I work in Covent Garden near the Novello Theatre so I walked by then at 8.00am on my way to work and the queue was already 38 strong with about 15 people obviously having slept the night!
Dead on 10.00am a friend went online to try to get a ticket (I was in a meeting) and then I tried when I got out but the website just froze the whole time.
My friend said that she couldn't get on the phone at all so at about 11.00am I went around to the theatre but the queue was about 150 people in length and was right round the corner!

Thankfully I'd bought some tickets through the RSC when they first went on sale so, although I would like to go more times, I decided not to try any more.
I read later in online that they were getting something like 2,000 calls a second and few people posted that they'd been ale to buy tickets on the phones!
It was very annoying to later see some tickets appear on E-Bay and GetMeIn at massive prices!
