Meh, it's just a script. I sold my first row dress circle tickets when I found out how cliche the plot is.

Of course it would sell out, we're suckers for Harry Potter. :tongue: I preordered from Waterstones, so I got it half price.

Don't be silly, anyone can read a script. I had to write one too, I did Film Studies in college *rolls eyes*.
I'm just saying that publishing a script, instead of an actual novel is quite cheap. Plus if you're even slightly familiar with fanfiction.... the whole thing will just make you laugh.

I've read some HP fanfiction :tongue:. then again publishing a script would suit me or I'd be furious I couldn't go to see it - the tickets are around £200!!! plus I live nowhere near London at all...

"We are pleased to announce that on 4 August 2016 at 11am BST, a further 250,000 tickets will be released for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Palace Theatre for performances from 27 May to 10 December 2017. Tickets are priced from £15 and there will be 300 tickets for every performance at £20 or less per part. " - You might be interested, if you want to see it really badly.
Still, I don't think it's worth it.

hmmm probably not - only go to London like once a year bc I'm still @ 6th form/college surviving on a paper round lol, plus we'd have to books kennels for our dog, & most likely stay overnight in a travelodge... which all add up :frown::smile:
but hey who needs to pay that when you can buy the book for £10? :smile: are you getting the script/book on sunday?

I don't know. To be honest, I find the plot so ridiculous that a part of me doesn't even want to read it for free :laugh:
