Queue for booking events on the website today

To help us offer a smooth booking process, we are operating a booking queue on the website today. The queue can sometimes move slowly at first but will speed up as the day goes on.

Login now so you're ready

You need to login before joining the queue so we can keep your place even if you close your browser or change computer. Login now so you're ready when the queue opens.


Join the queue when it opens at 10:00

The queue opens at 10:00 (112 minutes). You will need to click to join the queue once it opens.


After you've joined - watch for updates or wait for an email

Your browser will automatically update while you're in the queue, and you can browse the site as usual. We'll also email you when it's your turn to book - you can login from any computer if you want to close your browser and come back later. Once you've reached the front of the queue you'll be able to book any time today, so you don't need to worry about missing your turn.
