We're not seeing this, but would be interested as to whether the Menier's new multi level friends schemes appear to have affected the number and quality of seats available to us poor, but usually first day of public booking, peasants.
The scheme appeared to have had little effect, there were loads of tickets available when booking opened to us mere mortals. They do look like they're selling quite well now though.
