Haven’t been around for a while everything has taken its toll a little so I kind of distanced myself for a while.
I hope your all doing well, I remembered a little while ago that a lady mentioned discounts on the theatre.
My mum would love to go to the theatre when she is well but she is a little apprehensive. Wondered if there was any discounts you could get and also any other things that mum should be aware of.
If it werent for you ladies on here I wouldn’t know about half the information and things mum should know.
Mum wouldn’t be knowing any of this if it wasn’t for you ladies. I would like to take mum out bit more and enjoying things so its handy to have these links to do the research
If you go to a site called theatre monkeys they give seat plans of all the theatres in london - best seats and prices that should be paid and how many disabled access / spaces etc. also discounted/special offer tickets and contact numbers for them. I’ve booked thro their discount site several times and picked up tickets at the box office on the day/night of the show. Very often you get a box on the ground floor if you need access for a wheelchair/limited mobility etc. Although they’re on the side the view is still ok. Just remember when you are in a box you are there to be seen as well as to see the show! Just like royalty!!!lol! Hope you have a good time!
Thank you for all your information on this its surprising how much information I have found out and its all been helpful. Mums CEA Card has arrived but she feels guilty about using it, she feels she shouldn’t be using it. I am hoping it will get her out abit more, and try and take her mind off things, I know much easier said than done but hopefully she will use it.
Its her birthday on 23rd March so hopefully we can do something nice then, will certainly look at the Theatre monkey site fudgeincornwall - Thank you !!
Mum went to see Wizard of Oz this week she had a lovely time and its treatment this week so she is in a good place ready for that. I’ve heard that sometimes Carer’s go free for Musicals is this right?
I can’t beleive how many things there is that you can get discounts on and this helps because mum can enjoy her time that she has.
Yes, if you have disabled access your carer can go free in some theatres - that’s half price in total. I’m not registered disabled but have had shoulder replacement due to bone mets so can’t use my arm well and my theatre have given me disabled access having seen my medical exemption card and noticing that I was struggling with my bag - so worth asking around
