I've looked around but there's a lot of them out there. Has anyone had good luck with any specific ones? I'm interested in some popular shows and want to make sure we see at least one show with good seats while we're there.<BR>

The best way to get advance seats for any London show is to telephone the theatre box office directly. They have every seat that is still available and will intelligently discuss with you and sell you the best possible seat. What's more they will sell it at face value with no fees, take your credit card information, and again charge you no fee for doing so, and then hold your tickets at the box office. Why go through another site and get &quot;second hand&quot; tickets at inflated prices?<BR>Go to www.albemarle-london.com for seating charts. Look up the actual theatre box office number on www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk, which is also a good source for other information on the plays.<BR><BR>A phone call to London is not that expensive, and I have yet to ever be put on hold for more than maybe a minute (unlike US ticketmaster and others). Just time your call to coincide with normal day time box office hours in the UK, otherwise your call be end up being transferred to a ticket service instead.

I second Patrick's recommendation. I usually buy my London theatre tickets by calling the box office directly, and I've always gotten good results that way. The people who work in the box offices of London theatres really are amazingly helpful: last year, I called Wyndham's Theatre for a ticket to Vincent in Brixton, and the guy I spoke to spent so much time making sure I got exactly the seat I wanted, you would have thought he was choosing a seat for his mother!<BR><BR>As Patrick says, it's important to call during regular box office hours: I find that if I call around 8 a.m. (U.S. Eastern time), just before I leave for work, that works pretty well.

First of all, most London shows are available every day at the TKTS booth. And most are outstanding seats. But if you feel you must get tix ahead of time, I agree w/ the others. Phone the theatre directly and have them hold your tickets at the box office.

i have very good luck calling ticketmaster's london office...there is a bump to the price but the seat locations are always excellent...

forgot to mention that ticketmaster is 24 hours
