Went to see 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie', which was amazing in itself.

We arrived a few minutes late, and although they originally offered to let us watch via a screen, a very understanding woman let us stand at the back of the stalls until we could be led to our seats during a brief break.

When this happened however, two people were sat in our seats (we had three seats altogether), and the staff then offered to move us upstairs until the interval. This was a little frustrating, as we had booked seats in the stalls to avoid many stairs due to two of our party having trouble walking. Eventually the staff decided to move the two people who had taken our seats.

Again, this was a little frustrating, although it was not the theatre staff's fault. However, during the interval, a conversation with another family revealed that their tickets had been given to others before they had arrived, very odd!

Overall I'd say, make sure you get there early so there's no confusion with your seats and everything (that's a given though). And I feel there should be a better way of making sure everyone is in the right seats before the show starts.
