Nah, I'm having to wait for the scubby seats!

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.

I really hope you get exactly what you want, Susi.
Having missed out on Frankenstein, I am definitely gonna try for this.

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.

Oh yeah, seen it 3x NT Live and once at NT Archives, thanks!

Also have a membership, for the same reason Susi already mentioned. It's an unbelievable chance.

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.

They are ready!

So exciting...the whole of Twitter is primed too!

It seems they are just begging for their server to crush.

**Posted by SusiGo** July 31, 2014 9:02 pm

Yes. The server had it coming.

**Posted by SolarSystem** July 31, 2014 9:22 pm

This then is for all the ladies who will be booking tickets quite soon...

**Posted by SusiGo** July 31, 2014 9:23 pm

Helpful? Well … I will try not to look at such pics tomorrow, eat chocolate and fully concentrate on book. For now - thud.

**Posted by SolarSystem** July 31, 2014 9:26 pm

Oh, everyone's a critic.
Chocolate - great idea!

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

Good luck those who will be buying tomorrow! Hope you get the tickets you all want!

Just don't buy them all *winks*
