Thanks Lena and Harry. I just went on their website and it says tickets are available from 10:00 on 28th June. That's today. I've asked them to e mail me when tickets go on sale, but I'll ring the theatre tomorrow anyway.

Hi all-I just phoned Ticket master today [Thursday] and they said tickets will be on sale Friday--although some might be on "Presale" elsewhere whatever that is !!
I am going to phone Beck theatre later.

Hi Edgar-I managed to get through on my mobile after shopping today--I think I have also got front row centre--at least I think I have :oops: :oops:

I was a bit dazed at the time, after just doing my weekly shop, and Sainsburys was so hot

Hope you got something nice and cool for your tea. It's blazing hot down here! Think it's the same with you.

Hi Edgar--you are not going to believe it, But Harry and Lena are 20 and 21, and I am 22. :!: :!: . Considering we all booked separately at different times from different places that is amazing. As they told me 2.00 I did not get to phone till nearly 2.30.

Is very hot here again today, and looks like that for tomorrow---often happens Wimbledon fortnight---or it goes to the other extreme and pours buckets. Now Tim has been knocked out, I have no enthusiasm for watching Wimbledon now.

See you at the Beck Theatre--isn't it exciting :!: :!:

I want to order my ticket soon, but the seat being offered is in row E, and I usually prefer to be a bit further back.

Is it true that you have already received your ticket in the mail? That's surprising. That was quick.

I don't know whether to have mine delivered by overseas mail or pick it up at the box office. Here's the description on the ticketmaster website.

Customers in other countries: by Overseas Mail £3.50 For International orders only - Your tickets will be mailed to your billing address and delivered no later than 48 hours before the event in a plain unmarked white envelope.
Customers in other countries: by Box Office Collection £2.75 For International orders only - Tickets being held at the Box Office can only be retrieved by the card holder with the original credit card used for this purchase. Please also bring your booking confirmation number.

The "no later than 48 hours before the event" worries me because I'll already be in London 48 hours before November 20. But you have already received your tickets, so I may get it soon. Does the pickup at the box office work? I'm not sure we have that option in the U.S. I'll probably go with this option and save 75 pence! And I'll be at the theatre early for the Fans Reunited event.

I'm surprised there isn't a higher service charge added besides 2.75. In the U.S., sometimes the service charge is up to 50% of the ticket price.

Yes Paul--my ticket came this morning, and I only phoned yesterday afternoon. They are not always this quick-I am still waiting for concert tickets that I ordered in April. I have always had mine posted, so have no experience of collecting at Box Office.

My last set of tickets had £5.00 added on each one--10%--I thought that was a lot, but now I can see maybe it was not too bad.

I have to admit that you will probably get better sound a few rows back--but I like to be near the front.

Yes, me too and they only charged £1 extra for delivery which I thought was very good.
