A ticket to see a play or musical in London’s West End will cost 21 more than before the pandemic, according to new research by theatre publication The Stage.
The average ticket price has risen since 2019 from £116 (142) to £140 (172), it says, with the average top price for a ticket for a play jumping up by 38 to £114 (140).
Cabaret – the award-winning reprise of Bob Fosse’s extravaganza starring Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley – is currently the highest-priced for a musical, with its top tier prices set at more than £300 (368) – although its venue the Playhouse Theatre also makes a few £25 tickets available for every performance.
Lower-priced tickets have risen by just 3.3 in that same period, with prices of around £22 (27).
Factors for the increased prices include inflation – around 12 in the UK – but also theatres including the Playhouse having to strip seats out to accommodate pandemic restrictions.
