(though it probably does mean no chance of stalls tickets through SFF as they're all reserved for press)
The front half of the Dress Circle actually has a really good view (leg room is a bit tight though), we had Row B, I would be happy to sit there again and it's only a small theatre. The box office staff were really helpful looking through to see what seats were available and were the best view for the children without even being asked.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

Good to know! However you guys went to the first or one of the first SFF showings, wonder how helpful the box office will be after a few more SFF nights with people demanding the best seats for free? :shifty:

They are generally quite nice at the Peacock Theatre, I've seen a few shows there, never had any problems.

Oh I'm not saying they aren't but after several SFF shows it can become quite of a hassle to accommodate everyone's wishes I'm sure.

And good that you point out that it's at the Sadler's Wells Peacock Theatre as I was under the wrong assumption it was at sadler's Wells in Islington! *facepalms*

To be honest they took the print out, then told us what seats were available and then advised us which had the best view, so don't think you'll have to much of a problem.

It's at Holborn so good thing you didn't turn up at the wrong theatre. :p

Seriously! I had already made these big plans to run errands before going to the theatre which is only a 5 minute walk from my work opposed to the other one which is probably more like 20 mins away! Damnit, there goes my plans :(
