How to find tickets to a sold out show or event?

London shows and events are often at a high demand. The best shows are sold out weeks or months in advance.

You should never give up hope of findings tickets, as there are some great sites where tickets can be legally and securely exchanged between members of the public with a guarantee from the site.
These sites are usually for people who have already bought tickets but unable to attend.

Remember that on these sites you pay commission for their service, so prices may be more expensive than the face value. However, you do get the guarantee that the tickets are valid and authentic!

Beware! Do not buy tickets on the street or from websites that don’t give you a guarantee!

The reliable websites that we recommend are:

Tickets compare – A website that compares tickets from other second-hand website and supply an easy way to find a ticket by date in London.

Stubhub is a well-established site and is part of the eBay group, it is also the official return ticket partner of the O2. You can find tickets to most shows, musicals and other events here.

Most of these sites do not charge Booking fee or Administration fees and in many cases, rooms can be cancelled free of charge:

Booking.com – The world leader in booking accommodation online, there are many great deals here on Hotels and also a big range of apartments in London.

Hotwire – recommended website for secret hotels!
Prices are usually lower than the prices available on the hotel site.
We’ve used this site and got a great hotel! The price was significntly cheaper and it saved us time searching and reading all the recommendations :)
The site also covers Flights, Car Rental, and packages.

Priceline – Another recommended site for secret hotels.  Similar to Hotwire, you book your hotel based on the location, price, star rating, and amenities, BUT you are not told the exact name and address of the hotel until you confirm your booking.
