Savings on top shows can be hard to come by, but if you\u2019re keen to find theatre tickets for less, don\u2019t fret. We\u2019ve got you covered. In this guide we\u2019ve compiled all the best sites to save on top-rated theatre performances, immersive experiences and more attractions from around the country \u2014 from London\u2019s West End to Manchester, Glasgow and beyond.<\/p>\n

First, we\u2019ll start with some advice. While this guide offers the best sites and methods for saving on theatre, plus some great deals, there\u2019s also an element of luck and timing involved. Every show has a limited run in its given theatre and if you\u2019ve got a particular show or genre in mind then your chances of getting cheap tickets will be impacted by how in-demand those tickets are and how much of the show\u2019s run remains.<\/p>\n

Another top tip is to do your ticket shopping last minute. Sometimes if a show hasn\u2019t sold enough tickets and there are lots of seats remaining, prices will plummet for last-minute buyers.<\/p>\n

Also, if you\u2019re willing to take a gamble on lesser-known shows, you can pick up tickets for next to nothing by joining seat-filling ticket schemes. Organisations like Play by Play<\/a> and Central Tickets<\/a> charge membership fees or a small handling charge, but will occasionally offer cut-price entry to an eclectic selection of shows. Unfortunately, these only cover London and you won\u2019t get to choose which shows you are offered.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for London shows and can trot along in person, it\u2019s worth checking out the TKTS booth in Leicester Square, which often offers cut-price tickets.<\/p>\n

Finally \u2014 and perhaps unhelpfully for some \u2014 it\u2019s often cheaper to find theatre tickets outside of the capital. While some of the UK\u2019s most renowned shows are put on in the West End and around London, the UK has a thriving theatre scene and there are fantastic shows to be found wherever you\u2019re based. Now, let\u2019s help you find them.<\/p>\n
