London is famous for theatre, and London theatre tickets for plays, musicals, ballet, opera, and other events are generally easy to get. Most London theatre tickets can be purchased in three ways:
London Theatre Tickets Online – Most London theatres have websites where you can buy tickets directly or through a ticket broker. For good deals on theatre tickets, you can also check sites like lastminute.com, which often has discounted London theatre tickets.
London Theatre Tickets at the Theatre – Most London theatres have box offices that are open during the day and just prior to performances. You can stop in at any time and purchase tickets. Some theatres sell rush tickets at a discount just prior to the show, or have a returns queue where people can wait in line to purchase tickets for sold-out performances. Check the theatre’s website for opening hours and prices.
London Theatre Tickets in Leicester Square – The TKTS Booth at Leicester Square (formerly called the Half Price Ticket Booth at Leicester Square) is a building right in the middle of the square that sells tickets to most of London’s theatre shows.
If a show is sold out, try asking your hotel concierge if they can get tickets for you. Sometimes they are able to procure London theatre tickets for sold out shows.
