How to Book Theatre Tickets
London Coliseum is following the Society of London Theatre Ticketing Principles through flexible and safe operational measures that combine the passion and desire for live experiences with the best possible customer experience.
Book with confidence. Exchange with ease.
Buying Theatre Tickets
Buying your theatre tickets is easy to do on our website.
You will need an email address to receive your e-tickets, which can be held on your phone or tablet and added to your wallet/passbook app. Alternatively, you can print your ticket at home and bring it with you if you prefer.
We take a very strong view on secondary reselling and if we believe a ticket has been resold we may refuse entry to the ticket holder. To ensure you have a great visit to our theatre we ask that you do not risk purchasing a fake ticket through other sites.

What happens if I feel ill and can’t use my ticket?
We will be ensuring that you have maximum flexibility by allowing tickets to be exchanged for another performance of the show you have booked (if available) and we can exchange tickets up to 24 hours prior to the performance – so if someone in your party feels ill, there’s no need to worry.
If you have booked for an ENO opera, your tickets can be exchanged for another ENO performance.

Refunds are not available, unless a performance is cancelled, but if you are unable to attend due to illness or self-isolation we can offer you an exchange if performances are available.
