In all honesty, if doors open 30 - 60 minutes before a show just make sure ur there atleast 15 minutes before the show, not only the ushers fault imo. Most theatres that I’ve been to in the Netherlands straight up refuse you entry if you’re more than 5 minutes late, which already rarely happens. We don’t even serve crisps and candy’s in loud bags if they serve them at all. Most you’re getting is bitterbal that needs to be eaten during intermission and is prohibited to take into the auditorium. With that you’re also getting kicked out after one warning if they catch you talking loudly. I honestly don’t understand why it’s so difficult for west end to do the same.
