Top-price theatre tickets in the West End of London have risen by more than 9% in a year, with the musical Cabaret offering the costliest seat at £303.95.

Research published on Thursday by industry newspaper the Stage for its annual ticketing survey found that the average top-priced West End ticket was £154.56, compared with £141.37 in 2023. Cabaret had the highest price for the third year in a row. For the first time in the survey’s history, three plays (as opposed to musicals) were found to be charging more than £200 for their most expensive seat.
