Tickets to Billy Elliot

The Victoria Theatre sells the entire front row and half of the second row as restricted view. This simply means children cannot see the actor's feet. The tickets are rather limited and sell out quickly for 20 pounds - one third the price of the standard seats. People sitting behind us and next two us had paid 60 pounds per ticket. We bought our tickets two days before the show. My seat was at the very end of the row and I had a fantastic view. You could see the sweat flying off the actors. Also - I was able to peer directly into the orchestra pit.


They are very strict about taking pictures due to the flash disturbing others. Most people heed the directions - but one lady in front of us was challenged - the guard made her show him the pictures and delete them. Shame on her.
