Free Night in a Hotel When You Buy a Top Price Theatre Ticket

There's a distinct feeling of being under siege in the offices of online theatre ticket specialists BestofTheatre.co.uk  this week as orders flood in for what's turning out to be one of their most popular special offers ever: Book a top price ticket for a West End show and enjoy a free night in a smart three star central London hotel... plus breakfast!

“We always get a healthy response to our special offers,” comments BestofTheatre.co.uk's General Manager Francis Bonnefous, “but this particular offer seems to have struck a genuine chord with couples. Money is very tight for a lot of people and they're making an extra effort to track down the best value deals.”

So, despite a troubled economy it looks as though Valentine couples are determined to push the boat out for the new decade and celebrate in style. In recent years there's been a growing trend towards making a splash, spreading Valentine’s Day celebrations over an entire weekend. Because Valentine's Day falls on a weekend this year, Friday 12th to Sunday 14th February, 2010 is proving a bumper year.

At the same time Valentines are becoming much more adventurous. Not so long ago most couples would buy each other a card, perhaps a bunch of flowers. Today's lovers go bungee jumping in New Zealand, take a spa break, ski, eat out in a fine restaurant and even go paint balling on Valentine's Day. Or, like BestofTheatre.co.uk customers, they make a weekend of it and book a show in town.

An impressive thirteen of London's top West End shows are taking part in BestofTheatre.co.uk's free hotel promotion, all of which are already drawing huge crowds. There is 39 Steps, Billy Elliot, Blood Brothers, Chicago, Dirty Dancing, Dreamboats and Grease for a start, plus Hairspray, Sister Act, Stomp, Thriller, We Will Rock You and - last but never least – Wicked.

Because a 3 star hotel room in central London can cost upwards of £45 per person, often a great deal more, enjoying a night for free means couples make significant savings. A night on the town with a show is a treat. But a West End show plus a night in a hotel and continental breakfast the next morning is something extra special.

“All couples have to do is pay for a top price theatre ticket and we throw in a free night’s bed and continental breakfast in a smart 3 star central London hotel.” explains Francis Bonnefous, “We've also thrown bargain upgrades into the mix to make our offer even more attractive. Couples can upgrade to a four star hotel from just £20 each or pay £50 each and upgrade to a five star hotel.”
