Break a leg, not the bank.

Check prices directly from the theatre.
When in doubt, call or visit the box office. Buying directly from the theatre will save you from paying booking and finder's fees to third-party ticketing agencies, and in some lucky moments, may make you aware of a ticket pricing scheme that was unclear or unlisted online.
Go beyond the West End.
London theatre doesn't end at the West End. There are over 80 Off West End and Fringe Venues throughout the city producing high-quality plays. The Almeida Theatre sells tickets as low as £9, and many of its productions transfer to the West End - so see it first, and for cheaper! It's also nearly impossible to go wrong seeing a show at The Bush Theatre, the Finborough Theatre, or The Park Theatre, among many others. When in doubt, look up reviews of past performances at a Fringe or Off West End venue to get a feel for its overall quality.
Standing room is your friend.
Standing room tickets are often sold at discounted prices, but can often provide the best views! Shakespeare's Globe famously sells £5 standing room tickets for all performances, and these seats get you closer to the stage and give you the experience of watching Shakespeare in a traditional setting - everyone was standing in the 16th century!
