole company will ensure that the 28th is a special evening for everyone in the same way that the Calvert/Edmonds Swan Lake debuts were. That was a fabulous evening, definitely one to remember.

    @alisonand @Suffolkgal, I feel your pain and I’m sure there are many forum members in our situation. I have a ticket for the Don Q matinee next Saturday but it seems there are engineering works on my line. I will plan accordingly and ensure I have a contingency!

    Attempted to see the Don Q general rehearsal today by driving to the nearest tube station which is an hour away. All car parks full and the local area practically grid locked as everyone else is trying to get to London too. Gave up and went home… 😢

    I have avoided this thread recently as I was really looking forward to the new RB season which, for me, kicks off with the Don Q rehearsal on 30th and I didn’t want any bad news. Sadly, I’ve checked my trains this morning and the industrial action on 30th plus engineering works on 7th are worse than I could have expected. I’m hoping that there might be some better travel news later this week….

    I have also missed seeing him on stage this season as I think he is a lovely, elegant dancer. I hope we see him in a production soon. 🤞

    I’m just catching up with today’s comments and I have to say that I’ve found this a really interesting thread! 😃

    That’s an impressive schedule @JohnS! I bought my first standing ticket last season and have found it to be a great way to see more performances even if I do arrive home considerably more tired than when seated. My strategy so far this season has been to buy front amphi for rehearsals, a good seat for a cast I’m really keen to see (Takada/Acri in Don Q during this booking period) and standing for any other performances. I really enjoy the cinema screenings too. I haven’t yet bought tickets for Dante or Anemoi/Cello but may reconsider nearer the time.

    I have good news! I’ve just received a lovely apology email from the box office waiving fees and offering a combination of credit and refund. Thanks again for all of your suggestions.
  13. Swan
    Thank you @capybara, @MJW, @LinMM, @Richard LH and @Linnzi5 for your comments and advice. I’ve been communicating by email and am waiting for a further response. I don’t mind a credit as I will use it and paying the fee isn’t an issue as it does go into the ROH coffers to cover costs. I just felt it would be fairer to waive as they had made the error but I’ll see what come back with.

    Great suggestion and I contacted the box office after receiving their cast change apology email asking to change my tickets. Given that my buying decisions were based in incorrect information, I asked whether they would they waive the fee. The answer was no.
  15. Swan
    Really pleased that their performance is back but this morning I bought a ticket to The Limit on 28th instead and can’t make 11th. Frustrating!
  16. Swan
    I really wanted to see Takada/Acri on 28 October as I can’t make the 11 November performance. 😢
  17. Swan
    Thank you @JennyTaylor and @Naomi M for your wonderful contributions during the tour. Looking at Instagram, the dancers and the audiences seem to have had a terrific time so I may also need to start saving for 2025!
  18. Swan
    I now have a ticket, very happy!
  19. Swan
    Just wondering whether any forum members have changed their bank holiday plans and need to sell a standing ticket for the 29/5 Matinee? 🤞😀
  20. Swan
    I agree and thought she was terrific in the Spanish Dance.
  21. Swan
    I’m looking for an SCS or balcony standing ticket for the Sleeping Beauty matinee on 29 May. Please send a message if you can help. Thanks.
  22. Swan
    I’ve had scs and balcony standing tickets several times this season and am becoming quietly addicted… The price is great, the views of the stage have been consistently good and I can rest on the train home. I still enjoy the luxury of a seat though!

    Enjoy your double Cinderella day @JohnS and everyone else going along today. It’s perfect weather for enjoying a day of fairy tale escapism under cover at the ROH! ☔️ 🌧

    Thank you @bridiem. In my haste to post, I’ve realised my proof reading skills are often lacking. 🤣
  25. Swan
    Please could someone let me know how to edit a post to correct any grammar and spelling mistakes? Thanks. @Rob S Thank you for the beautiful photos you have posted this week, it’s lovely to be able to see the dancers the casts I may not have booked for.
