Tickets for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child from January 2018 and beyond in London will be available for purchase sometime later this year, a new report announced. All tickets for the two-part production of the eighth story in Harry Potter's saga are already sold out, save the Friday Forty available each week.

The new booking period will be announced later this year for performances beginning 13 December 2017.

Do note that there is a chance that dates for Toronto and New York City's productions of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child may be announced by then, so do keep an eye out here for all updates.

A huge concern has loomed among those involved in the Cursed Child plays as tickets are being re-sold by scalpers online illegally for thousands of dollars, at 30 times or more the original price of the productions tickets. The most expensive tickets for the plays are sold for £140 (though sold out now), but websites are reselling them at well over £6000.

The producers caution all Harry Potter fans and theatregoers to avoid purchasing those tickets, as they will be void when used at the Palace Theatre box office, and guests will not gain entry into the plays in London.

"We have already been able to identify, and refuse entry to a significant number of people who purchased tickets through resale sites and will continue to track down touts and refuse entry to anyone who has knowingly bought a ticket from a tout through the secondary market."

If anyone comes across any secondary websites selling Cursed Child tickets, please do not purchase them. They will not be valid.
