Guest oncnp Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Just now, Mary said: it works if I sign in as a Friend, doesn't show any availability if I just go in without signing in. That doesn't make much sense as it is stopping non Friends from booking at all! For me, it works both ways, signed in or not (ancient PC, Windows 10, Explorer). The ROH IT team strikes again.

Linnzi5 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I just tried on my iPhone and could book using the discount - I used the seat map and all the available seats popped up. No idea why it worked to me, unless they have now remedied the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePigeon Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Where do you enter the discount code? I was just looking to see if it would work on Don Q and can’t see any option to add the code at checkout. They clearly really don’t want me to get a discount....😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you look for a ticket on the seating plan, go to the bottom of the page and it will say ‘add voucher code’ or something similar. Add the code and then go to the seating plan. When you’re selecting a ticket/seat make sure you add the correct ticket price to your basket as it will automatically add the full price one (it gives a choice of reduced or full price and click the reduced option). Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePigeon Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Thank you @Linnzi5. That’s a pretty unusual discount code system! I’ll give it a go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePigeon Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Yes, it won’t work on Don Q unfortunately. I was hoping the discount might enable me to see William Bracewell - under the guise / justification of taking my son - but I’ll have to just settle for the Nunez/Muntagirov I have already booked (and am very excited about).

Alas, no, not for DQ.

Yes, I’m crossing fingers for a deal and I won’t feel too bad about already paying full price as the performance I’m going to is sold out. There are so many seats available still for a Saturday matinee in less than a week, I’m very surprised they haven’t put an offer out - unless they’ll offer discount stalls seats for the Young ROH scheme as I believe they did with Cinderella. Good for you @Linnzi5, if I could afford to book for multiple casts these would definitely be my next choice. I still haven’t seen Bracewell live in a principal role and he’s one of my favourite dancers. I really need to remedy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they offer a deal for the matinee for you - fingers crossed. i do feel bad for going to see two performances, but I will try and cut down elsewhere. I don’t feel too upset about going to see so many casts though - I can’t wait! I have seen him as a principal on a number of occasions and have been absolutely thrilled - I just love watching him dance ( there is something about his dancing that just touches my soul and I can’t explain exactly what it is) and I think he has a wonderful connection with Kaneko, who is also a wonderful dancer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnePigeon Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I totally agree, Bracewell is a beautiful dancer - very lyrical and musical with a lovely, graceful classical technique - and handsome to boot 😁. Don Q isn’t the ballet I most associate with his qualities and I’d probably rather see him in a less bravura role, but I do need to see him dance soon - you never know what the fates have in store. Maybe I’ll grit my teeth, don my opera glasses and sit in the upper amphitheatre with a Friday Rush ticket if they don’t throw an offer my way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be interested to see what Mr Bracewell makes of Basilio. I’d recommend him in Swan Lake - I adore his Siegfried and have seen him in this role quite a few times!! 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePigeon Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Oh drat! I had vowed not to bother with Swan Lake - it’s not a favourite, I’ve seen it enough and I want to save my money for the Ashton triples - but I think you may have changed my mind. Bracewell as Siegfried is a wonderful prospect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, having seen his cheeky, boy-next-door portrayal of Franz in Coppelia with Akane, I have no doubt he will also win hearts as Basilio.

Emeralds Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 9 hours ago, FionaM said: I wonder how long this glitch has been going on … it’ll explain the poor sales!!! The box office could see the availability but not online bookers. This in itself doesn’t make sense. Nor does Mr BBB being able to see and not you or me. Unless it’s a restriction on the view by level of friend (I know I’m lowest level though that doesn’t match my price point!) Both the GODS25 and DUPRE25 work for me even without signing in. Or signing in as non-Friend. I got the availability for the whole house, from Grand Tier to Stalls to Amphi etc. It will give you two prices to choose after you have clicked on the seat and you pick the discounted price. Am also completely baffled as to why it's not working for some. Do you have another device you can try on? (Usually it's me that gets the glitches.)

I have no idea what that is or how to do it. In any case, the ROH should not put would-be purchasers through an obstacle course if they want sales. This ‘blame the customer’ approach is typical and unacceptable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
