Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I was trying to look for ticket prices last night
You know, this could have been a lot worse, I actually think it's an all right price. I'll hope to be able to get one of the £10 seats.
Am I nuts? after paying my bills £10 is all I have in my wallet. (my aunt is borrowing me money and I've earned some on the side doing other stuff)

I phoned up the barbican, so it's legit. I was too impatient to wait for their site to be updated, as judgement day is Friday. I wanted to make sure I was buying the right tickets!

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
And for people like me who's spending her sparse food budget for August just to buy the tickets there's no way I could buy my way into early access too...

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I don't think you need to worry. He's running the show for 2 months, with each performance with the capacity of under 2,000. You will get the chance to get tickets.

Even longer, nearly three months.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Yes, I read that as long as you can be flexible on dates then everyone should get tickets who want them. I am just praying he doesn't get poorly - my sister missed out on seeing him in Frankenstein at the NT as he was poorly boy. Hopefully lots of healthy living will mean he can survive what is bound to be a gruelling run.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Luckily I have no idea where I'll be next year... so I'll just be happy to get a ticket at all...
I'm keeping my hopes up!
Let's hope he keeps healthy, for his own sake... and honestly, the things I've had to do to afford the ticket I would be heartbroken...

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Yes, I am sure he will do all he can to stay healthy - I think he knows how dedicated his fans are and being the lovely chap he is be the would feel awful if he thought he'd let us down

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
He has Sundays off. 
Joking aside though, I hope he'll be okay too. But like what's been said, he's sensible and I think he knows the limit of what he can and can't do, and he definitely would not have signed up for this if he thought he couldn't do it.
I'm just so excited to see him!

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Luckily he seems to be a very professional man so I hope it will all work out perfectly...
I've just never been lucky... never really been able to afford tickets like that and the times I bought them or had saved up for some stuff happened... I was going to see my teen idols life after campaigning for years for them to come to Denmark... the front singer falls ill like a week before the concert. later I've saved like mad, wanting tickets to see Michael Jackson in London... well we all know what happened.
I feel like this is the moment my life has build up to in a way... don't know why. It just has to happen... and I hope the effects of what I did to get the cash will wear off. Hoping I can forget it...
I need a hug to be honest. A hug and a ticket please.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Come and have a hug, Phantom! *hug*
I'm sure Benedict knows strategies to keep fit and healthy during those three months.
But you never know what might happen... When David Tennant was playing "Hamlet" a few years ago he had to pause for about a month because of problems with his back (herniated disc).
