Away from the West End, London's major theatres offer their own in-house discounts and cheap ticket offers; unlike the West End, all of them offer discounts for those with concessions.
The heavily subsidised National Theatre offers an excellent array of offers, and is far cheaper than the West End as a rule.
• The Travelex £15 season puts half of all tickets for many spring and summer shows at just £15.
• Young people aged 16-25 can sign up for the Entry Pass scheme, which allows you the opportunity to purchase £5 tickets from an allocation made available to every single NT show.
• Day tickets are available in person to every show, from 9.30am on day of performance. When they have sold out, £5 Standing Room tickets are released.
• Reduced price Standby and Student Standby tickets are released 90 minutes before every performance.
• Friday Rush Tickets are available for all performances in the Olivier, Lyttelton, Dorfman and temporary theatre from April 10, 2015. Every Friday at 1pm an allocation of £20 tickets for the following week's performances will be released online.
