DO you need to stage a saving this week?
Now is the perfect time to book your next theatre trip, with new West End show tickets released for the winter season.
Use these tricks to plan your visit.
EARLY BIRD: Many new shows offer discounted rates for early performances.
For instance, Titanique, a musical based on the Titanic film, starts in December with tickets from £16 for initial performances, rising to around £31 in January.
GO OFF-PEAK: Booking Monday or Tuesday shows often means cheaper tickets since most tourists visit on weekends.
Matinees outside school holidays also offer lower prices — check if your chosen production has this option.
DISCOUNT DEALS: NHS staff can get 25 per cent off ATG tickets or 10 per cent off via LoveTheatre.co.uk.
Check healthservicediscounts.com for more offers.
If you have a railcard, you can claim discounts for theatre trips booked with train travel — check availability at DaysOutGuide.tixculture.com.
MORE THE MERRIER: Round up a few friends and book as a group to get money off your next theatre trip.
For instance, booking ten-plus tickets for Mrs Doubtfire in the West End drops the price to £49.50 per ticket, down from around £57.50.
Many theatres offer group rates for 6 to 12-plus people if you check with the theatre directly.
LOTTERY WIN: Some major productions offer daily lotteries for discounted or even free tickets. Hamilton holds a regular lottery via the TodayTix app, where you can win tickets for £10.
Also, follow your favourite shows on social media, where competitions for free tickets are often posted.
ACCESS FOR ALL: If you’re on low income or universal credit, many theatres offer heavily discounted rates.
National Theatre of Scotland’s Theatre for a Fiver programme gives access to £5 tickets, just check local theatre websites for more options.
