Friday Rush
Get last-minute tickets for the Royal Ballet and Opera at a range of prices – even for sold-out shows!
The final Friday Rush will be Friday 18 July 2025.
From the 2025/26 Season onwards there will no longer be a separate allocation of last-minute Friday Rush tickets. To ensure everyone has the opportunity to experience world class ballet and opera, regardless of ticket price, we are reallocating some of these lower to medium cost tickets to local partnerships and specific audience groups receiving income support. A range of affordable tickets, with many under £50, are available when booking opens for each production throughout the year.
Friday Rush tickets are released every Friday at 1pm. They include tickets for Main Stage performances for the following week, until the next Friday Rush. All of the performances with tickets in the next Friday Rush will appear on this page.
You can purchase two Friday Rush tickets for each performance.
The next Friday Rush will be held on Friday 2 May 2025 at 1pm.
