  • £10-£40 West End theatre tickets for Jan/Feb

    £10-£40 West End theatre tickets for Jan/Feb

    Incl Everybody's Talking About Jamie from £10
    Jan/Feb shows

    Official London Theatre's New Year sale is back again, rounding off the year and taking us into 2020 with some jazz hand-worthy bargains.

    You're able to get £10-£40 tickets for more than 50 London shows, for performances between Wed 1 Jan and Thu 13 Feb 2020. As of Mon 6 Jan, there are still almost 76,000 New Year sale tickets up for grabs.

    This year's 50+ participating shows originally included big-hitters such as Disney's The Lion King, Wicked and festive favourite The Snowman, though some of these have now sold out.

    Don't assume that Official London Theatre will be the cheapest around - you should always make sure to price match with sites like From The Box Office, ATG, TodayTix, Ticketmaster and London Theatre Direct to make sure you're getting the best deal.

    Which performances can you get the deal on?

    Here are some of the top shows participating this year (see 'More info' below for a full list):

    • Disney's The Lion King (Lyceum Theatre)
    • Matilda the Musical (Cambridge Theatre)
    • Wicked (Apollo Victoria Theatre)
    • A Christmas Carol (The Old Vic)
    • The Mousetrap (St Martin's Theatre)
    • The Comedy About a Bank Robbery (Criterion Theatre)
    • The Woman in Black (Fortune Theatre)
    • Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (Apollo Theatre) - pictured below
    • The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe (Bridge Theatre)
    • 9 to 5 the Musical (Savoy Theatre)
    • Come From Away (Phoenix Theatre)
       

    Tickets for specific performances are limited, so it could be pot luck finding the show you want on a particular date.

    The cheaper tickets are likely to be snapped up first, so go quick if there's something you've got your eye on. Seats are discounted based on their price tier, so the amount of saving on the normal price will vary per show and per seat. £10 tickets will usually be the cheapest normal-priced seats in the theatre, and £40 tickets will be the top-priced (non-premium) seats.

    For other ingenious ways to bag cheap theatre tickets, see MSE Jenny's blog on The top theatre lotteries.

  • The Lion King 2,000 FREE tickets up for grabs

    The Lion King 2,000 FREE tickets up for grabs

    Online giveaway 12pm this Sun (13 Oct). First come, first served

    The London production of Disney’s The Lion King turns 20 this year, and with this news comes the exceptionally rare opportunity to win totally free tickets – if you’re lucky. At 12 noon on Sun 13 Oct, the show’s giving away 2,000 FREE tickets and a limited number of standing positions to the 7.30pm performance of The Lion King at the West End’s Lyceum Theatre on Fri 18 Oct.

    For a chance to get some, at 12pm on Sunday you’ll need to be waiting on the special Free Lion King tickets booking page (keep refreshing the page until you see a ‘Book now’ button appear). You won’t be able to pick your own seats – these will be chosen for you. Tickets are allocated on a first come, first served basis and limited to two per person.

    We expect this to be a hugely popular deal so make sure you’ve got a decent internet connection, and be ready for the tickets to go almost instantly. Due to how many people are likely to be waiting on the page, it’s safe to assume you are more likely to miss out than to actually get some tickets, but you have to be in it to win it, as they say!

    If you manage to snag free tickets, they’ll be emailed to you about 48 hours before the show’s due to start. You’ll need to print them – it won’t be possible to show the tickets on a smartphone screen. If you miss out, we’ve other ways to save on your West End trip on our London theatre deals page.

      The Lion King is recommended for children aged six and above. Children under three years old are not permitted.

Martin's Money Mantras

Before spending

If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.

Skint? Ask:

  • Do I need it?
  • Can I afford it?

Not skint? Ask:

  • Will I use it?
  • Is it worth it?

Free protection for all shopping!


There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
