Pottermore emails out the details of the closed sale of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child tickets through their site later on this week.

There’s only one show that people want tickets to more than Hamilton the Musical, and that’s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. But one of the most frustrating aspects of trying to get tickets to either one of those shows is that when ever there’s a sale to the public (and that includes the Friday Forty) fans are always going up against bots, and their sophisticated programming that gets those tickets faster than any human can, only to resell them back through Ebay and the like at horrifically marked up prices.

Pottermore is taking steps to try and ensure that fans get a fair shake. To that end, they are doing a closed ticket sale via their website this coming week. Per an email sent to fans today,we now have the details of when and how that sale will happen.

We’re thrilled to offer our registered Pottermore users the opportunity to buy tickets to attend a performance of both parts on 1st September 2016. Tickets will be available to purchase from 1pm (BST) on Thursday 21st July (subject to availability).

So how will the tickets be purchased? The answer is *only* through Pottermore’s website, and via the email instructions.

You will receive an email later this week before the tickets go on sale containing instructions and a link directing you to purchase tickets from Nimax, one of the official ticketing partners for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Tickets will only be available via this link and not via the official play website.

Hopefully this will give fans a fair shake to get a crack at the tickets. Still, they are a limited amount of tickets, as the email notes. Also, travel accommodations are not included in any way, so Americans, if you do go for tickets and get them, be aware, the rest of your suddenly unplanned Harry Potter vacation is on your credit card.
