Harry Potter fans warned against theatre ticket resales

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be a sequel to the original book series.

As a result, a few fans have been satisfied, while others realize they may never get a ticket.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which will start previews at the Palace Theater next summer, is set 19 years after the events in Harry Potter and the Death Hallows Part 2, and follows the former boy wizard and his son Albus, who struggles under the weight of his family legacy.

Already – with painful inevitability – there are two tickets on sale online for a disgusting £900, from someone who definitely deserves all of the Unforgivable Curses.

Fans scrambled for tickets when priority booking for performances from June 7 to September 18 2016 opened at 11am on Wednesday morning but seats sold out quickly.

The show sold more than 175,000 tickets in just eight hours and a few appeared on re-sale ticket websites soon after, priced at more than £1,000.

Another tweeted: “This play better blow my mind @jk_rowling @HPPlayLDN…” In 2014, 100,000 tickets sold for Benedict Cumberbatch’s Hamlet within three hours, making it the fastest-selling in theatre history.

Yes, don’t panic, producers have promised more tickets will be released when the general sale begins on Friday 30 October.

Customers were left frustrated by glitches with the ticket-sales system, which led to people losing tickets they thought they had bought and also being overcharged.

According to the BBC, tickets for the first batch of performances sold out within a few hours. In addition four special preview performances are planned for the end of May 2016.

The play will be performed in two halves, meaning fans can either see it on two separate nights, or in one day as matinee and evening shows.
