Theatre tickets with a 50% discount are available

London is a city which is famous for its theatres. Most theatres can be found in Theatreland, in the West End. You can visit famous musicals here, like les Miserables, the Lion King and the Phantom of the Opera.

If you would like to go to a musical when you’re in London, you can book your ticket in advance. However, tickets are very pricy. Starting (!) prices of £ 80,- are not uncommon. You can find more information about shows on the London Theatre Box Office website. You can also book (very expensive!) tickets at this website.

It is less expensive to book your ticket at the theatre itself. Prices vary; they are often around £ 45,- which is a lot cheaper. However, the musical you want to see could be sold out by the time you arrive in London.

The cheapest alternative is to buy last-minute tickets at a ticket booth when you’re already in London. You can buy these tickets on the day of the performance. The only downside is, that your favourite show might be sold out. The official half price and discount theatre ticket operations in London are tkts ticket booths.

• At tkts ticket booths, you can buy most tickets at half price, plus a service charge of £ 2,50
• There are two tkts ticket booths: one at Leicester Square, and one at Canary Wharf DLR Station
• For more information about tkts ticket booths and about what’s on sale today, you can visit the tkts booths website
