The reduced price ticket booth on Leicester Square is a good way to get cheapish tickets on the day.

The National Theatre (on the South Bank) and the Barbican (near the City of London) can be substantially cheaper than West End theatres, but the quality of shows can easily be as good or better. The Barbican theatre especially has much better views and sightlines of the stage - from every seat - than do most of the cramped and Victorian theatres in the West End.

These anons know. It's straight forward and you can buy online, too, quite close to the performance day if you are not after the very best (or the very cheapest). I've seen some great stuff at the National Theatre and Young Vic in the last couple of years, and I recall getting some last minute tickets to see Martin Freeman (the Hobbit) in Richard III on the day.

There's so much going on, OP, you should find somethign you like.

Most West End (equivalent to Broadway) theaters have "day seats", a small block of cheap tickets that only go on sale that morning. Be there when the box office opens. I got front row seats that way.

My and gf went to London, we seen signs everywhere "tickets from just £19.99!", we checked online and in the ticket booths. We never paid anything less than £75 a ticket.

We seen 3 shows and all were amazing, so no regrets really but be prepared to splash the cash

Avoid the storefront ticket shops in and around Leicester Square that all call themselves The Official Half-Price Ticket Booth but somehow run out of cheap tickets just as you get to the front of the line and count on you buying whatever they have just because you waited so long. If they spot you as a real rube, they'll sell you top balcony tickets at downstairs prices.

You always do better at the theater box office or an online ticket broker (who will charge a service charge but can get tickets to sell-outs)
