Frequently Asked Questions

How much are Harry Potter and the Cursed Child tickets?

Ticket prices range from around £18 to more than £150 per part, depending on performance dates and availability.

What are the most expensive tickets for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?

Tickets in Stalls Rows C - J can cost over £150 per part, and the centre of Grand Circle Rows A - C are also in this price range.

Premium seats in the Dress Circle offer a “phenomenal view”, according to one theatregoer in A18, but legroom can be a bit tight. Comparably priced seats in the Stalls such as D14 are the best for seeing the magic up close, and getting immersed in the Wizarding World.

How can I get cheap tickets for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?

This popular show sells very well in advance, so always try to book at least a month before your visit for the best choice of seats in the lower price range. Also look at midweek performances if possible, because sometimes seats are up to 40% cheaper compared to the weekend.

Check fellow theatregoers’ view from seat photos and ratings to find hidden gems, such as Grand Circle A22, which has just a slight restriction from the safety bar, or seats at the side such as D37.

The play is not often discounted, so seasonal promotions such as London Theatre Week are the best time to book seats for less. The exclusive prices on offer are often some of the best you will find all year.
