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.
Roustabout Theatre is an award-winning team of theatre makers based in Bristol, born out of over ten years of collaboration and nonsense. Comprising Robin Hemmings, Toby Hulse, Alice Massey and Shae Rooke, they seek out extraordinary tales, both true and imagined, and tell them with clarity, simplicity, humour and a wild imagination. Performed in theatres, schools, libraries and community venues, their work is for audiences of all ages, for anyone who loves play, and for anyone who delights in the communal act of sharing a story.
While they’re in Stockton this week, they’ll be working on their new family show.
Why did Red Riding Hood need a man to rescue her from the wolf? Why do we know her by an article of clothing rather than her real name? Why are the victims of the story all women? What would Little Red Riding Hood do if she could? And what is stopping her?
This original play, at turns funny, moving, and challenging, and featuring original songs, imagines how this and the other fairy tales we share with children might be different if we dared to ask these vital questions.
