How ‘premium’ is premium seating at the theatre?
How premium is premium seating at the theatre? A very good question that I was asked recently. Let’s take The Book Of Mormon as an example because yes, it’s one of the priciest shows out there. Premium stalls seats will set you back a whopping £200 EACH! But look to the back of the stalls […]
