London Theatre Direct

Company bio

Established in 1999, London Theatre Direct is one of the UK’s leading ticket agents and distributors. As one of the first companies to sell theatre tickets online in the UK, through to displaying interactive seating plans, connecting to multiple API systems and becoming the first ticket seller in the world to accept bitcoin, London Theatre Direct continues to innovate using new technologies. We connect directly to the box offices of the majority of London theatres or hold ticket allocations, allowing the maximum range of ticket prices and availability. Interactive seating plans allow customers to select their own seats. London Theatre Direct are fully bonded official ticket agents for all of London’s major theatres and are full members of S.T.A.R., the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers. Aside from their b2c website, London Theatre Direct consolidates several disparate box office software technologies and offers selected partners a simple API.
