If you ever visit London and fancy a trip to the theatre it can end up a pricy night out but there are some things you can do to slash the cost of ticket prices and keep more of your money in your wallet.

Pre Book.

If you are going to pre book your theatre tickets then don’t go to the usual expens ive ticket seller like Ticketmaster try one of the discounted online bookers Londontheatredirect.com & Discounttheatre.com offer 50% off some theatre tickets to London Westend shows

And another one to try if your not to fussy what show you see is Lastminute.com which have bargain last minute seats for many westend shows.

On the night.

If you are in London and just want to see anything, then DON’T buy from a ticket tout on the street you will be ripped off and don’t buy from one of the dodgy ‘half price ticket’ booths as they are not cheap. Instead go to the half price ticket booth in Leicester Square Officiallondontheatre.co.uk/tkts where you will get half price tickets.

Buy them off someone.

Seatwave.com is the Ebay of the ticket world people can list and set a price they want to sell their tickets at, except unlike Ebay if something does go wrong they guarantee that they will refund you 150% of what you paid for the tickets
