I ordered 3 Tickets

I ordered 3 Tickets. Each ticket had to be paid individuelle. That was cumbersome and lengthy.

Hi Angelika,

Thank you for your review, and sorry to hear about the issues you were having making this booking.

SeatPlan aggregate deals via our trusted ticketing providers, which means that our maps show tickets that the theatre supplies to these ticketing providers. When this notification pops up it is a rule set by the venue itself, requiring that the seats be purchased individually - for various reasons - and we unfortunately cannot override this on our end.

It doesn't look like we have an email from you in our help@seatplan.com inbox, but if you’re ever experiencing an issue on the website, please don't hesitate to get in touch so we can assist in any way we can.

We appreciate how frustrating this must have been, and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience.

Kind Regards,
Team SeatPlan

Helpful human (not chatbot!) on the end of an email who totally sorted my problem

I had a panic about not having an email for a group booking of tickets which cost a lot of money. I was very frustrated with a chatbot which told me to call a number which is now closed. Desperate, I emailed the address for help supplied by Seatplan and it was picked up quickly by Nic who was very responsive, helpful and human. I discovered that I had two accounts under different emails. The problem was sorted and I felt I was not alone. Thank you, Nic!

SeatPlan is absolutely brilliant

SeatPlan is absolutely brilliant! The website is easy to use, and I love being able to see real photos from other theatre-goers before booking — it really helps you pick the best seats. Everything from choosing tickets to receiving confirmation was quick and straightforward.

I’ve used SeatPlan a few times now, and it’s always been a smooth and reliable experience. Great service, great prices, and a fantastic idea for theatre lovers! Highly recommend. 🎭👏

The photos of each seat is while making a seating selection is an invaluable service. They get ten stars for that because almost always they have a photo. When purchasing tickets, the website interface with customer '/ the electronic delivery of tickets needs to be smoother. So five stars overall.

Great booking at short notice.

Had a spare afternoon and booked tickets for Shakespeares Globe via Seatplan. Website very clear and good choice of seats at different prices. Very easy to book and instant despatch of ticket via email. Great production of a complex Shakespeare play.

Always check the actual theatre website first

I bought tickets to see a very popular west end show from SeatPlan, under the claim that they were offering the best seats at the lowest prices. This is not the case, on checking the actual theatre website, tickets were not in the better seats but cheaper! I was very upset that I had paid £10 more per ticket and that I didn't get the best seats available at the lowest prices!

Hi Sharon,

Thank you for your review. We’re very sorry to hear you were unhappy with the price of your tickets on this occasion.

At SeatPlan, we aggregate deals across the top UK ticketing suppliers to ensure the best possible price based on availability. This means often including offers that are not available when buying tickets directly from the Box Office, as can be found on our discounts page and our last-minute page.

Ticket prices are set via our ticketing suppliers, rather than through SeatPlan, and we always show the lowest price available to us from our suppliers. On occasion, the price of tickets available through our suppliers does differ from those available at the Box Office directly, and whilst this means that our ticket suppliers can offer discounts that the Box Office may not be able to, it also sometimes means that these prices may include additional fees that are not applicable when booking directly. SeatPlan always includes the cost of any booking fees within the price of the tickets, so that you’re not hit with the surprise of additional fees being shown when reaching the checkout - which can sometimes happen when booking directly from a venue. If you’d like to discuss this pricing structure further, we’d advise contacting the ticketing supplier for your order, whose details can be found on your confirmation email.

As with any online purchase, these prices and offers can fluctuate and occasionally there are sites who may have a better deal than us on a given day. Sometimes the discrepancy comes because the tickets you purchased one week are then reduced the following week through an offer, and this can make it seem as if the pricing has been discounted or inflated. Much like checking Amazon for a laptop one day, and the price changing the next. A quick comparison always helps to ensure you get the lowest price available to you at the time.

We pride ourselves on our mission of making theatre more accessible while helping bookers find the best seat views, and we’re sorry you were disappointed with the price paid on this occasion. We hope that features like our interactive seat maps and view-from-a-seat photos mean you will still consider booking with us in future.

Kind Regards,
Team SeatPlan

Must have

I’ve purchased a few tickets and I’ve found they come up trumps on pricing and viewing the seats. You also can gain points if you take pics when you first arrive before show starts of the view from your seat. I’ve seen starlight express, magic mike and moulin rouge and I’m going to see in January Cirque Soleil: Ovo
