Dynamic Pricing Info
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.

Tees Valley International Film Festival (TVIFF) 2026 presents the gala premiere of Paul Suggitt’s new feature length documentary ‘This Is Pete’, a raw, unglamorous look at 2006 Big Brother winner Pete Bennett.
Told in his own words, the film tells the story of an unexpected star. A man who was handed everything, lost it all and then, against all the odds, forged a path to a new life that brought the true happiness and opportunity that reality TV fame promised but failed to deliver.
When Pete stepped out of the Big Brother house in 2006 as winner, he was the most famous faces in the country. His energy, honesty, and unfiltered Tourette’s captured the public’s heart and awarded him victory and the £100,000 prize.
He entered the legendary Big Brother house as a good natured raver with Tourette’s Syndrome. Six weeks later, after his energy, honesty and unique personality had captured the nation’s heart, he emerged from the legendary house as the most famous face in the country, £100,000 richer and having gifted the public with a greater understanding of the condition that has dogged him since childhood.
‘This Is Pete’ isn’t about reality TV. It’s about what happens when the cameras stop rolling and the fame begins to fade. The film explores the reality of Pete’s life after the star of celebrity disappeared. It covers the darkness that followed overnight celebrity: addiction, homelessness and the tragic passing of Nikki Grahame.
This gala premiere will feature a live Q&A with Pete Bennett and filmmaker Paul Suggitt. The audience members will also have chance to ask Pete and Paul their own questions after enjoying this fascinating documentary on a wonderful person and the unique life he’s led.
