oh and chopped nail polish and emery board for sorting out the nail. Now who's the best person to deal with the complaint

Hello??? I think a proper manicure at a spa!

Well when they last did it there was a booking fee too until they released they couldn't fill the whole place out.
I haven't received the email yet, I am assuming it's standing isn't it? They will see how the uptake is this week and then send more invites out the following week etc.
I want to go but only if it's assigned seating really. My friends hate standing or queuing early to grab a seat.

I copied SFF's incorrect spelling too by mistake! (Onassis)

superhero, you amaze me! how do you know all this? The ticket type is Free Downstairs or Free Upstairs - so presumably if you choose upstairs you get seating? But I assume as it is not assigned, have to queue early, yeah, I would hate that too!

No booking fee but a delivery charge, and no other option for delivery except for this!
Delivery Type:
ticketFast®: NOW (Recommended) (2.25)
The fastest delivery method available, your tickets delivered by
email so that you can print them out yourself!

And this is on the secured payment screen:
A total of £2.25 will be billed to your credit card.
This total includes the ticket price(s), a delivery fee of £2.25,
and a service fee of £0.00.

Well, I think it is shoddy if it is suppose to be a comp win. especially I was told I am one of the lucky winners!

Cos they did the same thing in April! and I didn't go then because of a combination of the booking/delivery fee and first come first serve policy. For films it's okay, but for concerts people queue so early and then stand in crowded conditions, not really my thing although I don't mind too much, but my friend would positively hate it... Queuing for hours and then squashed like sardines

sounds like more of the same this time...I have sent them an email and told them what I thought!

My theory is they need to have constructive feedback, otherwise they would not know they are not doing it properly, or how we could enjoy the RSVO experience!

Has anyone actually said anything good about Knapps Last Tape? I haven't applied for any tickets given how people have been reviewing it as quite boring...

[moondance]

It's got Michael Gambon in it though. That's got to be worth a trip surely.

Definitely worth it.. so much choice tonight, in the end the Gambon / Beckett combination had to be the winner.

Krapp’s Last Tape is just under an hour, for me it’s too short, I was just beginning to enjoy it when the curtain came down...

It's a cosy little theatre, but they need to oil those squeaky seats for a quiet play like this.

And I can't understand how people go to the theatre and leave their phones on! Some woman got a call, apologised, then got another call, apologised again, then got a text! Unbelievable.

Absolutely agree with all of the above - I couldn't believe the phone either and it was extra wierd as it was the same ring tone as the one they usually use in theatres before the play to remind people to turn off their phones!

These were posted around 18 September when the play started.....
I didn't say what I thought of the play but I entirely agreed with thedude. It is in the nature of Beckett and may be not as accessible as Waiting for Godot but good all the same..... it depends what you are expecting but I thought it was well worth it.

thanks for the alert S-B! It prompted me to look at other things that I may be interested in! Just applied for the Ronnie Scott's Jazz Night. Cheers!
