Friday Rush is a great way to get last-minute tickets for the Royal Opera House at a range of prices – even for sold-out shows. This week’s tickets are priced £13 - £57.
How it works
When the timer counts down to 1pm this Friday, 49 new Friday Rush tickets will be available to buy for each of the performances listed at the bottom of this page. Look for Friday Rush tickets in the Stalls Circle Balcony and Amphitheatre sections of the auditorium; please note the Balcony tickets are for standing places. You may purchase a maximum of two Friday Rush tickets for each performance.
For shows that are not sold-out, our usual range of tickets is available to buy at any time through the links below. Unlike the Friday Rush tickets, there is usually no limit on the number of these tickets you can buy for each performance.
We offer Friday Rush for almost all main-stage shows performed by The Royal Opera and The Royal Ballet, but a small number of exclusions apply (for example, galas and schools matinees).
Depending on national holidays and other events, sometimes (and very rarely) Friday Rush tickets will be released on a different day. In these cases the change of date will be flagged on this page with a week's notice.
