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.

BBFC Rating Info (May Contain Spoilers)
Violence
In a clearly established fantastical context, good and evil factions battle one another with bows and arrows and swords, as well as magical powers that unleash energy blasts. A monstrous horned creature hurls human characters around and throws masonry at them, and a friendly dragon is shot in the wing with a crossbow bolt, but there is no realistic injury detail. A person slaps another in the face, and in response he is hit with a blunt object.
Threat and Horror
Both human characters and fantastical friendly creatures face threatening situations, such as intended beatings, falls from heights and attacks by poisonous insects. A man transforms into a horned monster and zombie-like creatures menace a group of soldiers. These scenes of mild threat and scariness are not unduly sustained and reassuring outcomes arrive in timely fashion.
Language
There is implied mild bad language as a character says, “This stuff tastes like sh…”, but quickly changes the term to ‘sugar’.
Rude Humour
A mouse vomits in comical fashion.
Theme
There are very mild upsetting scenes centred on the deaths of sympathetic characters, but these moments are either fantastical or handled with restraint and sensitivity.
