Frequently Asked Questions

Booking Tickets

Is SeatPlan a secure site?

Yes, our up-to-date security system ensures that your personal details are safe and secure at all times. Bookings are processed using secure server software (SSL) that protects your personal and credit card details.

SeatPlan is a registered member of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR).

You can verify our STAR membership here.

Do you charge booking fees?

At SeatPlan, we use several suppliers to try and ensure the best possible prices, including offers that are not available when buying tickets directly from the box office. They may sometimes charge a booking fee on top of face value. All prices on SeatPlan.com include applicable booking fees to ensure extra costs are not added during checkout, except for certain delivery methods.

For more information about our ticket agents, see our Terms and Conditions.

What is the difference between face value and selling price?

"Face value" is the recommended sale price for a ticket. "Selling Price" is the final sale price, including applicable booking fees, and may be higher or lower than face value.

Are group discounts or concessions available?

Group discounts and concessions, including for seniors, children and young people, aren't available on SeatPlan.

How do I make an access booking?

Access bookings must be made directly with the venue. For information and contact details, please visit the accessibility page for the theatre you'd like to book tickets at.

Are discounts available for access patrons?

Access policies vary from venue to venue. Most theatres offer a discount for access patrons and their companion. For more information, please contact the box office directly.

Can babes-in-arms/children be admitted into the venue?

Most venues require children to be aged 3+ to attend a live event, but each theatre has its own child policy. Some family and child-friendly shows have a babes-in-arms policy for infants under 12 or 18 months.

Are there any age restrictions when buying tickets?

Details of age restrictions and recommendations are listed on each production page. Children under the age of 16 should sit next to an accompanying adult, and may be refused entry if they sit separately.

Can I buy tickets from overseas?

You can book tickets on SeatPlan if you're based outside the UK. Payment will be collected in British pounds (£) or US dollars ($) depending on the production you're booking.

What if certain performers don't appear in the performance I see?

The appearance of any cast member or performer can't be guaranteed, and they may have to miss performances at short notice due to illness, injury or various other reasons. SeatPlan doesn't accept responsibility for any individual performer appearing at any particular performance.

Can I get an invoice for my booking?

Invoices may be available for bookings. Please contact the supplier listed on your My Tickets page for more information.

Can I purchase tickets as a gift?

SeatPlan doesn't currently sell gift cards or vouchers.

Do you accept Theatre Tokens or gift vouchers?

Theatre Tokens cannot be redeemed with SeatPlan. To redeem your Tokens, please follow the instructions listed here.

Do you have discount codes?

SeatPlan doesn't have discount codes for performances, but we have offers available on our London and NYC theatre discounts pages. We work with several suppliers to aggregate the best deals for West End shows, so you can save money on your next theatre trip.

If you want to see a show this week, you can also check our London last-minute theatre tickets page, which lists offers and price drops for performances in the next seven days.

Can you help me choose the best seats?

When you're ready to book, you can browse all of our user-submitted reviews on the seating plan, or let our Best Seats tool do the work for you. Best Seats displays the top-rated options in every price band, so you can enjoy the best views and comfort for your budget.

Check out how to use our Best Seats tool here.

What cities does SeatPlan cover?

Receiving Tickets

What do I do if I haven't received my booking confirmation?

Double-check your spam/junk folders to make sure the booking confirmation email hasn't been sent there. If you can't locate it, visit your My Tickets page for customer service contact details.

Sometimes, a booking isn't successful and the payment will show as pending on your bank statement. If you're concerned that you have a pending payment and no confirmation email, please get in touch.

How will I get my tickets/when will they arrive?

Your booking is confirmed with our ticketing suppliers, and tickets are either emailed before the performance or available for box office collection. Please check your confirmation email for ticket delivery information, or check My Tickets to contact the supplier.

What do I do if my tickets haven't arrived?

If your e-tickets haven’t been delivered, the supplier that fulfilled your booking can re-send these. Check your booking confirmation email or My Tickets page for the supplier’s contact details, or enter your booking reference in Contact Support below.

If your performance is within 24 hours, you can also check with the theatre box office directly. They may have a record of your booking if you can provide proof of booking and identification. The ticketing supplier will be in touch as soon as possible, but we advise that contacting them 48 hours or more before your performance date is best.

I typed in my email address incorrectly. Can you fix this?

Yes, we can update your email address if there's a typo. Get in touch at help@seatplan.com so we can change it on your account. We'll also direct you to our ticketing partner so they can update their records and re-send your booking confirmation and tickets.

I changed email addresses and lost my confirmation. Can you re-send it?

You can update your email address in your account - visit Edit Profile to do so. Once you've done this, find the contact details for our ticketing supplier in My Tickets and let them know that you'd like your confirmation to be sent to a new email address.

What do I do if I have lost my tickets?

If you can't find your tickets, our suppliers can re-send these for you. Contact details can be found on your booking confirmation and on My Tickets.

Can I get a physical copy of my tickets?

Paper tickets are a great way to surprise someone as a gift or to keep as a memory of your theatre trip. However, most tickets are now sent digitally to make delivery easier and safer.

The box office may be able to print off physical tickets for you. When you arrive at the theatre, let them know that you'd love a paper ticket as a keepsake and they'll do their best to help.

Cancel / Refund / Change

Can I cancel or change the date of my booking?

Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable once your order has been confirmed. This is outlined in our ticketing suppliers' (e.g. London Theatre Direct, Encore Tickets) Terms and Conditions.

However, we know that unexpected changes to your plans can happen, and our suppliers will do their best to help. This is at the discretion of the supplier and venue and you should try to contact them more than 48 hours before the performance.

The quickest way to request a change to your order is by contacting the supplier directly. You can find their details on your My Tickets page.

Can I change my seats?

If you need to change your seats or would like an upgrade, please contact the ticketing supplier listed on your My Tickets page or booking confirmation.

Seat exchanges might not always be possible due to availability, but our suppliers will do their best to explore all of your options.

I moved my tickets to another date. Why hasn't My Tickets updated?

Bookings are confirmed with our ticketing suppliers and when you exchange your tickets to a new date, this is also confirmed with them. Your booking won't always update in My Tickets on your SeatPlan account, but if you have received a confirmation email for your exchange, it has been successfully completed.

My performance was cancelled, what happens next?

If a show or event is cancelled, you'll be offered an exchange for a new date or receive a full refund. Our ticketing suppliers will get in touch to explain your options.

If you want to contact the customer service department about your cancelled performance, you can find their details on your booking confirmation or in My Tickets on your account.

How do I use my exchange voucher?

Your exchange voucher for a cancelled or re-arranged performance will be emailed to you with instructions for how to use it. This can vary between suppliers so if you're unsure, please contact them for advice.

What are the booking Terms and Conditions?

Terms and Conditions, cancellation policies and contact details for our suppliers are available on our Terms and Conditions page. For existing bookings, check My Tickets for Terms and Conditions.

Reviews & Photos

Why was my seat view photo rejected?

SeatPlan holds the right to reject photos that don't meet our guidelines. If one of your photos is rejected it's likely for one of the following reasons:
  • - The stage was out-of-focus

  • - Too much of the stage was obscured by your programme/Playbill

  • - Members of the cast were visible (Note: photos that show the cast will be accepted for productions that allow photography of the performers)

  • - The photo did not show the view of the stage from your seat (ie. it was a selfie or was looking elsewhere in the auditorium)

  • - The photo is smaller than 600 pixels wide x 400 pixels high

  • - The photo is a screenshot from your phone's camera reel or a social media platform e.g. Instagram

Can I add more than one review per performance?

If you're attending your show with a group, we can accept up to 2 seat view photos per performance, submitted as separate reviews. At least one of your reviews must include a ticket stub photo as proof that you were there. The additional photos must be from seats that are near to the one shown in the ticket stub. If SeatPlan finds any reason to suspect the reviews submitted are false or misleading, they may be rejected.

How long does it take for my reviews/photos to be approved?

We aim to approve reviews and photos within 1-2 working days.

How do I edit my review/photo?

To edit your review, visit your My Photos page. You may no longer be able to edit a review once it has been approved. If this is the case, please get in touch with us at help@seatplan.com so we can assist.

I can't upload my review or photo. Can you help?

Please check that you've filled in all of the required fields and uploaded the correct sized photo. If your review is still not uploading, contact us with screenshots so we can troubleshoot any issues.

Can I delete a photo or review after it's been approved?

We appreciate that you might not want your photos or reviews to be visible any more for a number of reasons. If you want something removed, please get in touch with the team by email.

If your account is deleted, your photos will still display without your username attached.

Why can't I add a photo for one of the venues on your site?

Unfortunately there are some productions and venues that don't allow photography.

You won't earn points at these venues, but we still encourage you to add a review to help other theatregoers find a great seat!

How do I report an inaccurate or fake photo or review?

If you think a review or photo doesn't meet our editorial standards, please report it using the "flag" icon beneath the photo/review, and a member of our team will take a look. We remove fake or duplicate content and members who post it could be banned from the site.

Are the seating plans provided on SeatPlan completely accurate?

The seating plans on SeatPlan are indicative and designed to give a strong impression of a venue's seating layout. Our internal team of theatre experts work hard to keep the seating plans on our website as up-to-date as possible but in some instances a venue may alter their seating at short notice.
