Fawlty Towers – The Play Tickets - Apollo Theatre

The Apollo Theatre is a medium-sized West End theatre with four levels of seating and a capacity of 833. Excellent views are available throughout the venue, with limited overhangs from the higher tiers, and steep rakes ensuring good visibility.

Seats in the Stalls offer excellent views throughout, even towards the rear. Premium seats are in the front and centre of the Stalls and the Dress Circle, providing an immersive theatrical experience.

Seats in the front row of the Grand Circle are often sold at a discount and although high up, offer a decent view of the action from an elevated position. Good value in this section can be found one row behind in seats B15-18, as they do not feature restrictions from the lighting equipment. Seats towards the rear of the Stalls also offer a great view on a budget and are ideal for last-minute bargain hunters.

Where Is The Best Section Of The Theatre To Book Tickets To Fawlty Towers: The Play?

The Apollo Theatre has three tiers of seating, with the cheapest seats in the upper circle and the most expensive front and centre in the stalls or dress circle. While not the largest venue in the West End, there are several different price structures in each section, meaning that when looking for the best value, it can be beneficial to study the seating plan closely to look for the cut-off points for each different price range which can lead to substantial savings.

Can I Buy Discount Tickets To Fawlty Towers: The Play?

The theatre rarely offers official discounts, however, prices can fluctuate, and midweek performances during off-peak periods can see a downward movement in ticket prices. Some of the official retail outlets will offer discounts during quiet weeks if they buy in bulk upfront, but this will only happen if the West End is quiet and will require more luck than judgment from a consumer perspective.

Are Upper Circle Tickets To Fawlty Towers Good Value?

They can be. Studying the seating plan before booking is recommended and some seats in this section feature a slight restriction to the view. However, this should be marked for full transparency and priced accordingly. There are no obstructive pillars, so most tickets in this section have a clear view, although you are high up.

Why Do Websites Charge An Additional Booking Fee For Tickets?

As with all West End shows, this will boil down to supply and demand as the producers are in business to make money. If busy, they charge all agents full price for tickets, meaning that online ticket agents running websites have no option but to charge a booking fee to turn a profit. The good news is that if you book tickets from websites that are members of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR), all fees should be visible before purchase, so there are no nasty surprises upon checkout.
