The Jamie Lloyd Company, whose production of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal runsat the Harold Pinter Theatre from 5 March 2019 for a strictly limited season ending on 1 June, have announced that from Monday 4 March £15 good stalls seats for the production will be released on a weekly basis exclusively available to under-30s, key workers and those receiving job-seekers allowance.
Continuing The Jamie Lloyd Company’s long-standing commitment to accessible theatre, over 300 #BetrayalRush tickets will be obtainable each week, with availability on all performances that follow press night on 13th March.
Jamie Lloyd said: “Having come from a low-income, working-class background, it has felt essential to introduce the work of Harold Pinter (the working-class bloke from Hackney) to theatregoers from all walks of life, including many who have never been to the theatre before, with 25,000 good seats for only £15 across our Pinter at the Pinter season. The Jamie Lloyd Company, Ambassador Theatre Group Productions and our co-producers are thrilled to give more people the chance to discover Harold’s masterpiece, Betrayal, in stalls seats with our new Rush scheme.”
At 12pm on Mondays, customers will be assigned a random place in the queue – to either purchase tickets (max 2 per person), or be notified that all newly released tickets have now sold out.
In the case of Under 30’s booking tickets, both attendees must be aged under 30.
For patrons not eligible for this offer, an additional 250 tickets per performance are priced at £25 or under. Many of these have now sold, but check availability (particularly in the Balcony level) to purchase remaining seats at prices which start at £15.
