Not yet, would like to, be a good date night with the Mrs but cash strapped, in time definitely. Not sure how much a ticket is to be honest.

You can get them cheaper than if you avoid Friday and Saturday - yesterday you could get seats on Monday 19th Dec for £55, "dance floor" tickets (I assume the doublespeak term for "standing") for £54.

I am thinking of going. £55 seems manageable - a lot of west end theatre costs that.

Edit - tickets in March for £32.

Table seats for Cabaret are £375 - though that does include dinner and drinks - on Saturdays.
Even my 6th row stalls seats were £150
Long time since best seats were 55 quid in the west end

I'd like to go, by the way.
I know lots of people who have and they all rave about it
Also - I often see the returning crowds on the Elizabeth line and they are BUZZING.
It looks the best fun
I have seen hologram shows and they are remarkable

I don’t think I have ever bought the best seats for anything - I get the ones I am willing to pay for.

We could have a March footy at the ABBA gig.

You guys are lucky. Is London the only appearance?

If I could still travel, I'd go. I paid good money to see those Elvis live film concerts, this ought to be even better.

It's in London for the foreseeable future. However the whole venue is purpose built and transportable. I assume it will move at some point.

Hope it comes to Copenhagen, then I'd definitely go. I thought I was done with concerts, but with this one I'd make an exception.

I think that although it's transportable it's meant to be a long term placement. I would've thought Paris/New York would be the type of places they would be looking at.
