TICKET SALES INFORMATION

TICKETS (see Hire Rate – 2, full show, production, event)
Ticket printing, and ticket sales from our Box Office are included in the price of your hire. The Theatre charges a sales commission of £1.00 per ticket. It is up to The Company whether this is added to their ticket price (ie. An £8.00 ticket becomes £9.00), or the cost met by The Company.
 

• Companies CANNOT print or produce their own tickets unless discussed with the theatre beforehand.

• ALL ticket sales must pass through The Theatre’s Box Office unless discussed.

• If The Company wishes to distribute tickets, these tickets must be purchased from the Box Office.

• Blocks of tickets will be reserved, and a seating plan given to The Company.

• The Company can then take orders for tickets based on the block of seats they have reserved.

• The Company then return these orders to The Theatre’s Box Office, along with any ticket revenue, to collect the tickets required.

• When taking orders for tickets, The Company MUST make note of the price of the tickets ordered.

These conditions enable The Theatre to generate an accurate reconciliation sheet of your ticket sales at the end of your engagement.

The Theatre does not provide an online booking service at present. If The Company wishes to sell tickets online, this must be discussed with The Theatre, and organised/operated by The Company themselves.
