1. Mamma Mia! Ticket Prices

Mamma Mia! is one of the West End’s most feel-good musicals, and although it's cheaper than an actual Greek getaway, standard ticket prices currently range from £17.75 to highs of around £180. 

Mamma Mia! isn’t regularly discounted with ticket agents, but cheap Mamma Mia tickets are available from the box office with a number of group booking and advance booking offers. These are great for a wide range of people - whether you’re planning to see the show with your family, on a hen do, or even just on your own. Mamma Mia! is also often included in big seasonal promotions like the London Theatre New Year Sale. 

The Novello Theatre, home of Mamma Mia!, has a lot of restricted view seats which can vary in quality. Some of these are great value for money if you really want to save, and we’ve shared some of our top tips below.

2. When to Book Tickets for Mamma Mia!

There is always last-minute availability for Mamma Mia!, but you will have the most choice for your budget if you plan ahead and book early. If you book 4+ months in advance, you can even save at the box office. Mamma Mia! Early Bird Booking gives you the chance to save £20 on selected tickets for Monday to Thursday performances, including during peak periods, if you book 16+ weeks in advance. 

Thursday matinees also have a special rate for Seniors if booked in advance on the official website.

You can also save some money if you book an off-peak performance. Peak periods are more expensive, and include weekends and holidays. Off-peak periods are weekdays (excluding Fridays). For example, in September 2023, Stalls S15 is currently £87.75 on the weekend and £77.75 on a Wednesday evening.

Mamma Mia! doesn’t have as many discounts as some other West End shows, but it is often included in one or more of London theatre’s popular seasonal promotions such as London Theatre Week and the New Year Sale. These promotions run every year, and are a great way to book cheap Mamma Mia! tickets between one week and two months in advance.

3. Last Minute Mamma Mia Tickets

Booking in advance can give peace of mind (and some very good savings if you take advantage of Early Bird or group discounts) but there are ways to get cheap Mamma Mia! tickets in London at the last minute.

TKTS lists on the day discounts for a variety of shows, and you can browse these either online or in person at their Leicester Square ticket booth. 

Mamma Mia! Rush tickets are released at 10am each morning on the TodayTix app. You can book up to 2 tickets costing £25 each. Seats are located across the auditorium at the venue’s discretion. This is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to get great Mamma Mia! Day Seats. 

4. What Are the Best Mamma Mia! Seats?

For full immersion and a great view of every ABBA-fuelled dance number, the central Stalls and front half of the Dress Circle are the best seats at Mamma Mia! They are also the most expensive, and can set you back as much as £170+ at some performances. 

Luckily, Mamma Mia! also has some great cheaper seats. Some of these can be hit and miss, so make sure you check the Novello Theatre seating plan at SeatPlan, which has hundreds of seat view photos and reviews from people who’ve already seen the show.

Top 5 Mamma Mia! seats under £70: If you want to be a Dancing Queen without breaking the bank, consider booking some of these seats:

1. Stalls Q1 (from £62.75). This seat is to the extreme right side, but the stage is in clear view.

2. Stalls C11 (from £42.75). This is a front row seat and slightly cheaper than the row behind because of the high stage. 

3. Stalls W10 (from £47.75). This seat is next to the sound box and at the back, but SeatPlan users reassure us that it’s not as restricted as you might expect.

4. Grand Circle C3 (from £22.75). This seat is marked restricted view but good value for the price tag.

5. Grand Circle AA15 (from £17.75). This is a side view Slip seat so you need to lean forward, but SeatPlan users say it’s better than expected for the price.

5. Cheap Mamma Mia Matinee Tickets

Matinee dates for Mamma Mia! in London vary, but there are usually performances at 3pm on Thursdays and Saturdays, and 2.30pm on Sundays. Other matinees are sometimes added on Mondays or Wednesdays at 3pm. 

Saturday matinees tend to be the same price as Saturday evenings, but you can get cheaper Mamma Mia! matinee tickets on Sundays and weekdays. For example, at the time of writing Stalls W10 is £10 cheaper on a Sunday afternoon than a Saturday afternoon in September:

Insider Tip: If you are 60+ and attending with a group of 10+ friends, don’t forget to take advantage of £30 Thursday matinee tickets for Mamma Mia! from the box office. If you want to see Mamma Mia! on the weekend, Sunday matinees don't have a Senior Rate, but are often a bit cheaper than Saturday performances in general.
