It’s Never Been Easier To Get Your Theatre Tickets

tumblr_inline_nu7rhaum1K1rgiv1h_500I’m often asked by friends and workmates why I’m so passionate about theatre and what got me hooked on going to see shows. I normally just turn the question back on them with whatever they are passionate about (live music, football and food are common denominators). Recent events in my home life have led to me thinking back to early theatre memories, going to The Kings in Southsea and The Mayflower in Southampton with my parents… having to send a stamped addressed envelope to the theatre with a cheque for the tickets.
How things have changed… These days a quick google search will bring up dozens of options for buying tickets, you can purchase through most productions websites, Amazon are in on the act and my fine friends atMyTheatreMates can help you out too (check the link here).
tumblr_inline_nu7rhoHNS01rgiv1h_1280There’s even an app specialising in a more last minute theatre buyer.TodayTix, http://www.todaytix.com, only offers tickets for the forthcoming week, updated daily. It’s a great little app and has made waves in New York. When it launched in London I was interested in seeing how it worked and thanks to the fine folks behind the app I was able to use it to see Miss Saigon on Thursday (review to follow). The app was wonderfully easy to use and  I was pleasantly surprised by the range of shows available in the West End and beyond.
It’s brilliantly easy to use and as well as offering ticket purchasing, they’ve teamed up with the producers of Kinky Boots and the Adelphi Theatre to offer a daily ticket lottery and the first e-tickets in the West End too.
So, if you’re planning on a trip to the theatre I’d heartily recommend you hit up MyTheatreMates to book in advance, but if you get the sudden urge to see what might be available go check out TodayTix!

"Certain games you look to, maybe against like the likes of Cardiff or Sheffield or Nottingham" - Josh Roach looks to the season ahead for the Belfast Giants

With player announcements in full flow, CHL fixtures next month and the Elite League season hot on its heels what better time to get back to chatting with players on what they are up to and their thoughts on the season ahead. Fresh off announcing his return to the  Belfast Giants we caught up with Josh Roach . “We're starting to get close to that pre-pre-season time, so I’m enjoying a little bit more relaxing before we get back into it… it won't be long.” Roach tells us, before sharing how he has spent his summer. “I was home for a quick visit right at the end of the season and then we went on a little holiday, but other than that I've just been on the island. It's kind of nice to have some downtime in Belfast and explore around here a bit more.” “You don't really get the opportunity many times to stay for summer in the place you play, so you get comfortable. This is year five for me, so it is really is like a second home and honestly, it feels more weird t...

Forty Years On @ Chichester Festival Theatre

Alan Cox, Richard Wilson & Jenny Galloway Alan Bennett ’s Forty Years On is a curious play. His first outing as playwright (back in 1968) is charmingly eccentric, wonderfully witty and every bit a Bennett play. In fact it comes across as if the History Boys stumbled into a production of ‘Oh What a Lovely War’ and decided to join in the fun.
