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 information (may contain spoilers)
Violence
Brief flashbacks show a man berating, shaking and then punching his young son, without visible injury detail. Teenage convicts slam into one another during a brief moderate fist fight, accidentally throwing a woman against a wall when she tries to intervene.
Threat and horror
There are occasional scenes of mild threat.
Language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’), as well as partial, cut-off strong language (e.g. ‘what the f–?’, ‘motherfu–’). Milder terms include ‘puta’, ‘bitch’, ‘son of a bitch’, ‘taint’, ‘gooch’, ‘screw you’, ‘pendejo’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘balls’, ‘ass’, ‘asshole’, ‘piss’, ‘damn’, ‘hell’, ‘butt’, ‘booty’ and ‘freaking’.
Sex
There are occasional moderate crude sex references and innuendo, such as when a teenage boy at a campsite asks a female staff member if she enjoyed the boys’ ‘pitched tents’ last night, provoking an exasperated response.
Discrimination
Teenage boys occasionally refer to ‘getting bitches’ and insult each other using terms such as ‘bitch’ and ‘puta’.
Drugs
Teenagers joke briefly about marijuana misuse. In another scene a teen jokes that his metalwork teacher has been ‘huffing and puffing’ welding fumes.
Rude humour
Occasional mild rude humour includes a sequence of projectile vomiting.
Theme
There are occasional references to a teenage boy’s eating disorder. An adult in a role of responsibility makes light of the issue but is chastised for this by his colleague. Upsetting scenes include one in which a character attends the bedside of a dying relative.
Alcohol and smoking
Teens are infrequently shown drinking alcohol.
Suicide and self-harm
After receiving some bad news, a teenager is found in a state of distress while standing on the edge of a canyon. However, an adult quickly intervenes to comfort and reassure him, and the issue is resolved in a positive manner.
