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.
Growth Hub Stockton is part of the Pioneering Care Partnership. They are a community garden centre, café and plant nursery that supports and empowers intellectually disabled adults within Stockton to engage positively with the larger community. Developing skills, building confidence and grow independence in a supportive enterprising environment. Participating in a range of enterprising activities aligned to garden centre but also the interests of the attendees. This led to the creation of the photography group.
The photography team is led by Denis Dunning. During his career Denis has been a professional photographer, a lecturer in photography and a tutor for enthusiastic adults looking to develop their photography skills. The team is dynamic and is composed of attendees of Growth Hub Stockton’s learning disability service. The provision supports individuals with a range of disabilities, primarily learning disabilities but often autism, ADHD, sensory, physical as well as and barriers to independence. This broad range is reflected within the photography team.
