The Phantom of the Opera

About this experience

Phantom of the Opera tickets in London Phantom of the Opera tickets are for Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical at His Majesty's Theatre on Haymarket, where it has played since 1986 and turned 40 in October 2026. The show runs about 2 hours 30 minutes including a 20-minute interval, with evening performances Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm and matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at 2.30pm. These tickets cannot be cancelled or rescheduled, so check the date and time before you pay. You get mobile delivery and can pick your seats on the live seat map. The story follows the masked Phantom beneath the Paris Opera House as he coaches the young soprano Christine Daaé, while a love triangle forms with Raoul. The score includes "The Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You" and "Masquerade," played by a live orchestra, and the staging has candlelit set pieces and the famous chandelier sequence. What to expect at His Majesty's Theatre The production uses smoke, haze, strobe lighting, loud orchestral moments, gunfire effects and pyrotechnics. If anyone in your group is sensitive to those effects, check the content notes on the booking page and choose seats with an easy route to an aisle. His Majesty's Theatre is a traditional West End house, so legroom and sightlines vary by section. For help picking a part of the house, see our His Majesty's Theatre guide. Photography and recording are not allowed during the performance. Bars sell drinks and snacks at the interval, and official merchandise is on sale around the house. Choosing your seats The theatre has a stalls level with several circles above it, and prices fall as you go higher. Stalls seats put you close to the action, while seats in the circles show the full stage picture, including the chandelier and the lair scenes. Always read the seat notes on the seat map, because some seats are labelled restricted view or have a side-on angle. Matinees on Wednesday and Saturday are the easiest way to fit the show into a daytime London trip with children, while evening performances suit a pre-theatre dinner nearby. Casting can change over a long run, so check the cast listed for your date on the booking page before you buy if a particular performer matters to you. Age guidance and who should go The show is recommended for ages 8 and over. Children under 4 are not admitted, every person needs their own ticket, and little ones must be able to sit in their own seat without assistance. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. It suits first-time West End visitors, couples and families with older children who want a dramatic, romantic musical with big set pieces rather than a comedy or a jukebox show. Arrive on time Arrive about 30 minutes before curtain-up to clear security and find your seats. Latecomers are only admitted at a suitable break, usually a scene change in Act Two, so punctuality protects the opening scenes. Keep bags small, because they are checked on entry, and silence your phone once you are seated. Getting to His Majesty's Theatre His Majesty's Theatre is at Haymarket, St James's, London SW1Y 4QL. Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square Underground stations are a few minutes' walk away. Allow extra time on busy West End evenings, and note that popular Friday and Saturday performances and school holiday dates tend to sell first. Planning a fuller trip?
