TodayTix deals

'London Theatre Week' is back for a second year, and you can bag tickets to top West End plays and musicals for £15, £25 and £35 at TodayTix* until 11.59pm on Sun 15 Mar (extended from Sun 8 Mar). While it's labelled as a week-long event, you can actually book some performances as far ahead as October – though date availability varies by show.

Shows include the new production of Les Misérables at the recently revamped Sondheim Theatre, Endgame starring Daniel Radcliffe at the Old Vic, and The Seagull starring Emilia Clarke at the Playhouse Theatre – see ‘More info’ for the full list.

You can book tickets at the TodayTix website* or via its free app*. Select the show you want to see from the list of ‘London Theatre Week’ productions, and dates that include the cheap tickets will be highlighted. You’ll then be able to select the price band(s) included in the offer – this is clearly marked.

Unfortunately you can’t choose your seats – these are allocated for you, but you’ll be shown which seats you’re given before booking – see how to check the view from your seat before you buy.

The discounted seats won’t necessarily be the cheapest seats in the theatre, eg, £35 seats are likely to be the normally-top priced (non-premium) seats, but there may be regular-priced seats which are cheaper but further back or higher up from the stage.

Examples of top participating shows & discounts

Here are some of the top West End shows included in the offer – see 'More info' below for the full list. We’ve included the cheapest discounted price available and the normal cost if you were to buy direct from the theatre, checked on Mon 9 Mar.

TodayTix won’t tell us how many discounted tickets are available but when we checked on Tue 25 Feb there were plenty performances which had these cheap seats. The discounted tickets won’t be available for every seat or performance, so it may take some trial and error and a bit of pot luck to find cheap seats for the date you want. It’ll help to be flexible with your dates and seats if you can. Some (but not all) shows have weekend availability, and these performances will likely be the first to go.

While this offer should make most tickets the cheapest around for those seats, be sure to compare prices with Official London Theatre, Ticketmaster and other ticket sellers to check you’re getting the very best deal.
