Lizbie1 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I just managed to get a single ticket for Elite on the 7th - there was at least one Stalls single available as well when I looked. It is worth checking back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a typo (or a family/bubble ticket?) but, if correct for a single seat, I'd better be able to take the Prince home with me. if the prince was Vadim I'd pay the £600 to take him home with me! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl H Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Are there 2 completely different programmes, or is the the same excerpts with either Elite or Golden Hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangorballetboy Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Just to mention that the ticket limits on the Elite and WTGH programmes has now been lifted. Booking for Nuts has been pushed back a bit "to allow for family bookings and greater flexibility for ticket buyers in a socially-distanced auditorium".

J_New Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Thanks, BBB - I had that email too, but when I tried to get extra tickets it still said 'you've reached your ticket limit'. So maybe it's taking time to get that onto the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that all the dates for Nutcracker had changed, you have to be careful to note that actual time of day too, e.g. ordinary Friends is 4pm 10th November, sounds fun.

They've given themselves an extra week (originally 3 November at 10am for me) so hopefully they'll get it sorted out. Some consistent information would be helpful though. Casting would be even better but not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oncnp Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The ever dependable Graham Boland, ROH Customer Services Manager (lovely person, always replies promptly) has said the e-mail time is correct.

Bluebird Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Lizbie1 said: Sounds like they've used US Eastern time by accident. I think it's likely that the reason for the November 10 4pm start of Friends' Nutcracker booking is that public booking for the opera in concert performances also opens November 10, but at 10am. It looks as if they're being sensible and are separating the public opera booking from the Friends' ballet booking. Edited to add that I quoted the wrong post above. I'd meant to quote the post that indicated that the 4pm start of Friends' booking was incorrect. Edited October 30, 2020 by Bluebird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, just listening to the review of the papers which have different versions of lockdown type restrictions, but all with dire implications. What must dancers be thinking?

MJW Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Just got my newspaper through the letterbox announcing a new national lockdown - I won't put what I feel in words as it might offend! I will be so disappointed for everyone - particularly the dancers and other staff at the Royal Ballet and elsewhere. I suppose we shall just have to see what restrictions are imposed and hope for the best. Edited October 31, 2020 by MJW spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think we must plan for the worst. As a Northerner living under T3 I'm afraid I think this is what the country as a whole needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannette Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 My heart goes out to all of you in the UK. I’m afraid that we’re headed in the same direction here, certainly in the Wash, DC, area...added to COVID, the fears of demonstrations for many reasons (economy, elections, BLM) have prompted all downtown DC merchants to board-up buildings. It all ties together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPD444 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Received a Friends email yesterday saying my booking dates for The Nutcracker had been moved to a week later, should have been next week, makes you wonder. Saves refunding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to take a very close look at why measures haven’t worked in some places and tackle the causes. I think it’s going to be very difficult to get sufficient support countrywide for a lockdown to make it work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
