Zones closer to the stage and Friday and Saturday performances are generally in higher price bands, while seats further back or to the sides are cheaper.

How can I get cheap tickets for Annie in Southampton?

To keep costs down, choose Monday to Thursday performances, as discounts at Mayflower Theatre do not apply to Friday and Saturday shows.
