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.
General Prices: Pay What You Decide
Duration: 1hr 30mins (approx)
Join us on a personal tour of Stockton in the streets near and around ARC mixing facts, recollections and fantasy to find beauty in ordinary sites around us. How do distinct local identities and histories merge with multiple characters of newcomers to Stockton? Where do their memories meet? How can we sustain ourselves as individuals and a community?
Following on the participatory street intervention and theatre performance T-shirts last October, artist Natasha Davis returns to Stockton to create with a group of local people a mini-walking tour like no other, starting from and finishing at ARC Stockton Art Centre. Conversations will blend local ecology and stories of comings and goings with anything that you – our audience and fellow walkers – may bring with you, celebrating Stockton and its people.
With Katharine Lam, Kevin Stephenson, Manel Zouabi, Nigel Wells and Paul Sharp.
