I wanted to see legally blonde, but these £10 tickets are they top-priced reduced ones or just the nose bleed seats?

Went to see STOMP yesterday. Very entertaining, funny and WOW. they made music out of everything! I love when they made music using the lighter!! And sand on the floor. Gosh, may be I should start banging my pot while cooking. very very impressive, worthy 10quid for the 5th row stall seating. Loveddd it
ps: Can't wait to see the ever waited LEGALLY BLONDE this coming Tuesday! Another 10-quid show ;-)

Where do you get the £10 tickets from? If you don't mind me asking.

It's on the Bargain Board.

I rang just now and they only have restricted view upper circle row f and G seats left. These have the bar in front and high up. I think it might be worth waiting for another offer with better seats.

I do see £10 offers now and then but most of the time, they are like those seats you described, so I tend not to bother; but if it's stalls seats then it's another story

Well I suppose it depends how early you call up with these offers. I remember way back getting a £10 offer for Avenue Q, and I got marvellous seats and laughed my socks off.

I also went to see STOMP on Monday, and yes, it was amazing and very clever! I too could not believe how much music they made out of everything. There was a lot of humour too, and audience participation. I can understand why some people may not like it as it was non-stop drumming, clapping, etc, for almost two hours and some people said they came away with a headache! But I enjoyed it, definitely, worth 10 squid - we sat second row circle and it was very intimate.

2nd row? Did they throw the water at you??? It's fun isn't it clapping and teasing with them.... but I don't think it'll suit anyone with heart problem...

No, I was in Circle 2nd Row - so could see them throwing water at the Stall front rows - and having a good laugh!!
Not suitable either, if your ear drum echos with high pitches or frequency, like my friend has!

I went to the Garden Comedy Club on Friday night courtesy of SFF, it was quite a small crowd, so I don't think many people took up the SFF offer. The first act was the best, I think his name is Oli, I liked his joke about playing Monopoly with his friend (they are both black), his friend was very upset saying he didn't want to play this racist game anymore, as he got all those nice areas like Mayfair and Park Lane, all the white areas. He complained "Where's all the black areas like Brixton, Peckham etc...", the comedian replied "Yes there's the Go to Jail part"....
It went downhill from there, we had Paul Foot again from a previous SFF standup comedy event. He just shoots from the mouth and his so called jokes have absolutely no punchlines to them and the whole thing ended with a guy singing some very adult songs, by which point the night slipped to a 5/10

I really like Mary J Blige and her songs! but you've just explained why I hate going to concerts and waiting for the artists to come on! 10pm?????? Now that is just being a diva...

We were there, DD came down from Nottingham when she found out I had got tickets. DD said the reason she was late on stage was due to an accident on the motorway which delayed her. I know what you mean about her being late on stage but seems like it was beyond her control, but she certainly made up for it when she was on stage I thought she was brilliant, have loved her music for years but would never p*y £40+ for a concert, so I was really pleased to be able to get tickets for myself, DD and some of her friends. Would thoroughly recommend her concert. I was surprised there were so many seats empty and wonder how many of those taken were the freebie tickets.

I have seen Legally Blond from this row. Yes, they are high up but you can see perfectly well. A great show.

Just found out that Linkin Park are playing 2 gigs at the O2 arena this week. Sure hope that SFF gives tickets for one of them (most likely Thursday).
