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.
MC Matt Reed is lighting up the stage again for our Christmas Special and he’ll be introducing another sparkling line-up!
Jack Carroll featured on Britain’s Got Talent in 2013 at the age of just 14, when judge David Walliams hailed him ‘a comedy genius’. The previous year he won a Daily Mirror Pride Of Britain award, after gaining fame via the internet, when a video of his first gig at his parents’ wedding anniversary attracted 10,000 YouTube hits. He has also supported Jason Manford, for a segment on BBC’s The One Show and had a regular role in David Walliams sitcom Big School.
Omar Abid’s material is very clever and often a little controversial. He has a wonderful self-deprecating style that weaves around social commentary based material, delivered in a trademark, confident yet calm style. Omar has an incredibly dry delivery which works perfectly for him due to his well thought out topical, yet twisted humour.
With his blend of cocky insults and slick banter, John Fothergill has the experience to know how to command an audience. You’re always in safe hands when this lively Geordie’s on stage.
