Extra person in a theatre box

[pisspants]

Hello, just wondering if anyone knows if this is possible. Me and 2 teen DC are looking to go to see a show in the Autumn, budget is tight so please don't judge! There are some cheap box tickets but there are only 2 seats in there (the box only has 2 seats). If I bought a 3rd ticket in a seat nearby, do you think an usher would allow the 3rd person to go in the box with the other 2 for the show?

I would say no. Firstly, where is the extra person going to sit if there are only two chairs? There might not be room for an extra chair, even if one could be provided.

from the seat reviews they are meant to be quite spacious but I was thinking we could all either squish together or take it in turns for one person to stand.

If there are only two seats in there I doubt it is spacious! If there was extra space the theatre would be putting seats in there and it would be a box for 4 or 6. I don't think either squishing together on two seats or having one person stand will work.

They won’t let you past the doors with no ticket.

Call the theatre and ask, they can only say no?

No they won't let you through the doors in the first place without a ticket.

Call the theatre. If they can help they will but there are health and safety issues potentially remember

You will not be allowed to do this.

Call the theatre op. I've been to see shows in my nearest city that showed boxes only seated two. When we arrived there were 4 seats, nobody joined us.

Worth a phonecall.

I’d just go for it and see what happens , it’s not the end of the world if one of you had to sit on your own .

They won't let you.

No.
