Harry Potter ticket websites question

I'm just wondering which of the two websites are the best to use to buy tickets for the show (when they're  available). Maybe there isn't a difference, but it'll still be good to hear opinions on the websites.

When I was looking ATG seemed to have better availability

I used Nimax when I bought mine in June (when they did that late release of additional tickets) but didn't really look into whether one was better than the other.   Just be sure to get in the queue early!

When you mean early do you mean like 30 minutes before the booking is supossed to start. That's another one of my questions. Do ylu have to click buy tickets at exactly 11 or do you do it at 10:30 since a lot of people are trying to get into it

No, you join the queue before the tickets go on sale.  The email I got this morning said this:

"Please note the online queue for tickets will open one hour prior to on-sale. You can join the queue at any time between 10am and 11am BST; booking will open at 11am BST."

My other advice would be to buy the tickets immediately upon putting them in your cart.  I read some stories on twitter where people put the seats in their cart (thinking they had 7-9 minutes or whatever) and then the seats were longer available when they tried to go to the purchase screen.  Also, create a Nimax account early so you bypass that step.  Finally, my credit card put a hold on this foreign transaction but the tickets were still held for me as "pending" in my account and I was able to go back into my account later that night (after clearing it with my credit card) and push the transaction through.  Good luck!

There seems to be a countdown in the ticket page that's similar to the Friday fourty one. But thank you for the advice! It definitely helped. And I'll make sure to  get the foreign thing cleared!

For anyone that previously bought tickets what are each section priced at? The website now doesn't say anything about prices only that they're priced from 15 to 70 pounds. I'm assuming the 70 pounds are the stalls, and the 15 pounds is the rear circle, but I'm just wondering what the in between prices are and where those priced seats are located.

I found the ATG website more user friendly to use. My tickets were the 60pound and are grand circle row B if that helps.

Any lucky BWWers secure tickets to the new block released for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child? I only had one day available for my trip to London next year and managed to snag really good seats for that specific date after only one hour in line!

I tried earlier on the Nimax queue and it gave me a number somewhere south of #160,000 so I gave up.
