Who is London Theatre Direct (Our History)?
London Theatre Direct is one of the leading providers of theatre tickets in the UK. In fact, we were one of the very first websites to sell theatre tickets online. Since our company’s founding in 1999 we have been offering audiences safe and secure access to tickets for the very best of the West End, including London musicals, plays, dance performances, opera, concerts and comedy shows – to name a few.
We hold direct relationships with all the major theatre groups in London including Andrew Lloyd Webber's LW Theatres, Nimax Theatres, Ambassador Theatre Group, Delfont Mackintosh Theatres and many more individual theatres and smaller theatre groups.
We connect directly to the venue box offices allowing for both last-minute theatre bookings and the maximum number of available London theatre tickets on sale at any one time.
In 2019, we joined forces with Trafalgar Entertainment, a global leader in live entertainment with expertise in live productions, venue ownership of Trafalgar Theatres, performing arts education, event cinema distribution and live streaming, and, of course, theatre ticketing.
Now, with over 25 years of experience in the industry and a broader outreach across all areas of the entertainment industry, we are committed to providing the simplest service and offering the best tickets at prices to suit any budget.
