How to book
Electra/Persona closes on 10 October 2026, so book the date you can make now; the cheapest seats for the final weeks go first. Peak and off-peak prices are close.
If you can be flexible, day tickets are released on the day from £20, though they aren't guaranteed. Under-30s and students pay from £5.
Seats in the Lyttelton run from £30 to £120. The mid-Stalls have the best views; avoid the front rows for a long show, and the rear if the set is tall.
