As someone who had their love of literature fostered by the works of J.K. Rowling during childhood, the fact that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child would receive an Australian theatrical production excited me for months after it was announced. I remember sitting at my work desk for several hours in 2018, 20,000th in a queue, waiting for the chance to buy tickets when the first wave of sales commenced. Of all my years seeing theatre, this remains an unrivalled highlight.
This time one year ago, previews had concluded for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Australia’s debut at the Princess Theatre, and performances of the long-awaited play had officially commenced. Coinciding with this milestone, the producers have begun ticket sales for shows up to and including Sunday 13 September 2020. New tickets are on sale from $65.00 AUD per part, excluding a booking fee.
Tickets for all currently available dates can be purchased via the dedicated Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Ticketmaster Website.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series, which has been created by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany. It takes place after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with a particular focus on Albus Severus Potter, the son of Harry Potter and Ginny Potter (nee Weasley).
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is split over two parts, each of which have an individual prices from $65.00 AUD to $155.00 AUD standalone, or two-part packages (including VIP packages) ranging from $130.00 AUD to $540.00 AUD. It is highly recommended (and I would second this) that you book a two-part package, which are spread over either a single day (Matinee Part 1 and Evening Part 2) or over two days (Evening Part 1 and Evening Part 2). As with any theatrical production with different price reserves, a higher price may indicate a closer / more central view of the stage.
