Hopefully, by the time you start reading this article, you are already looking forward to get acquainted with Dutch theatre. If not, read this one first, because I'm about to explain you the next step in this enterprise (in case you want to make the experience lighter on your wallet).
# 1 - You hop onto http://lastminuteticketshop.nl/ and you take a look at the offer. This website will showcase theatre, dance, concerts, musicals and cabaret - only the performances that you can see tonight.
# 2 - You marvel at the fact that the shows are discounted up to 75% (!).
# 3 - You get the logic: tickets that weren't sold are now in the market for around half their original price. This is a smart way to get our theatres full and make a number of latecomers very happy.
# 4 - You pay.
# 5 - Now comes the part in which you actually attend your show of choice. And because I don't have my crystal ball on me, I don't know how that's going to go.
However... and this one is optional (but highly recommendable):
# 6 - You let us know how it went! Leave a comment on our Facebook or Instagram with all the juicy details, will you? ;)
