Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I never had the chance to see him before. Not at Hay, not at any con, not during Setlock. So I will come over from Germany just for this and I do not want to leave getting tickets to chance.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I really hope you get exactly what you want, Susi.
Having missed out on Frankenstein, I am definitely gonna try for this.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Thank you. Sorry to hear you missed out on Frankenstein but I trust you could watch it in cinema? I was so glad I got the chance to watch it twice in a city around the corner from there I live.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Also have a membership, for the same reason Susi already mentioned. It's an unbelievable chance.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I've been an orange member for a while and briefly thought about upgrading to red but I think there will be enough tickets available for everyone - even for those who have to wait for the general sale - as long as you are flexible on which date to go.
From my previous experiences with the Barbican I am confident that their online ticketing will be able to cope with the demand, you might need some patience but you will get through. And their customer service is excellent, I usually received my tickets within less than a week and the shipping costs are very reasonable.

So, Hamlet tickets go on sale tomorrow for Barbican Red members. Personally, I'm an Orange member, which means I get to buy my tickets on 4th August.
Did anyone else get themselves a membership just so they could get priority booking?
I plead guilty too...it's a too long trip form my middle of nowhere's village to London for not put every chance on my side to get a good place
