London booking sites where you can book from the Seating Plan?

    Heading over next week and want to see the Commitments as I know a few people in it. Getting really frustrated with booking fees and sites not letting you choose your own seat. Ticketmaster let you book from the seating plan but they don't have any seats until the end of October. Are there any others that give this option that I mightn't have thought of?

    There are offers for any days/nights other than Saturdays and Saturday night is the only show I can make. TKTS tends to have tickets but I'm not sure about whether to risk it or not. Any thoughts?

    Not much use for you if you're going next week but for anyone else going over to London in late October (21st October to 2nd November - excludes Saturdays), here's an offer for top price (excluding premium) seats for £39.50 or second price for £28.

    You're rarely going to get offers that include Saturday nights as it's the busiest night. I think if you get to TKTS when they open at 10.00 you should be fine, especially if you're only getting a ticket for yourself.

    Also remember that Ticketmaster only receive an allocation of tickets like other ticketing agencies. So just because their allocation is gone doesn't mean it's sold out.

    The Palace is owned by Nimax Theatres so their official booking system is here:

    Their booking system is awful to use. The only other agencies I know that use seating plans are ATG and Delfont Mackintosh, neither of which sell tickets for The Commitments.

    In the end I opted to pay full price to secure a decent ticket. I'm consoling myself that I'ms only seeing two shows on a trip I'd normally squeeze four in..though I'd rather see four shows. I'd normally take the risk but it's my only chance to see the show on this trip and I have a few friends in it so don't want to let them down.
