DAY SEATS are normally available ONLY to personal callers at the box office on the day of performance, from the time the box office opens at 10am.*
They are normally limited to 1 or 2 per person.
The monkey always advises taking both cards and cash in case one is preferred over the other. Check with the box office before travelling if this policy is still in operation.
REMEMBER: SITUATIONS VARY ON A DAY BY DAY BASIS, AND ADVICE GIVEN HERE COULD EASILY CHANGE AT ANY TIME.
Also remember that quite often, box offices will try to assist others in line once "day seats" are sold out, and if there is no official policy anyway, box office staff will also do plenty to sell you a ticket.
Unsold "day seats" sometimes turn up online at the venue's official website, or can be bought by telephone from the official box office too.

The list is based on information known AND MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE TO ALL PERFORMANCES.
Also included are productions due to begin performances soon, but which may not yet have opened.

For the National Theatre and other venues that present productions in repertoire, please see their individual listings pages / websites.
ALL details are given in good faith, but Theatremonkey.com cannot accept responsibility for any changes or error, nor subsequent losses incurred.
Also, do note that it can't advise in advance about "the right time to get into line," on any specific day, as it can vary so much, so please use other readers' comments below as your guide!
As a rule, the nearer a show gets to its final performance, the earlier you have to arrive for day seats...

*Remember: Box Office opening times may vary - one reader notes that Ambassador Theatre Group venues may not open until 12 noon on public holiday dates. Also, some box offices may not start selling day seats until 30 minutes or so after they open for business. Please be patient, as staff have a lot to do at the beginning of each day.

Got F3 and F4 grand (upper) circle!! D: Would have cancelled it but I've sorted planned my whole day around it with my friend. Still cheaper than £36 full price and I can't come to a Thursday matinee in term time so... what can you do. I thought there'd be a queue but had no idea it'd be so busy! I feel I've had a run deal compared with the other reports on your site... #summerholidays. 10th December 2015. Arrived 7.15am - first in queue. Approx 10 people in queue at 10am. Got seat B9 in the stalls. 10th December 2015. Turned up at 1.40pm and got seat E15 for £25!! 31st March 2016. About 20 in queue around 9am, about 50 for 10am. 31st March 2016. arrived at 9:15am, 25th in the queue, got row Q seats 8 and 9 of stalls! 14th April 2016. 9.15am.

Thursday 10th October 2016. Arrived 9am, about 15 people in front. At least 30 people in the queue at 10am. When I got to the box office, they offered 2 seats in row Q, to the side. I asked if they had anything better and they said, "they might do later". I came back about 30minutes later, when all the queue had gone, and I asked what time would it be worth coming back later. He said, just wait a moment. At about 11am he called me forward and offered two seats at the end of row E and row B (front row). I took front row. When we got there, two seats next to us were empty, so we moved two seats closer to the centre. I feel bad for the people I'd seen queuing who were in worse seats further back! Maybe at off-peak times it's not worth queuing? NB not holiday or "peak" time. Thursday 5th January 2017. About 18 people at 9:35am in line. Thursday 30th March 2017. 10.35am, got row H.

Prince Of Wales The Book Of Mormon	Stalls row A	21	£20	A 'lucky draw lottery' is held before each performance. At 5pm each evening / Noon for afternoon performances, personal callers at the venue box office can enter their names. Entries will close at 5.30pm / 12.30pm and a draw will take place at that time. Winners must be present when results are announced and bring valid ID with them. A reader in 2016 says that they accepted card payment as well as cash, but still required name ID. This draw is subject to availability. Current odds: about 5 to 1, assuming 100 single people want 1 ticket each. Be prepared to "ditch" if you REALLY want to see the show... Reader Report: 14th January 2014: Over 300 waiting for the lottery (crazy!), and only 1 returned ticket. Reader Report: Saturday in April 2014. Tried my luck 3 times before actually winning it!!

When my boyfriend had already given up, they released 10 more tickets! We got two Stalls row L! Reader report: 26th November 2014: I would estimate around 30-40 people had submitted an entry form. One nice touch from the guys handing out the forms was to look out for people only buying one ticket, pair them up with another 'lottery buddy' and get them both to change their requests to 2 tickets - this doubles your chances and gives you someone to chat to. Reader report: 4th January 2015. Have done Mormon lottery 5 times over the holidays and won twice, although I would say I was definitely more lucky than most.

I overheard the box office lady saying there's usually only 10 tickets. I got offered back of stalls or back of dress circle. The seats in stalls were separate but on the same row, and due to the fact today's show was going to have a visual description in the dress circle, I decided to go for stalls, as apparently they drop down a screen with a visual description in the dress circle, and I thought I would find it annoying."
