Hamlet

[moonlettuce]

So, you know that David Tennant and Patrick Stewart are appearing in Hamlet in Stratford, yes? And that it sold out, like, instantaneously, yes?

And you also know that it's moving to London for a run at the Novello, yes? And that the tickets for it don't go on general sale until September 12th, yes?

Well, it turns out that they're already on sale if you're a member of the RSC.

Guess who joined the RSC yesterday and just happened to have 13 15 tickets fall on to her credit card today...

*whistles innocently*

Saturday 3rd January 2009, Novello Theatre, £30.

So, temaris, lost_house (and M), alyse, the4ts, beren_writes (and R), thwax, seiyaharris, saffronra, mandragora1, klo_the_hobbit, solittleshame and mattimooz, you guys up for it? ::grin:: (I sort of totally assumed you would be and just booked the tickets under that assumption, but if you don't want them, I'm pretty sure I can do something with them ::grin::)

Oh, yes. I'm up for it ;)

If you do have problems getting shot of them, I'm sure L at work is still interested in going. Not that I think you'll have problems getting shot of them :)

It looks like getting rid of them may not be a problem, since I just added two more to the booking ::grin::

*laughs giddily* Well I clearly can't go to Canada now! *dances wildly*

... I am so tempted. Seriously tempted.

Do you know if the early sales are still open should I... say... get a membership today?

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Pre-sales stay open until the tickets go on general release on September 12th. If you join as a member (£36 for the year) then it processes overnight and you'll be able to ring them for your membership number tomorrow and then book tickets.

Basically, you need to wait a day before you can book after joining.

Plane ticket: $700
Hostel: $250 (for 5 days, cheapest plane fare, plus it's silly to go just for the play and not spend any time in the city)
Food: $150 (if I'm careful)
Ticket & Membership: $130
------------------------------
Total: $1230 ...which is pretty low for a week overseas (though I usually make my weeks last 9 days, so it's not that low - I'm just trying to convince myself it's worth it. It has been so long since I've crossed the Atlantic.)

Dude, yes!! :D (and should you need to get rid of an extra one at any point, then Rachel will gladly take it off your hands!)

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to see if I can get an extra ticket for her?

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

Dude, I am SO THERE!! *glomps*

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

::grin:: Thought you might be ;)

[mattimooz.livejournal.com]

Any chance of a ticket for moi? *would love you forever and ever* if you need funds first can do.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

I've just rung them and added a couple of extra tickets on, so welcome to the party ::grin::

[beren-writes.livejournal.com]

We're in (me, Soph and Rob), thank you so much for thinking of us. How would you like the money?

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Hee! I thought you guys would be up for it :D

Cheque is fine, or bank transfer if you prefer :D

I was talking to Tem and we were hoping that day would be okay with it being near your Mum's birthday, but this Saturday had the best seats. (Upper Circle, rows D & E, in the middle, if you want to know.)

[parthenia14.livejournal.com]

I'd be interested. *looks shifty*

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Are you still interested? Because I have a ticket if you want it.

[the4ts.livejournal.com]

You've already persuaded me *g* It takes some doing to put me through the trauma of that again!

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

::grin:: You know you want to really ;)

[xandutch.livejournal.com]

I am so screwed. *is depressed*

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

::hugs::

[davidbrider.livejournal.com]

Any chance of you still having a couple spare, cos m'girlfriend and I'd love to go and see it!

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Sorry, all of the people I'd bought tickets for have all said yes, so there's no spares at all.

[mandragora1.livejournal.com]

Just got back from (very, very sunny, not to mention very, very hot!) Rome. If you've still got a ticket going spare for me, oh yes please!

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

::grin:: Dude, it was never a spare unless you said no. It had your name on it from the very beginning ;)
