Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Following some sterling reviews from theatre critics, many fans were left frustrated knowing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was completely sold out.

Well, worry no more fellow Muggles, as 250,000 more tickets for the production at the Palace Theatre in London are to be released, its run extended through until December 2017.

Tickets for the two-part play will go on sale Thursday 4 August at 11am, prices starting at £15 per part, with 300 tickets per performance costing under £20. To see the whole performance, you will have to purchase two tickets, one per each half.

For those unable to get tickets, 40 tickets will be released every Friday for the following weeks’ performances. These are given out through a raffle system, the chosen people securing tickets for part one and two, priced at £20 per part (£40 in total).

Visit the official website for more details and buy tickets on the 4 August here.

The script for The Cursed Child is set to be released later this week, on the 31 July, with pre-orders at Waterstones alone reaching over 100,000. Meanwhile, reviews for the theatre production have been overwhelmingly positive, including a five-star review from The Independent.
