Anyone know when they extend tickets?  Right now tickets are only available until the end of June.  It has been that way for almost a month.  Thanks!

I think they release whole months at a time, just one calendar month ahead. For example, I believe on June 1st, July dates will be released. We are waiting for July dates to be released and I have June 1st on my calendar.

@nessz79 thanks but since mid April when I started looking dates were til the end of June.  It still is now too.  I googled and found an old thread somewhere where they emailed them March 2023 and they said mid May they would have July dates.  I emailed them late Friday afternoon.  I'll probably get a response back as they are putting up July dates!

New dates are now available, I have been haunting the ticket purchase page as well because we needed them for the first week of July and I was finally able to get them today, until now they had limited it to June. Hopefully the date you needed is up there now too.

@T-2  I'm glad you posted.  I discovered it this morning and shortly thereafter they sent me an email to let me know.  They put in dates for July and August with July 16 only having some limited tickets mid afternoon because of something special going on earlier.  

 

My tickets say to show your tickets on your mobile phone but doesn't say anything about putting into apple wallet.  I printed it out and sent an email to them to ask.  Hopefully there will be an answer when I wake up tomorrow.

Our tickets just came as a pdf, nothing about showing them on the phone but we do both- as a back up in case either the phone is stolen or can't get a signal. Maybe your tickets had some add ons so they preferred them on the phone rather than a lot of paperwork to carry for tours, books, commemorative coin. souvenirs. We decided to wait until we can see them to chose which ones to buy. I couldn't believe the selection! And that timer to purchase ticking off my 15 minutes. Just really glad you were able to get the date you wanted and when I saw your post, I knew I wasn't the only one helplessly searching. And perhaps others will now know  summer dates past June 30th are up!

@T-2 I did add in the Queen's Galleries.  We ended up buying tickets for August 1.  I felt bad for all those people wanting tickets beginning of July as they took so long to put them online to buy.  I just checked and only 12 tickets sold for the opening time on August 1.  I checked for July 1 too.  More sold but still more than 200 left.  I guess maybe most people buy last minute.

I was checking every other day, some people may not have been as persistant but we have a cruise before we stay in London, so for us, I really wanted to get this booked before we flew over. Maybe some people are just checking weekly, it did get discouraging. Thanks for making it not so lonesome :0)

You're welcome!  Enjoy your cruise.  Ours is after our stay in London.
