Dynamic Pricing
ARC’s policy is to set ticket prices based on demand, like budget airlines, which means we set a price when the event goes on sale and then sometimes put the price up or down depending on how the show is selling. Usually, the price will increase as we get closer to the event, so it is advantageous to book in advance, although sometimes we will put special offers on and reduce the price. Our website will always show the current ticket price.
ARC’s theatre and dance performances are priced on a Pay What You Decide basis, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen a show!
We want to encourage more people to come and see shows at ARC, more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.
Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the show. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.
All money collected will help ARC pay the artists who have performed, and we therefore hope you will give generously.
Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash on the door or by card at the Box Office.
Seating: Unallocated - Theatre Style
Together with the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority, ARC is delighted to invite you to the launch of Tees Valley Creates: The Freelancer Network, a new programme designed to connect, support and develop creative freelancers born, living or working in the Tees Valley. Please join us for the launch event on Wednesday 13th November, at The Theatre, ARC, Stockton. The event will feature two dynamic panel discussions and plenty of opportunities to connect and network:
- Panel 1: Introducing the project and meeting our creative and cultural partners.
- Panel 2: A lively conversation with freelancers from a variety of creative disciplines working in the Tees Valley.
Additionally, we’ll be showcasing local talent through performance and offering a chance for attendees to meet with organisations dedicated to supporting freelance professionals. Plus, those who sign up to the network at the event will be entered into an exclusive prize draw for the very first micro-grants, to be awarded in December!
You can also look forward to enjoying some delicious food while you network and connect with others. We can’t wait to launch this exciting network and support freelancers that are a vital part of the thriving creative and cultural industries in the Tees Valley, and hope you’ll join us to find out more. We’d love for you to attend, and if you know other freelancers or creative professionals, feel free to share this invite—we’re building something amazing, and we want everyone to be a part of it!
This Project is funded by the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority and is receiving funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
