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.

Information about screenings with subtitles
Subtitled screenings offer captions which transcribe dialogue only. Subtitled screenings attempt to give D/deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers an understanding of the spoken dialogue within the film, but do not include description about other aspects of the soundtrack, including music and sound effects.

BBFC rating information (may contain spoilers)
violence
Scenes of domestic abuse include those in which a violent husband verbally and physically abuses his wife and young stepson. These scenes include a heavy slap to the boy and his wife, with the latter blow splitting the woman’s lip, and a scene in which the man intentionally invades his wife’s personal space and forces a kiss on her. The woman subsequently exacts violent retribution against her abusive husband, who she drugs before burning his genitals below frame with a blowtorch.
language
There is strong language (‘f**k’), as well as milder terms (for example, ‘asshole’, ‘shit’, ‘bastard’, ‘balls’, ‘jerk’, ‘God’, ‘damn’).
sexual violence and sexual threat
Following a scene of domestic violence, a woman is raped by her husband. There are also verbal death references, as well as scenes in which people grieve.
