I have a blue light card and I can get discounts at ATG theatres for touring shows but it’s always the middle of the week. Tend to get decent stalls for £30ish with that….the original price is nearer to £50 though.

I'm also into Broadway, no idea if there's a separate thread however.
I don't see why it couldn't be broadway too. Tours get mentioned sometimes. Probably more of a general theatre thread
I’ve been going to the Edinburgh panto every year since I was 4, and my mum has been going every year since she was the same age. My grandparents used to pay for all of us (12 in total with cousins) to go. Now I pay for myself now that I’m late 20s
but my mum wants to take us all (7) is year as my niece and nephew are finally old enough to go. My parents can afford it, but the price of how much it’ll cost is making me 
Is this my cue to rant about this yrs awards rounds?lmaooooooooo
I've got the access membership for ATG because of my mum (87, frail, memory like a sieve - we can't go to plays or comedies any more cos she can't follow the storyline)
The deals are brilliant. I got 2 tickets for the Drifters Girl for £25. 2 tickets for Aladdin are £65 - which very good for a Disney musical.
And I do apologise. I think its me that drags this thread away from West End theatre.
How do you do that? As my friend has signed up for their access scheme and when she logs in it gives an option to buy a single ticket for a tenner off.
Ah good shout, my wife has a Blue Light card!
Anyone seen the news about the Bonnie and Clyde tour being suddenly cancelled? It's been announced today.
Posters on TheatreBoard are saying it's a repeat of the Cinderella closing, with current and future cast members finding out via social media at the same time as everyone else, and apparently the current cast were waiting at the next venue wondering why nothing else was arriving!

I’ve just seen this - ouch!! Surprised as it seemed to have a cult following at the West end! Apparently it’s due to poor ticket sales!
Oooft. I saw B&C recently because I got a cheap ticket for a midweek matinee. I really enjoyed it, and thought the cast were great, so I’m disappointed for them. Audience was pretty full when I was there but not sure how much that was down to seat filling sites/discounted group tickets. Such a shame.
Seen a few comments on theatreboard and Twitter that the next cast that were due to start in a few months found out via the What’s On Stage article - it definitely is just like Bad Cinderella if that’s true
Yeah I was booked to see it in a few months time and it hadn't really sold at all at my local venue! I was surprised too as there was so much hype over it.
WTF!! That's appalling - I wonder why they cancelled?

It's cruel to the cast members, they should find out before the bloody press!
Whatsonstage have quoted a statement from the producers blaming 'disappointing ticket sales', which does seem to be true based on what people who have been are saying.
Coincidence with the announcement of the streaming of the Bonnie and Clyde pro-shoot last week?
The cast and creative are all technically employees, it’s awful for them to hear about it via social media

I've no idea - I've attached a screenshot of when I try to buy tickets for a show
Maybe she needs to speak to them to find out why
I think the point mainly for access schemes the companion ticket is free? So many theatres do it differently and it can also change by show. It’s not always the venues that govern prices, it’s the production companies of the shows too.

Also the access scheme asks you whether you need a free essential companion (ie you need help with food, drink, toilet) or if you’re more able generally but still a wheelchair user, then you can have a companion but at reduced price. All of that is in the application form. It’s a long old process to apply for this. My OH said it felt as long as applying for PIP

I just can't believe the Bonnie & Clyde situation and that it keeps happening. I feel awful for all involved, especially the crew who were waiting at the venue to get started only to find out that was that.
There really has to be more effort made to ensure cast and crew of shows are treated better than this, it's pretty appalling and just shouldn't happen.
