West End Theatre Tickets

Im thinking about taking my girlfriend to see Mamma Mia in the west end on thursday night. When I go on ticket websites they are really expensive and for days ages away. Is there a way of buying them on the night? cheers

Many of the West End's most popular shows sell out up to a year in advance. The only official website for the Society of London Theatre (which includes all of the West End theatres) is Ticketmaster. Their site is showing 'currently not on sale' for next Thursday, which is another way of saying 'Sold out':

Any other site is going to add a (very large) premium to their ticket prices. You've got no choice other than to pay the high prices on unofficial sites or to search for alternative dates on the link I've provided. .

Alternatively, if you're prepared to consider another show, your best bet for 'on the day' ticket sales is the official 'tkts' booth in Leicester Square:

This link will give you an idea of what you're likely to find there, but you should note that there are never any tickets for the really popular shows (including Mama Mia!):

i agree ,the top shows do sell out fast ,
i saw mamma mia not so long ago ,its good she will love it and you will ,
for all the shows ive seen in london ,i allways go to the ticket outlets , if you get ther early you will find some ,plus you can spend the day in london .
