London Shows Tonight Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still get tickets for shows happening tonight?

Yes - tickets are available right up until the show's start time, but be aware that seating and pricing options will be far more limited the later you leave it.

How do I collect tickets for a show tonight?

You will receive your tickets via email immediately after booking, and can present these e-tickets upon arrival at the theatre.

Are there any last-minute deals or rush tickets available?

Some theatres offer cheap last-minute tickets or rush sales on their websites. But as you'd expect, these sell out very fast, so you'll need to be quick on your feet to grab them. You can also try showing up at the box office on the day of a performance, as there's sometimes a small chance that tickets will be available due to last-minute cancellations.

Can I get a refund if I can't make it to the show?

Tickets are typically non-refundable and non-exchangeable unless a show has been cancelled.
