I intend to queue tomorrow for NT tickets for "Much ado about nothing". 50 / 100 seats are always reserved for sale on the day of the performance.


can anyone advise on what time I should be in the queue by. I really want to see Simon Russell-Beale and Zoe Wanamaker as their performances have been praised by friends and critics.

The queue at the NT is always very civilised. You need to phone the box office and ask what time to arrive as it varies from play to play. It's normally never earlier than about 8.00am. Box office opens at 10.00. Sometimes you just need to be there by the time the box office opens. Give them a ring - they will tell you


The first people to arrive usuually get row A in the stalls. After that it goes to circle and then after that to standing. Row A stalls is nice (if a bit close).


They do get returns all the time though so it's worth keep checking the website.

Thanks for all the advice. Update.


The were just 30 tickets for "Much Ado" plus some returns.


Arrived at 07.10 this morning - first in the queue, but quickly joined by 3 or 4 others. By 7.30 / 7.45 there were about 10 and by 8.30 over 20 / 25.


As giggirl said - it's very civilised. Everyone friendly and chatty - I learnt a bit about conservation in Mauritius, discussed wedding presents, government grants to business, Nunhead cemetery and cycling to work. The more experienced queue'rs had fold up chairs and rugs, which I would advise. 2.5 hours on your feet in the cold is pretty uncomfortable, my flask of coffee was important as was a good book / newspaper, a bacon sandwich would have gone down well if I'd thought ahead. Doors opened at 09.30 and, as first in the queue I picked up two ?10 tickets right in the centre front row. It's

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
