No good for standing room either...

you could try one of those blow up air cushions that they gave out at the BP summer screenings last year, Beate. They deflate to fit in your handbag too (and second as handy weapons to bat divvy cinema staff with).
I wish I had one of them...

Nows your chance -

Go to BP Summer Screening.
Collect air cushion.
Do not stay to watch boring opera, do not collect £200.

Thanks to canadian_turtle's post we had cheap tix to see The Winslow Boy at the Old Vic last night, it was completely brilliant, all cast contributed with Henry Goodman (father), Naomi Frederick (sister) and Peter Sullivan (barrister) on top form. Such a sad story especially knowing that the boy it was based on died in the war.

Do concert tickets still become available?

Within the first 3 days of me signing up here Id had tickets for GNR and NKOTBSB. I actually couldnt believe my luck gettign those 2 as I spend so much on concerts and the future prospect of free concerts was out f this world to me.

There are often concert tickets available, but they're for small venues and generally unknown bands.

There's been about a handful of major artists in the few years I've been using SFF. They do come up, they're just far and few in between.

The NKOTBSB tickets went so fast & were guestlist invite so not that many got them if that's any consolation!

The concert tickets have never been that frequent, but I expect we'll probably get some more at some point.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!
