Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I am trying really hard not to panic about Monday...
There has to be a ticket for me... just one of the days... just one tiny seat...

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
And there are still the 10 pound tickets. But the conditions for those have not been announced yet.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Or as the woman from the Barbican told me via email, after having told her I'd be coming from Denmark... I was always free to show up at the theater and ask if they had tickets that had been returned for that day.
I'd be crazy enough when I do have the cash... If I ever...

This is the attitude I tried to take this morning - I just queued on one device and thought - what will be, will be...there are some pretty awful things going on in the world right now so not getting them would've been hugely disappointing but not the end of the world.
I've seen some people getting quite upset about it on Twitter because they may not get tickets and I do feel for them - I really hope you're lucky next week

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Cheers.
Well it's my poor daughter who will be in the queue for me...
Mind you, when I get in from work, she may well STILL be in the queue...if all the tickets haven't sold out by then!

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Get her to get in line early if possible - I logged on at 6.30 this morning as I was up anyway, and although I still had almost 5,000 in front of me when I was assigned a place at 10.00, I think it would've been much worse had I not gone onto the site until 10.00.
Also, once I got to the last 2,000 places, the numbers ahead of me dropped by 10-20 places at a time, so I think people clearly queue on more than one device, then close them all down when they get through.
Good luck!

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
On Friday booking by telephone was quicker than online. I was in the online queue and telephone queue. Online it took me two hours, on the phone about five minutes. And they are very helpful and friendly.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Getting my daughter out of bed will be the problem.
But as I said to her, whatever time she gets on will be earlier than I can!
I know some folks have been phoning AND going on line.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I understood it doesn't matter when you join the pre-queue, Tinks.
You are placed randomly in the booking queue. Susi joined the pre-queue later than me and finally was 1600 users ahead of me.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Just a question on the side:
Do you guys plan to try and meet up with other people from this board that will go see the play on the same days?

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
As soon as most people have settled their tickets, we should try and make a list, then.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Splendid idea. We could open a new thread for that in the "meet-ups" section and post a link in here so people will find the way.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
So happy for all of you on the growing list of people who's gotten tickets!! Woo!
I finally got a reply from the doctors I work for, it's okay that I 'work from home' on Monday... sure... I can prep some medical lab equipment while waiting in line. Wonder how much I will get done with my jittery hands!
That list is a wonderful idea, could be fun if we could have a major board meetup... if anyone wants to meet a weirdo like me.
