The Red Shoes Discount Tickets

Discounts are already live for the production, with Black Friday sales offering up to £35 off. We recommend taking advantage of these promotions and other winter sales for the best bang for your buck. 

If you can’t find a discount, check websites like SeatPlan, which has thousands of audience photos showing the view from seat, and Theatremonkey, for tips on which tickets are worth it and which are actually hidden gems! 

When To Book Tickets

There is still good availability for The Red Shoes so don’t worry about rushing to book, unless you see an offer. However, we recommend keeping an eye on the dates you want, especially at weekends and closer to the Christmas period when more people will be out and about at the theatre every day of the week.

When we checked, Saturdays tended to be a bit more expensive than midweek performances, so bear this in mind when you decide which day to attend. Top price tickets are up to 20% more expensive at the weekend.

Last-minute schemes have not been confirmed, but there may be Rush tickets released when the show has opened.

Top Tips For Your Visit

Sadler’s Wells is a little off the beaten tourist track in Islington, but there is plenty to do in the area. With Angel tube station at one end of the high street and Highbury & Islington overground not far away, it is well-connected to central London. Attractions nearby include Regent’s Canal and Camden Passage, which is a treasure trove of independent and antique shops, cafes and restaurants.

At the theatre, there are several bars and the Fox Garden Court Cafe, which sells seasonal dishes including curries, salads and pastries. You can often bring a cold bottled drink into the theatre from outside, but hot food and drinks are not allowed.

The cloakroom charges £1 per item, so if possible take small bags into the auditorium and store them under your seat to save money (and time!).
