alison Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 And I thought the ends of the horseshoe were day standing, so what's going to happen about that, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annamk Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 I read the email as saying that there will be no more day tickets in the stalls circle standing area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hmm. That will be annoying. They've already (most of the time) lost the side stalls circle day seats, so if they're going to get rid of the stalls circle standing as well where are they going to get their 67 seats from, assuming they keep that number?

Bluebird Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I just had confirmation from the online booking team that, from the Autumn Season, the number of day places will be reduced and that these 23 day places will not be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Oh great Those are the only day "seats" I can use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) It's good news for the Friends, but I feel for those who can't book so far in advance. So basically, if a performance has sold out or there are only pricey seats left, there is no option but to sit in the very back of the amphi where you can't see much of anything?

RuthE Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Reading between the lines after many years of following the day ticket situation, I believe that the number of tickets currently reserved for day ticket allocation (at least 50% of Balcony Standing, the whole of the Stalls Circle Row C benches and a larger allocation in the rear Amphi, as well as those Row D Stalls Circle ones) is actually considerably more than the 67 they claim will be available, and that the current proposals will reduce it *to* 67, not from. Could be wrong though. It's only since last Christmas that the ones at the end of SC row D have ended up being put online after the morning queue, too. They always used to say they couldn't sell them online as people used to complain that the fairly extreme restricted view hadn't been adequately explained. Why that applied to those places and not the far more restricted-view ones in Balcony B, I don't know. Edited April 17, 2015 by RuthE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, they are not removing all of the stalls circle day seat allocation. As I understand it, the rest of the current allocation of day seats in row C of the stalls circle will still be available next season (C22-26 and 87-91) Of course these seats are considerably more expensive than stalls circle standing (around £20 for mixed bills and up to £35 for full length works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yes, but surely the SC seat allocation must depend on whether the end sections of the SC are in use or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Yes, but surely the SC seat allocation must depend on whether the end sections of the SC are in use or not? Since SC standing places have been included, the seats in the end sections have not formed part of the day seat allocation Edited April 17, 2015 by Bluebird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, they have been when I've looked - unless they just happened to be returns? BTW, welcome, RuthE - I suspect I can guess who you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthE Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks Alison - I've been trying to sign up for the forum for ages but was having a technical problem whereby it wouldn't accept my email address. Had to have the account set up for me by admin. No, the end seats in the first block over the pit are not part of the day seat allocation. The seats in row C there, when available, are for advance booking and very cheap due to the very restricted view. It's the next two blocks along Row C, all of which are permanent seats, which have all been day tickets for the last few years, and half of which are now being converted to being bookable in advance.
