Simple ways to get free tickets in London, capital of great expense!

1. If you’re under 26 try Arts Council’s A Night Less Ordinary, contact the venues far in advance though to find out when their free tickets are released. All the major subsidised venues such as Roundhouse, BAC and others are on there.

2. Same again but Barbican and National Theatre have their own free-to-join schemes for under 26 year olds which are ace as they email you when tickets are available and you can get em for some super stuff. Their follow up tickets for a fiver are ace too!

3. Join What’s On Stage’s theatre club for free theatre tickets to the best west end shows all year round. Membership can be pricey but it’s worth it!

4. Time Out’s offers page is amazing for free tickets, add it to your bookmarks and get free tickets to amazing gigs, shows and events. It is updated roughly every Tuesday to coincide with the publication of the magazine…SO GOOD!

5. Evening Standard’s offers and competitions are unbeatable, always good tickets for variety of events.

6. Our favourite weekly mailout Run-Riot has super free tickets every week for the most offbeat and cool events around.
