Star attraction: Ewan McGregor will play Iago in Shakespeare's Othello at the Donmar Warehouse

Tickets to see Ewan McGregor in the sold-out production of Othello are exchanging hands for more than £1,200 each.

Shakespeare's play at the Donmar Warehouse is proving more popular than the one-off Led Zeppelin reunion gig and the Spice Girls tour, according to ticket exchange company Viagogo.

The only tickets left for the 12-week run are for day seats and standing places. Donmar's box office prices range from £15 to £29 for the production but online the average price for a resale ticket is £1,220.

Eric Baker, CEO of Viagogo, said: "Who would have believed 400 years after it was written Othello would be the most popular ticket in town?"

I can't see the big problem everyone has with scalpers. Supply and demand. If people want to pay for something, and it's scarce then the price goes up surely. But then I got some tickets (from a well-known online auction site and for much much less than the 1200 in the article.

Well that's disappointing. Scalpers ruin everything.

The fact that they are performing this production in such a tiny venue only adds to the problem of blatant ticket scalping. Theatres are for plays and "warehouses" are for storing stuff.
