The Old Vic

Where Is The Best Place In The Theatre To Book Good Value Tickets At The Old Vic?

The two last rows at the very back of the stalls are officially classed as having a 'restricted view' when in fact they offer a pretty good view of the stage and offer good value for money, and while these rows are admittedly quite far from the stage there is very good legroom as a bonus! The other section of the theatre that offers good value for tickets at the Old Vic is in the 'Lilian Baylis' circle where there are consistently bargains to be found.

What Part Of The Theatre Is Best If I Want To Book Premium Tickets At The Old Vic?

Seats located centrally at the front of the stalls section from rows E through to L probably have the best overall view of the stage along with rows A up to D in the dress circle. All tickets at the Old Vic in these sections will be priced at a premium but if it is a completely unobstructed view of the stage that you are after and finance is not a consideration then this is probably where you want to be.

Why Is There A Booking Fee Added To The Price Of My Tickets At The Old Vic?

As productions at the venue tend to be short and strictly limited seasons that often feature big-name actors it is unusual to find any official discount tickets at the Old Vic. Producers of shows naturally want to maximise the profit for each production and if they feel that they can get away with selling all seats at face value then it is not in their interest to offer any reduction in the price to agencies, which is why you will find that tickets bought online through third party websites for this venue often have a booking fee added to the price. Booking tickets directly from the box office at the theatre can be beneficial for productions at the Old Vic as they should be sold at face value only.
