Oct 18 2010: We have now sold out of advance tickets.

Oct 13 2010: Officially we have sold out of our advance ticket allocation, though as so many of you have written in begging for tickets, we’ve decided to release 50 standard tickets that we had been holding back to sell on the door.

Read on for full details, or if you just want to get ordering then visit the ticket page now.

What’s the deal?

There are still over two weeks to go before Saturday October 30, when Scala in King’s Cross plays host to WHITE MISCHIEF “The Haunted Ballroom“. We have sold a greater volume of tickets than ever before, in a shorter period of time than ever before. We understand that many guests will have been caught unawares by this, expecting that they should be able to get tickets two weeks before the party. This afternoon people have been writing in asking how they can get tickets, or worrying because their friends have places but they don’t.

The good news

Firstly we’re overjoyed to announce some more acts that we had been keeping up our sleeves as a final surprise. David McAlmont, the astonishing singer who has collaborated with composers Michael Nyman and David Arnold as well as with Bernard Butler, will take to the stage early in the night to enchant us with his magnificent voice. Later in the evening expect some thrust-and-parry from swordfighters LiveBlades. There will be a few more sideshows and walkabout performers added in the coming days, too.

The other bit of good news is that we kept aside 50 tickets to be sold on the door at £30 each. But seeing as we’ve received half a dozen begging letters already this afternoon, we have decided to put this final allocation up for sale so that you can be confident that your place is safe and can begin to plan your splendid outfits.

What’s the damage?

The price will be £28.25 per ticket. With service fee each ticket will come to £29.95 and there’s no postage charge. So you’ll be able to get these tickets in advance for less than it would have cost on the door. And these tickets are still cheaper than three of the other major parties on the alternative scene taking place over the Halloween weekend.

These are standard tickets.

Sorry, there are no more VIP tickets available…. so please don’t ask. They sold out over a month ago.

Any more questions please email us.

Last 50 tickets for White Mischief “The Haunted Ballroom” available from Brown Paper Tickets

Tickets for Saturday May 23, “Journey To The Centre Of The Earth”

Advance tickets are still available for this show and, we would predict, will continue to be available until mid-afternoon on Saturday May 23. That said, at the time of writing, (May 22, 2009), 75% of the tickets have sold. The early bird discount tickets and the VIP room tickets have all gone, leaving only standard priced tickets available. 

You can either book tickets online or in person.

• To book online, click on our link to TicketWeb

• We will hold back a few tickets at the door on the night but they will be £25, so we strongly recommend that you book ahead and pay the more reasonable £17.50!

• Groups of six or more can get group discounts – but please note that last chance for group bookings is today (Friday 22 May) –  contact us right away for details

• To book in person with no booking fee:

• Visit the Scala box office 10am-6pm Mon to Friday (275 Pentonville Road, King’s Cross, London, N1 9NL) 

• It is possible to purchase tickets in person with no booking fee from Lulu and Lush, 15 Lamb Street, Spitalfields; and Bordello, 55 Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch

Be sure to book in advance, as several of our previous shows have sold out well in advance of the night itself.

This being the start of summer, we’re selling fewer tickets than at the last Scala show, in a bid to ensure that it doesn’t get quite as rammed as last time. But we’ve already sold over 40% of the tickets so please do ensure you book in advance. There are also a few places left for the VIP room – which has air conditioning, seating, its own bar and a view over the main stage – but not many are left, so if you feel like going VIP it’s a good idea to book very soon.

Finally if you’re in a group of six or more you can contact us for group discounts.

However, we acknowledge that these are credit crunch times, so we will keep them on sale until after payday. This means that you have until Tuesday May 5 to buy your discounted tickets from http://whitemischief.eventbrite.com - after that tickets will rise to £17.50 plus booking fee.

Update 5 June: as tickets are selling out fast we can now only offer group discounts to groups of 10 or more. In order to book we will need advance payment via PayPal. For full details please get in touch with us via whitemischiefnight AT gmail DOT COM and we can offer you not only a discount but the opportunity to buy without booking fee. Groups over ten get an even greater discount, so if you have a birthday or other special occasion to celebrate on June 7 get in touch and we’ll go out of our way to make it special for you.

The early-bird tickets, which were priced at £10 each, are now all sold out. We’re just about to announce White Mischief properly, and the standard price for all general admission tickets ordered now is £15 each. This price will last throughout March and April; in May the price will go up to £20. Finally, tickets purchased on the door will be £25.

For those of you booking via TicketWeb there is an extra booking fee, and a delivery charge. If you wish to avoid these extra charges, you can always get your advance tickets in person at the Scala box office – weekdays 10am to 6pm.

As our previous shows have sold out we strongly encourage everyone to order tickets well in advance. Not only do you benefit from lower ticket prices, but also you guarantee your entry. With nearly two dozen bands, DJs and vaudeville performers and spontaneous theatrical adventures bursting out of every corner, White Mischief’s one-night festival is worth every penny.

Meanwhile we have a separate offer, with a separate ticket price which will allow access all night to the VIP room. More details about that in another post.

A few of you have asked whether there is a smoking area at the venue, and the answer is yes: there is an outdoor smoking patio accessible from the main stage, so you won’t even have to leave the venue. Some people have asked us whether they need to dress up: the answer is that we encourage people to get into the spirit of the occasion, although dressing up is not compulsory. For anyone seeking a quick yet top-notch means of putting together the finest outfit, we recommend Prangsta above all others. If you have any questions about the night, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Advance tickets are £20 – or £15 with the discount. Tickets on the door will be £25, so do book ahead to be sure of the best value as well as to be sure of getting in, as our last event sold out in advance.

TicketWeb can be reached online or by telephone on 08700 600 100, 24 hours a day. These tickets are subject to a booking fee.

Alternatively, if you wish to avoid the booking fee, you can visit Scala in person 10am-6pm Monday to Friday, and pay in cash. Scala is 275 Pentonville Road, King’s Cross, London N1 9NL. Scala is right by the Thameslink trains and just a hop, skip and a jump away from King’s Cross rail / Underground.
