LIFI26: Ticket update and demand
Thank you for the overwhelming response to LIFI26 this morning.
We knew the programme was strong, but the level of demand went well beyond anything we expected. In the first 25 minutes, ticket sales passed what we sold across five days of priority booking last year.
We know that demand caused problems for some of you, and that a number of you missed out as a result. We’re sorry. We worked with our partners to fix the technical issues as fast as we could.
If you run into any further problems, please contact Leeds Playhouse Box Office on 0113 213 7700 or at https://www.leedsplayhouse.org.uk/visit-us/
Thank you to everyone who booked. We can’t wait to see you in October.
