Do not purchase tickets before going unless you are completely set on a specific show. Just go to Leicester Square the morning of the day you want to see the show and buy your tickets at one of the dozens of half price ticket places.

I would suggest you visit the booth early (I think they open at 10am or something but ask) since tickets can sell out. The shows they have tickets for can change each day but if you look a day or 2 early you can at least get an idea of prices and what shows might be available.

I wanted to see Wicked in London on the day that I arrive to pass time and I have made contact with someone else from Ontario who is going on my tour and bought tickets for both of us from: londonwestendtheatretickets.com

We new the exact time and show that we wanted to see so that was helpful Smiler You can find all the details and show times at that website

Hope it helps! The people are really helpful when you email and ask questions (they can recommend what would be the best thing to do)

The only thing about waiting until the day is if you have finally decided which plays you'd prefer to see you may not have tickets available

I reckon go on the website and look through the plays and maybe one will jump out at you

Also pre-booking allows you to get good seats and so you don't have to worry about anything but picking up the tickets on the day Smiler

I'm doing the 3 day check out London tour. I got my contiki package and I saw that it includes a westend show on the 2nd night, but the 2nd night for me is a sunday, and i noticed that there are no performances on sundays. Wondering if anyone can give me any insight as to wether I will be able to go see one on saturday (my first night) instead. Do i just talk to them at the contiki basement when I first arrive in London?? Thanks!!
