I know but normally it's an hour late iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hephaistion03 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Same here , the page says I have reached my limit !!!!! but I have not managed to book any tickets . Then a charge of GBP1,330.00 in my basket which later disappeared. Could not get access to pick a seat , problem with the system message appearing regularly , two hours later only a few meager tickets left , but all the GBP250.00 tickets and 99% of all the tickets sold !!!

JNC Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Sorry a tangent to booking specifically but does this confirm there won’t be a visiting ballet company at ROH this summer? They don’t have anything showing for August at the moment so wondering if there’s scope for an announcement still…? Although as mentioned it will save me money! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoyingly, the sofa counted me down to 18 minutes, then, without any audible notification, when I next went on to the tab there was a pop-up message telling me that my access had started 5 minutes earlier! The previously "available" tickets seemed to have disappeared again. Lower Slips B10 is currently on general sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Thanks for the videos Sim! I only recognised the middle one “It’s a Sin” which no doubt a hit back in the day! Though probably to Pet Shop Boys fans it’s a sin I can’t recall any of their songs!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Maybe not the ideal thread, but I tried to get in to check availability for tomorrow's matinee once again, and found a waiting time of over one hour! On a Friday. If this doesn't clear by lunchtime, Friday Rush is going to be a nightmare. I'd assumed the ROH didn't usually open booking on a Friday for that very reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Oh. I didn't realise it had only been priority booking the other day. No wonder! Thanks. Turns out my audible alert hadn't been audible after all, and I'm having to queue again. What joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Does anyone know for certain what the ticket limit is for Friday rush tickets? Today for the first time ever I was trying to get 3, having only ever tried for 1 or 2 before, and when I had added the first 2 tickets it was telling me I could add 7 other tickets before reaching the limit but then when I tried to add a 3rd it told me I had reached my ticket limit so I had to just take the 2 I was able to get. I feel like previously I've occasionally sat next to groups of 3 or 4 people on a rush ticket bench so I'm wondering if a) I'm misremembering that & the limit has always been 2 or b) the website was playing up as it so often does.

alison Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I thought it was 2. I am REALLY REALLY getting to HATE Friday Rush! I was in there on the dot of 1 pm, constantly refreshing, but it was 4 minutes past before any tickets showed up. I then realised that that was two of the rear-amphi FR tickets, which meant that all the others had somehow been released and sold without my seeing any of them. So I've missed out again on tomorrow's matinee Ironically, when I twigged that something was wrong and got another computer going a couple of minutes in, it showed completely different availability from the first one. I give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Well, after half an hour of incessant refreshing a pair of rush tickets popped up on the opposite side of the stalls circle to the 2 I had already booked so I was able to nab one of those. I suppose someone had them in their basket then decided not to buy them. Though I am now even more confused about what the Friday rush ticket limit might be. @alison Today nothing showed up for me for about a minute and a half after 1pm & when the rush seats did show up many had already gone so they must have shown up earlier for some people. I was after 23rd so it might have varied for different dates, though in that case I would have expected those for 17th to show up before those for 23rd as occasionally they appear in date order. ETA @alison I don't know what sort of tickets you're after but right now there are a couple of balcony standing & a couple of stalls circle bench seats showing up for tomorrow's matinee.

alison Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Yes, thanks, Dawnstar. Those Balcony B places do my head in - plus there may be some residual trauma from the time the railing collapsed on me I was considering the restricted-view seat, but wasn't sure how accurate the representation was, because if it is accurate I'd lose a lot of the stage. Plus, for some reason, I was only allowed 7 minutes, and it ran out while I was still considering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 @alison Railing collapsed?! If by restricted view seat you mean stalls circle C22 then having sat there once for a Swan Lake it was a bit like watching a tennis match, constantly looking from side to side to try to look round the pillar!

alison Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Yes, I was standing at the end farthest from the stage, and the side railing came to pieces when I leant on it I've never really felt like going there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnstar Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 An update on the discussions about a week ago on tickets listed as available for the last 4 Manon performances but not showing up on the seat map: I see this evening that the number of tickets ennumeratued as available now looks to match up with the number of tickets actually available on the seat maps. So presumably the tickets being held have now been released for public booking. Now if only I had a spare £140 for the oh so tempting front row stalls seat currently available for 5th March.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnstar Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Today's Friday rush tickets seem to be doing their frequent disappering & reappearing act, though given how it happens quite often it's probably unrelated to the earlier maintenence. I got a ticket, though not the one I would have ideally liked, for Monday 26th a couple of minutes after 1pm. A few minutes after that the performance showed as completely sold out. Now, half an hour later, about half of the usual Friday rush tickets are showing as available. I wonder where they went in the intervening half an hour? I cannot believe 20-odd tickets are likely to all have all been held in baskets for half an hour & everyone then decided at the same time not to buy them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always amazed at how well you do on Friday Rush. I have only managed to get one ticket that I have wanted on FR since the Pandemic. I wish I had your good fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you trying to get a rush ticket today? Because I see that right now there are still 2 balcony standing tickets showing as available for 26th, though none left for 27th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
