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.
Co-creation isn’t just putting a workshop on. It’s about power, trust, care and complexity – and most of all, people.
This session is a chance to get stuck into what co-creation and co-production really mean in practice – especially for artists, communities and organisations working across Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland.
Led by Chloe Lawrence (ARC Stockton), we’ll explore practical models, ask some honest questions about what works and what doesn’t, and reflect on how to support this kind of work better – from both sides.
This is a space to talk, listen and figure things out together – including the messy bits that don’t fit in funding applications.
Perfect if you’re curious about co-creation, already doing bits of it, or just want to think more deeply about how we work with people, not just for them.
Location: Redcar Civic Centre – Committee Room, Ridley Street, Redcar TS10 1TD.
This event is part of the wider Borderlands training programme of activity to support the Communities of Possibility commissions. This session is for artists, producers, community workers and anyone supporting public-facing creative activity across Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland.
