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

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
