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.
Professor Ally Lewis, University of York
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread changes in working patterns and reduced mobility all around the world. One early result of this, widely discussed in the media, was an apparent improvement in air quality. So did the pandemic really change the atmosphere, and if it did, is it now returning back to normal?
Short-term changes in emissions provide an opportunity to see how the atmosphere might respond in a future world, and this talk will explore what we have (and haven’t) learned over the last 18 months and the implications for both public health and climate change policy.
Professor Ally Lewis is an experimental atmospheric chemist based at the University of York, and a science director at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science. He has specialised in developing new methods to quantify pollution and made field measurements on all seven continents. He has worked on many different aspects of air pollution science, including diesel engine emissions, solvents and domestic products and the effects of the energy sector on atmospheric composition. He is currently chairs the government’s independent science advisory committee on air pollution, and the science advisory council of the Department for Transport.
