1. Phantom of the Opera Ticket Prices

The Phantom of the Opera is one of the West End’s longest-running musicals, and a big-budget spectacle that should be on your theatrical bucket list. With dazzling costumes and set design, iconic moments and a live orchestra, face-value ticket prices currently range from £22.50 to over £175 for premium seats.

Offers are quite rare for The Phantom of the Opera, so the best way to get a good deal on the show is knowing when and where to book.

There are a lot of restricted view seats at His Majesty's Theatre, for example, and we've included plenty of tips on how to use these to your advantage below. Keep reading for our complete rundown on the best ways to save money at this iconic musical.

2. When to Book Tickets for The Phantom of the Opera

Unsurprisingly, the cheapest or best-value tickets for The Phantom of the Opera sell out in advance, so it’s worth booking a month or two in advance for the greatest choice of tickets across all price bands. 

For the biggest savings on The Phantom of the Opera, try to book tickets during one of London theatre's biggest seasonal promotions such as the Official London Theatre New Year Sale or Kids Week. Most recently, amazing seats were available during spring 2023 London Theatre Week, which offered some of the best prices you will see all year. London Theatre Week is expected to return in late summer.

If you can't grab a bargain in a promotion, try attending on a weekday. These off-peak performances are often cheaper than peak periods such as Friday - Sundays and any day during school holidays. For example, at the box office Royal Circle D31 is £110 at a peak Saturday evening performance, and £99.50 on a Tuesday evening (prices from September 2023). 

3. Last Minute Phantom of the Opera Tickets

A limited number of £30 Day Seats for The Phantom of the Opera are available online at 10am each performance day. You can book up to two tickets, and seats are located at the venue’s discretion. There is not currently a Phantom of the Opera lottery or Rush ticket scheme.

Another way to save money on The Phantom of the Opera last minute is with TKTS either online or in person at Leicester Square. Discounted Phantom tickets are often available to buy here on the day of the show. 

Insider Tip: The Phantom of the Opera sometimes has dynamic pricing, which means tickets online drop in price if they remain unsold on the day. When we checked a Thursday evening performance tonight and one week later, prices were the same. But don’t be put off - if you keep an eye on prices you might be able to spot a last minute saving with this trick.

4. What Are the Best Phantom of the Opera Seats?

The Phantom of the Opera has a dramatic set design, and the iconic chandelier reveal is best enjoyed from the centre of the Stalls or the front rows of the Royal Circle. Seats like Stalls D20 and Royal Circle A20 are some of the best seats for Phantom of the Opera, with a high price tag to match. 

If you don't want to pay quite this much, His Majesty’s Theatre has a lot of restricted view seats which can work in your favour. Restricted view seats are cheaper than clear view seats around them, and some are actually hidden gems with views which surpass the ticket price. If you want to book these - or any other seats - at Phantom of the Opera, check SeatPlan's His Majesty's Theatre seating plan, which has over 1,000 photos and ratings from real theatregoers.

Best Phantom of the Opera tickets under £50: There are lots of cheap Phantom of the Opera tickets across His Majesty's Theatre, which promise a really great view of the show. Three top picks from SeatPlan users - all rated 4* or above - are:

1. Grand Circle A1 (from £37.50). This seat is marked restricted view, but is "possibly the best value seat in the theatre" according to one SeatPlan reviewer.

2. Royal Circle H9 (from £32.50). Also restricted view, with a pillar in your eyeline - but as you can see, much of the stage is still perfectly visible.

3. Balcony A10 (from £22.50). This seat is a bit far away and the legroom is restricted, but nevertheless very good value for money.

Insider Tip: Restricted view seats on the right-hand side of the Grand Circle are the best value RV seats in the entire theatre. 

5. Cheap Phantom of the Opera Matinee Tickets

There are two matinee performances each week at The Phantom of the Opera, on Wednesday and Saturday at 2.30pm. Evening performances start at 7.30pm.  

Tickets for Wednesday matinees are not usually cheaper than any other midweek performances, but they are cheaper than weekends. For example, Royal Circle D19 costs £110 on a Saturday evening in September 2023, and £89.50 for the Wednesday matinee that same week.
