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.

In 2019, German film director Jens Meurer spent several months in the town of Cromer, just off the Norfolk coast. He followed people as they got ready for two events – Brexit and the annual end of pier variety show a burlesque mix of song and dance, stand-up comedy, and slapstick.
The result, a documentary, Seaside Special, acts as a time capsule into a world before lockdowns, when everything was on the brink of change, but traditions were being honoured and kept alive on stage.
This is one of Britain’s remaining end-of-the-pier variety shows and Director Meurer described the show as ‘not about becoming super-famous, but it was about entertaining the 500 people who were in that amazing Victorian Theatre twice a day’. Seaside Special premiered at the Cambridge Film Festival described as ‘delightful, thought-provoking, charming, and utterly heartwarming’.
