Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
...but I just read on another forum that they send the tickets only five days before the day of performance. Maybe you should check with them whether or not that's true.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Yay, stoertebeker!! Congrats!!
Regarding the shipping I will get in touch with them, but as they (unlike other websites I tried) don´t automatically send them to the box office when your adress is outside the UK I guess it will be fine.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to see the face of my colleague when I am telling her tomorrow. She is also a big Sherlock and Benedict fan (especially the latter 
).
ATG has some stall tickets left, 62.5 pounds each plus booking fee. I think that is nearly the same price as at the Barbican itself. But they don't have any cheaper tickets, at least I found no date with cheaper ones. So if you are flexible with the date and want stall or circle tickets, you should try ATG. Thank you for the advice, Diva.

That's exactly the same price.
Congrats to everyone who was/is lucky to get tickets today!

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I'm trying to get a ticket for my boyfriend, but I'm not flexible on the date and don't want to spend so much money. So no ATG for me.
I think ATG sells the 'normal' Stall tickets as Premium Tickets, but I could be wrong... it just looks like it on the seating plan.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
That's what I thought, too, Solar, when I checked there. But you definetely have more of a choice concerning dates and it seems to be much quicker via ATG now than in the queue!

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
That's true. And the Barbican have just updated their website to say that their allocation of Stalls and Circle seats are now sold out.

Not quite, ATG also had Premium Tickets for 89 pounds. But I don't know whether they are the same as from the Barbican.
I know, I am lucky that I am able to afford the more expensive tickets. Therefore I hope and keep all my fingers cross for everyone else who tries to get tickets today I am looking forward to share our experiences next year

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
But that's what I meant, stoertebeker. I think ATG calls the 'normal' Barbican Stall tickets 'Premium Tickets' and sells them for the price of the 'real' Barbican Premium Tickets. But if I didn't have tickets for myself yet, I wouldn't give a sh**...

Glad to read you've got your ticket!
But...
...biting the bullet and striking a deal with the devil doesn't sound too well, though. Did you do something more than all the things you already mentioned on here?

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Got a ticket for my boyfriend and was THIS close to being really unreasonable and buy more tickets for a third evening for myself and you-know-who-you-are.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Congrats, Solar! I just read that Hamlet is the most in-demand show of all time.
