Help Needed Suggestions for Cheap London Theatre Tickets

[Rome Addict]

Does anyone have any websites, etc where I can get some less expensive theatre tickets. Some shows now are over $150 per person. Are matinees a better choice? Weekday vs Weekends?

We had success buying same day tickets in Leicester Square. I think we went there noonish to buy tickets for that night. If I recall correctly, there were multiple vendors selling same day tickets.

Will try them. May just have to woman up and pay full boat for Wicked and some of the others.

I guess the traditional booth for half price on the day of the show is TKTS at Leicester Square; there's more of a write-up for cheap theatre tickets at http://www.visitlondon.com/things-to-do/whats-on/theatre/buying-theatre-tickets#JcTfpqSwDXaCuKKB.97

I just discovered that Time Out has some good discounts, you can buy a day in advance. This prevents disappointment in not getting tickets to a particular show. Since it's $24 round trip for us to go into London I want to get my moneys worth and see the show I planned on.
