Postal applicants pay 50p per transaction for use of a Barbican envelope, or can include their own, with stamp and pay nothing. Personal callers avoid any fee. Theatremonkey is considering going into the envelope supply business with packaging costing that much - no way does processing each ticket cost the centre 1.15 The centre may email an audited breakdown to this site to refute the above statement. The circles in this theatre are at the back of the stalls, so they do not overhang the seats except at the edges of the auditorium. For some reason, no matter which seat he chooses in this modern theatre, this monkey feels he cannot get a good view of the stage.
All seats officially have a clear view of the stage.
Rows A to P seats 1 to 9 and 31 to 44 are at an angle to the stage. This is especially annoying in rows A to G as the actors seem to be standing side on to the audience when viewed from these seats. Theatremonkey's pick of the bad bunch are first, Rows E to G 11 to 27, then A to C 15 to 24, Row D 12 to 26, then Row H to P 11 to 30. Frankly, avoiding the first and last 9 seats in all rows is worthwhile, and further back then row P is getting remote from the stage - poor value for money when you can usually sit near the front for the same price. Wheelchair spaces have been added at the rear of the stalls.
