If we wait until we are in London to purchase our tickets to The Mousetrap will we pay more than ordering over the net?

Will we perhaps save the £9 booking fee?

We arrive early Thursday morning and plan to spend the day just organizing so we could go and purchase our tickets that day for the Monday performance.

Anyone know how this works?

If you go directly to the St Martin's theatre box office you'll save the booking fee.

Thank you! We'll definitely go on Thursday and hope there are still good seats available....we can go Friday or do a matinee.....we're pretty open so it should work out.

Unless I am terribly mistaken, I would say that there is a good chance of getting half price tickets---or whatever the current discount is--When we went, we bought ahead and discovered that we could have saved a bundle.

Mousetrap tickets are not sold at TKTS. The show doesn't participate in the TKTS 1/2 price scheme.

Be wary of sites claiming to sell Mousetrap tix at 1/2 price. There are some discounts to be found - but they tend to fill the place w/ theatre parties and such.

Q- why are you getting Mouse Trapped?

socialworker

Thanks for the correction, janis......perhaps I was just remembering that there had been no need to buy them ahead and pay the service fee, as there was liberal availability of seats.

Timlin

They are not listed in the 1/2 price shows.

It is a bundle to save if you don't have to pay the booking fee. For us that's about $36 total.....well worth waiting and picking them up while we're there.

Thanks everyone!

Mouse Trap has never ever i believe sold ducats thru 1/2 priced Tkts thing or anywhere else

I'd be amazed if The Mousetrap was ever sold out.

You should be fine just bowling up.

My friends and I saw The Mousetrap on our summer European trip during college in 1972. Not surprised to hear they aren't selling out every night.

I still remember who done it.

Timlin

Nikki......we both had a good laugh at your post. 35 years and still remembered.......not bad repayment for your $$

Nikki

Sure, especially considering how few $$ (or £&pound we paid. We all wrote down who we thought was the murderer at the intermission and then looked at the papers at the end. We were all right.
