Yes. I did it last friday.

there are 10 seats and 20 standing released at 1030 for each show. plus any returns if they have them (unlikely)


getting there at 9 you might get standing. some of the last of the queue got there around 9. But I would go a bit earlier if i was you as it is the last week. more like 8 if you want to be sure of a ticket. count how many in the queue when you get there, it's max 2 tickets per person.


I got there at 530 and I was 3rd in the queue so I got a pair of seats! but that was quite a crazy thing to do I realise. not as crazy as the couple who had been there since 130am tho.

more people came at 630, then from 7 through til 9ish.


if you do get standing there is a bar you can lean on and the view is pretty good.

the show is fab. Chiwetel Ejiofor is amazing. the rest of them are good too but he is quite astonishingly great.

Hello Nero - I am going to Othello this on Thursday - I really can't wait - have been looking forward to it a long time. Why not call the nice folk in the box office at the Donmar and ask them what time the queue forms. They will have this information and will pass it on.


If you haven't already booked up for the Donmar West End series (2007 - 2008) then do so NOW - that is selling out fast.

We went in January (tickets finally booked after 4 hours trying to get through by phone on the day the tickets were released...) and bumped into friends who had queued (on a Saturday) from 6am to get tickets - they were 3rd and 4th in the queue. I'm sure if you get up that early you'll end up falling asleep during the performance thought... :'(

I would highly recommend membership of the Donmar Warehouse as it only costs from ?30 a year and it gives priority booking. Given that almost all Donmar productions sell out quickly it really is money well spent. I booked my Othello tickets one month before they went on public sale and got the best stalls seats in the house, for the night I wanted them, thus avoiding the frenzy that was the Othello public ticket sale.


The Donmar is incredibly loyal to its "friends". As soon as Othello was announced they closed the books to new members, thus stopping people joining just to get Othello tickets. I was told by the Donmar box office that the bulk of the tickets for Othello went to existing members in the priority booking period and that only a few were left for the public sale. The Donmar could have made a lot of money from selling new memberships if it hadn't closed its books, but it chose instead to look after the existing members.


Call the Donmar Development office on 020 7845 5815 and ask about Backstage Crew membership - ?30 is really good value.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
