Anyone fancy either Thursday the 18th or Friday 19th?

Both dates fine for me

And me.

A tentative suggestion for eating afterwards is Vittoria's on George IV bridge, walking distance from the Festival Theatre (fingers crossed for good weather). Excellent Italian restaurant. ttp://www.vittoriagroup.co.uk/#vob

They also have a posher more expensive restaurant downstairs - Divino Enotica (no, not erotica, can't take you lot anywhere!) www.vittoriagroup.co.uk/#div

Any other suggestions?

So love an Italian. I'm speaking about an Italian meal by the way happily married.

Both matinee dates OK for me.

Both dates ok for me too.

I'm fine with either date (and I'm also very happy to go to Vittoria's afterwards).

baubles Glad to see you can make it.
The tickets for good seats in row C are going fairly fast @ £28.25. I have
e-mailed the ticket office to see if we can get concessions and/or something off for a group visit. If you are happy for me to book these seats please let me know. This is for Thursday 18th at 2pm. I'll try and get less expensive seats if possible.

Whew - The above will reduce the price of the tickets. I'll get a reply tomorrow but as I am off to Aberdeen tomorrow I may have to confirm on Friday. Wish me luck everyone.

Thanks Elizabeth1 for all the research, matinee a good choice for me and either date will suit.

Wow! It pays to have a good look before plumping for the first price you see.

Sure does Elegran the ticket mannie is going to email me the best concession prices. He has provisionally booked us in good seats (he says) with an extra 2 seats incase more GN's wants to join us. It's not row c either as they take the first few rows out for the orchestra and anyone who has been to a ballet doesn't want to sit too close to the stage cause you hear the thump thump of wood against wood. Thursday 18th at 2pm confirmed. Seat prices to follow.

This is going to be so good! Thank you Elizabeth1. As soon as you know the ticket prices I'll get the money to you?

Great Elizabeth, well done. I'll look forward to it.

Thank you, Elizabeth1

Thank you for fixing this, Elizabeth1 How do you want the money? (used fivers in a plain brown envelope left in a phone box on the A90?)

That's great Elizabeth1 thank you
I would prefer to pay by internet if you can pm me your account no. and sort code.

Same here Elizabeth could you pm me your bank details and I'll transfer the cost of the ticket once you know.

Likewise if you're happy with that system.

Hello GN's

After a discussion with Richard the manager from the booking office it now appears that several rows are removed for the musicians including the £28.50 ones. The next best seats are further back at an increased price. He has taken the group discount off them.

I have now confirmed and paid for 8 seats holding 2 extra for any late comers. The tickets are £26.50 each. Hope this is suitable to everyone. I'll send details of my account in PM when I am able to work it out.

I now owe 2 people £2 cause the tickets are £26.50. Thank you thatbags for spotting the deliberate mistake. I'm on the wine now hic hic .
