Shock and Awe! That is the feeling visitors to London can sometimes experience.
It has nothing to do with grand scale military assaults designed to depose cartoon-style, global villains who in the best Batman tradition are imminently threatening partial world annihilation with mysterious weapons of mass destruction. (Yeah. We all believed that one once). No, indeed. Nothing to do with that, at all. But it has everything to do with the astronomical prices you may be asked to pay for London theatre tickets when you try to book your favourite West End show.
The blurb might promise that you will be reeling in the aisles, but you could be reeling on the ground next to the ticket kiosk when see the price you will have to pay.
Take heart. You can sometimes get value and ticket discounts for the London theatre if you take the trouble to find them. One tack is to try the Leicester Square ticket booth where you can get half-price tickets on the day of the show.
Another choice ... Go and see a Shakespeare play, and enjoy just as you would in the time of Shakespeare - standing. Okay. It's different, but it is also rock bottom cheap. And it is The Bard, after all.
New plays feature in the popular Royal Court Theatre, and on specific week-days ticket reductions and other concessions are available.
Any of these options can save you money for West End theatre shows. To add to that, you may also wish to save some money on a good hotel in London's fabulous theatreland. If so, and you would like to stay in the area, here are the available offers ........
