Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Me too, yay! And of course, our internet and telephone had to die just now! A technician came last week and again today and I didn't even know I'd have internet. Luckily for me and two friends, it all worked out just in time.
In the end, I got through on the phone (and there still were more than 1500 people in front of me when I left the queue; I started as no. 2340something). It took me two hours altogether and I was drenched in sweat, let me tell you!
It does seem that there are plenty of tickets being held back for later sales, so good luck to all of you who're trying later!

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I just joined the booking queue for the fun of it to see how much traffic there is now. I was at the front of the queue immediately. All quiet on the Barbican front now.

Don't read the readers' comments, though- as usual, they're atrocious. Some people just have too much time...

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Thanks for the advice. I alway get angry about that sort of stuff.

I did watch on one of the dates. Nearly everything booked on the stalls. That's ....

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
Me too. And if it's in German, I also tend to get embarrassed on behalf of them because of the terrible grammar and spelling...

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
There are also German "hate comments"? I thought most of them were by British people who dislike him for being posh.

Oh no, I meant in general. Facebook, for example- it's making my toenails curl up sometimes. =)

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I wonder if they were really holding back tickets.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
I think so. When I booked at least 80% of the stalls were unavailable, if not more. I cannot believe they had all been sold. Then there would be nothing left after the members booked. For example the 10 pound seats must have been shown in grey because they cannot be booked yet as far as I know.

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
That would be ... 
Spending the money on a membership and still no chance to get the seats you want ...

Re: Benedict to play Hamlet on stage
There were still some premium seats available but not very many. And lots and lots of grey seats around them.
