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.
Join us for the launch of a very special book celebrating the libraries of the Tees Valley. Writer-in-residence Debbie Rolls and photographer-in-residence Jo Booth have captured the thoughts and memories of library users in Teesside to create this unique tribute to our libraries. Tonight will be the first opportunity to view the book published by Sixth Element Publishing.
With a free drink for all attendees and a special celebration cake we’ll also be marking the 10th birthday of Crossing the Tees Book Festival. This is a chance to remember all the fabulous events that have been part of the festival and we’ll be showing the film of ‘We hope this finds you well’ that premiered at 2022’s festival.
