Hamlet at the Barbican

Tickets to Hamlet with Benedict Cumberbatch go on sale

Benedict Cumberbatch in HamletIt may be a full year till it appears on stage but the Barbican's Hamlet, which will star Benedict Cumberbatch, is already causing a lot of excitement. To be directed by Lyndsey Turner, the production promises to be a "must see" and tickets went on sale today with some restrictions to limit touting and reselling

  • Tickets will not be sent out until 5 weeks before the performance
  • Maximum of 6 tickets per personm across ALL performances
  • Lead bookers name to be printed on all tickets
  • Lead booker must attend with photo ID in order to get in!

Personally, despite the inconvenience, I think that this is a good move and should mean that as many legitimate audience members as possible get a shot at buying tickets without having to go near the secondary market (should that me "mark-up"!). For those unfortunates who can't get there I strongly suspect that there will be a live broadcast to local cinemas ....

Update: Just after the tickets went on sale, Encore had server problems due to the high demand and by the end of the afternoon were saying "Due to overwhelming demand we only have single seats left for this production. We have SOLD OUT of our main ticket stock. To purchase a single seat please call our team and they’ll be happy to help. We are working hard to secure more tickets."

Update: Encore sold out completely by 17:30 ... other suppliers may still have tickets ;-)
