Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Oh my....
Can't believe my luck this morning...
There is no chance that one single ticket will survive today.
And I was placed No. 29 in the queue this morning and just thought "Nonononono, that can't be, I haven't found the 7400 to go with this number yet..."
Then it was a matter of minutes..

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
when I realized a few minutes ago I didn't leave the queue at the Barbican, I was down to no. 367... So happy I found that other site... there's no way I would have gotten anything this way.
Mrs. House OMFG now that is really, really lucky!
This whole thing is so crazy... I mean... I know how excited I am and all. but OMFG

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Yay, congrats bb!
Solar, it was almost scary. And I was on the road biding my children farewell to a holiday trip with their youth choir and the timing did not fit at all! There was a little meet and greet with some singing and a couple of prayers beforehands in the church and I would never ever appreciate a behaviour like mine this morning. Fiddling with the mobile in the church, I ask you! When it was my turn I just gasped to the kids: " Ohmygodticketsneedtogooutsidewillbebackinacoupleofminutes". And while I typed the booking details with shaking hands the kids already went by to enter the bus: "By then, mum, see you next week" and I just went "Ohmygodjustacoupleofminuteswillyouimcomingimcomingstillwanttosaygoodbyetoyou"
My daughter just smirked, she knows what it's all about. And I could still say goodbye properly, grining like an idiot...

Haha, for someone who wasn't with you in church this morning that sounds hilarious!

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
That´s great, mrshouse! 
And yay, bb got tickets, too! No one disappointed today..
Just for fun I just checked the queue I started on my tablet this morning, and there are still 9404 people ahead of me... 
I feel I shouldn´t have panicked and bought the first seat available, as there were still some very good seats at different dates, and mine is quite in the back now.. but apparently you have a pretty good view from everywhere, and no seat is further than 21m from the stage, so I hope I won´t need a binocular.

I think this is very unfair on the people who bought memberships (I didn't buy one myself, but I'm annoyed on behalf of the people who did!). I noticed that the Barbican was saying that the stalls were sold out days ago, when it was still only members who could buy tickets. I know this is what happens in the theatre world, but I don't need to like it 
.
