Where is this information from, rebecca?

**Posted by besleybean** July 28, 2014 4:21 pm

Barbican site, isn't it?

**Posted by SusiGo** July 28, 2014 4:22 pm

No, the premium prices are not yet on the site.

**Posted by besleybean** July 28, 2014 4:31 pm

Ah...

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 28, 2014 7:21 pm

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)

Not nuts, just dedicated . (Oh maybe, a little bit nuts but I blame Benedict for making us all a wee but crazy!!)

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!

Ah, rebecca, already thought so. Thank you.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 29, 2014 11:06 am

I hope there's any tickets left for me in a few weeks...

**Posted by besleybean** July 29, 2014 11:08 am

I thought they weren't on sale til 1 Aug.

**Posted by gently69** July 29, 2014 11:11 am

That's next friday. In a few weeks general sale has already started, besley. (11 August)

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 29, 2014 11:29 am

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...

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.

**Posted by SusiGo** July 29, 2014 7:37 pm

Even longer, nearly three months.

**Posted by Biggles86** July 29, 2014 8:26 pm

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.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 29, 2014 8:31 pm

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...

**Posted by Biggles86** July 29, 2014 9:04 pm

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

**Posted by rebeccaholmes** July 29, 2014 9:59 pm

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!

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 29, 2014 10:12 pm

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.

**Posted by SolarSystem** July 30, 2014 6:18 am

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).
