Generally it is cheaper to book tickets directly with the Theatre where the musical is taking place. For more information about London Musicals, Theatres, Directions, Seating Plans etc.please see http://www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk/If you are unable to book a ticket with the Theatre for the date you would like, please check availabilty at http://www.londontheatrebookings.com/ Generally the tickets are slightly more expensive here, because this is a ticket agency. They buy lots of tickets from the Theatre, so if the Theatre has sold out you may find tickets here.The Society of London Theatre runs two "Ticket" booths www.tkts.co.uk that sell hugely discounted tickets (usually just £27.50) on the day of performance for about 30 top West End shows. If you are in London between Monday & Thursday and would like to see a Musical, a Ballet or a Play with a Student discount price, please go to the Theatre Box Office of the show you would like to see on the day of the performance, and you may be able to get a Student Ticket - you will need to show some student identification.
Please see Bob if you need further help or information.

A tip from one of our Taiwanese students.
If people want to try Chinese buffet, there are 2 restaurants. One is Lucky Star near the main bus station, and the other one is at Riverside (beside The Odeon cinema). Although the 2 restaurants have the same boss, Lucky Star is cheaper. At Lucky Star, people only spend 6 pounds for lunch (25 dishes), and spend 11 pounds for dinner (40 dishes). The other (Riverside area) restaurant is bigger, and it has a grill. If people have Chinese Union cards, then they can get one more drink for free (but only for one time).
