The Donmar releases day seats on the day but often these are standing places at the back of the circle (the circle is only 2 rows deep so that's not as bad as it sounds). You could queue for these but - be warned - the queue often starts early if the play is popular.


Even as a Donmar member I struggled to get tickets for this play - I got my 2 member's seats but not for the day I wanted.


Really sorry Mick but I wouldn't rush to the secondary market if I were you as it is full of sharks. There is a guy who I bought two tickets from for Streetcar last year after I gave mine to a friend (aren't I nice) and they were pretty good seats at an OKish price. I can dig out his details for you. I'm sure he's connected to the venue in some way and could get fired but needs must I suppose.


BTW - the really big draw for me for this play isn't Jude Law but the truly fabulous and breathtaking Ruth Wilson.


Does it have to be 3rd Sept?


If I can think of a way to help I'll PM you.


Take care.

The Donmar sells day seats on the day so you can always get in to see something. Tickets go on sale at 10.30 but the problem is that the queue can form very very early if the play is popular. For Othello a few years back people slept outside overnight - every night.


I recommend you phone the box office and speak to the guys there - or even pop in. They are very helpful. Once the play starts its run they will be able to tell you what time the queue starts for that particular play. Also, they'll be able to tell you how many standing places and how many seats will go on sale every day. It's only a handful - hence the queues.


Hope this helps and good luck.

    • There were three vans marked “External Cleaning Contractors” (or words to that effect) outside the Grove Tavern this morning, with blokes who seemed to be looking the place over. Anyone know if it’s going to be scrubbed up? Would this be an end of lease requirement, to hand it back without graffiti and fly posting?
    • the companies issue a phone click on qr code to give you guide price - however, they seem to work more on an algorithim of what works for them, so after a few books, they suddenly go 'no' until they get one they absolutely want - they buy for pence - so you need a lot of books, then they go through them and subjectively tell you the ones which are not up to scratch, but having bought also from the same company, they do not necessarily send out 'good' stock - you must pack them, they give the labels and then they collect.  I think there is room for a more honest competitor, but I am sure it is a difficult business, built on inventory and algorithims rather than buying 'books'.  Would be interested in hearing in more detail about the venture.
    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
    • You have an opportunity to set up a scheme to buy people's books,do you mean? And you will pay someone a huge amount to be allowed to set up the scheme? I don't understand. Is your final sentence unfinished? I buy a lot of books secondhand. If there's a particular book I want I always google to see if I can get it secondhand first. Quite often the book I get looks virtually new and unread, but much cheaper than if I had bought it new, even at a reduced new price. There are loads of places online with a huge selection of secondhand books. At least one of the websites  sells them via a number of different secondhand booksellers who all apparently  gain potential customers via their search online for a particular book. But I also give away a lot of books, either to friends or to charity shops (especially the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill).  It would be a huge hassle to send them somewhere like you are suggesting, especially if you have to put in the details first. I suppose at least these days you can easily google to find out if any of them are worth anything. When my dad died, on behalf of the family  I took a carload of his books to Hay on Wye (I lived not far from there at the time) plus some of my old childhood books. They cherrypicked the ones they wanted and wouldn't take most of them, and I strongly suspect I wasn't given anything like they were worth.
