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.
This may be just the talk to set a young person off into a career in this area.
The survival of primates: why they matter and the challenge of saving them
‘From lemurs to orangutans and tarsiers to gorillas, primates are captivating and remarkably diverse. They are also in dire trouble. Sixty per cent of primate species are threatened with extinction, and 75 per cent are in decline. This dismal situation is all because of one species: us. I will present the incredible diversity of primates, their ecological importance, the threats they face and the solutions that could save them.’ – Jo Setchell
Suggested donation of £6 which can be paid during and after the event. Find out more at www.cafesci-stockton.org.uk.

About the speaker - Jo Setchell
Jo Setchell is a primatologist, Professor of Anthropology at Durham University and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Primatology. She has spent many years in Gabon studying mandrills – one of the most extraordinary mammals in the world. This work is highly collaborative, integrating a wide variety of methods, including behavioural observations, morphology, demography, genetics, endocrinology, chemical ecology, disease and dental histology.
Jo has also studied conducted primate fieldwork in Cameroon, Congo, Malaysia and Peru and visited many other primate range countries. Her experiences have convinced her that conservation requires a deep understanding of the historical, political and social context of our interactions with our fellow primates if it is to be successful and thus requires a social science approach.
