How Can I Book Cheap Mamma Mia Tickets?

Due to the natural feelgood nature of the show and the much-loved singalong ABBA songs, tickets for Mamma Mia will always be in great demand at weekends and during school holidays so it is best to avoid them at these times if you are searching for bargains. There is value to be had for Monday - Thursday performances in all seat categories with stalls and dress circle seats sometimes selling for as little as £30 on certain days during the dark winter months. If you are not fussy about dates and check availability regularly you are certain to find good value at some point.

Are There Any Seats For Mamma Mia That Should Be Avoided?

There are four tiers to the Novello Theatre and the difference in the different price bands prices can show that not every seat can be considered to be 'good value!' There are some restricted view seats for Mamma Mia in the upper circle and balcony that can sometimes sell from as little as £15 and there is a reason for that! If you look at the difference in price between these seats and the ones situated around them it should give you an indication as to exactly how bad those restrictions are.

Where In The Theatre Are The Best Value Tickets For Mamma Mia?

This is very much a matter of personal taste as to whether it is more natural for you to sit in the stalls looking directly at the stage where the best value financially will usually be found slightly to the sides or the rear of the theatre, or whether you prefer to look down from an elevated position in the dress circle where the value is usually found from the rear of row H. Buying Mamma Mia tickets in these sections for midweek performances outside school holidays can produce substantial savings and there is nothing at all wrong with the view.

Is It Possible To Find Discount Mamma Mia Tickets Online?

The short answer to this is yes. It will always depend on how busy the West End is on that particular day though so you will need to check online for discount tickets to Mamma Mia regularly to get the best deals.

Is It Best To Book Lastminute Mamma Mia Tickets Or Should I Book In Advance?

This is not an easy question to answer as it all depends on the availability for that particular week. The producers of West End shows tend as a rule of thumb to add discounts about a week in advance (although this is not an exact science and not always the case) but also by definition the later you leave it the less ticket stock there is to choose from! If you are going to see the show during peak times such as weekends or school holidays then it is advisable to book in advance to secure the best seats available as it is unlikely that tickets to Mamma Mia, which is still a hugely popular show will go down for these performances. If you are a bargain hunter booking off-peak during quiet weeks then buying last-minute tickets on the day whether it is online or through the shops in and around Leicester Square can bring big savings if you look for them.
