Check their web site http://www.donmarwarehouse.com/your-visit/box-office they sell standing room every day at 10AM and the line starts forming very early like 7AM or earlier depending on the show. Also Barclays has an offering see this link http://www.donmarwarehouse.com/barclays-front-row

Hope this helps

My Barclays Front Row experience

I set my alarm for pm instead of am, but "naturally" woke up about 5 minutes after the sale started. I thought all was lost, but after about 15 minutes of trying, 2 tickets popped up. This was for a Thursday matinee of Privacy and the front row right circle tix ended up being perfect with a clear view of the "audience participation" and when the play got boring in the second act a great view of Benedict Cumberbatch in a second row center orchestra seat. Definitely try for the Barclays though so you don't have to worry about queuing up for day seats.

The Donmar sell some tickets that have been held back two weeks before performances. You have to book them at 10am (British Summer Time) so if you aren't in the UK then, you'd have to be on the internet at some unearthly time. They are incredible value, being £10 only but you have to be quick.

The Donmar does do standing room on the day of the performance if they are sold out. When I stood for PARADE, I was at a bar behind the last row in the mezzanine. It was a fine view and reletively cheap, probably 15 or 20 pounds.

I second this. Their standing-room is fine, the view is pretty good (actually better than from some of the side seats on the upper level), and it's cheap.

According to their box-office website, standing tickets don't go onsale at any particular time, they're just sold on the day. Get there when the box office opens.
