Introduction
Buying London theatre tickets is confusing. There are dozens of websites selling West End tickets and comparing prices is hard work. Online or offline? Ticket agent or official box office? Queue at the TKTS ticket booth, or queue for “day seats” at the venue?
Online ticket agents take advantage of this confusion to add high booking fees. For example the most common ticket sold (Saturday evening £72.50 Lion King tickets) sold by the largest London theatre ticket agent (Encore Tickets, who sell tickets on their own websites and also on behalf of sites such as The Telegraph) includes a 30% booking fee:
If you were to instead walk in and buy equivalent seats at the Lyceum Theatre, you wouldn’t pay any booking fees, saving you £75.20 for a family of four.
This guide will tell you the best place to buy tickets for all the main London theatre shows. But first…
Two Rules of Ticket Buying
Rule #1 – Check for ticket agent discounts
West End theatres are large (the Palladium has a capacity of 2,300 seats), and most shows have 8 performances per week. That is up to 18,400 tickets to sell every week. Some shows like The Lion King get close, but most do not. Rather than face an empty theatre, these shows will offer large discounts through selected ticket agents, or at the “half price” TKTS booth in Leicester Square.
Ticket agents will not add booking fees to the discounted amount either, because they get a kick back from the show. For example if a £50 ticket is discounted to £30, the ticket agent will be paid around £6 per ticket. So no need to add booking fees on top.
Our A-to-Z guide below will tell you which shows are discounted and which agent has the best offer.
Rule #2 – don’t buy full price tickets from ticket agents
If there aren’t any discounts online or in person, then you will have to pay full price. You should buy full price tickets from the theatre box office, not from a ticket agent.
Why? Because the box office adds the smallest booking fees. All ticket agents add on booking fees, sometimes up to 30%. They do this because they get a small commission (if anything) from the show. So they need to add on booking fees in order to make money. Yes, our ticketing site adds on booking fees too.
Note that there have been some recent exceptions to this rule, with some ticket agents (such as Amazon Tickets and YPlan) pricing at or below the theatre. Our A-to-Z guide will advise when this is the case.
A-to-Z Show Guide
We scan all the main ticketing websites so you don’t have to! This guide lists the best place to buy full price tickets for each show, and gives details of discounts when they are available.
- We wanted this guide to be impartial, so we show the best websites to use even if they are run by our competition.
- Day Seats are discounted tickets sold at the venue on the day of the show. You normally have to queue and are advised to have both cash and credit card with you.
- If you find mistakes please email us (info@fromtheboxoffice.com) or comment below.

Yeah, it’s true that it is very confusing to book theatre tickets with plenty of websites available. Sometimes I get tickets at a discount and sometimes costlier even than my many friends buy it at. These tips seem really helpful and honestly, I was much in need to know the trick to get cheap theatre tickets. Constantly for last 4 months, I am buying tickets with no discount except one time in between when my brother got the half-price tickets from Leicester Square Box Office. Thanks for sharing these valuable tips with us!
