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.

Screenings of this film are relaxed screenings designed with autistic people in mind, but everyone is welcome.
The screening has been arranged in collaboration with Family Action Stockton Family Outreach and Volunteering Service, a charity who provide vital practical family support and volunteering opportunities across the borough. By “building stronger families” they aim to empower communities to empower themselves.
Up tells the story of 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who in a determined effort to defy his helpless senior citizen status and fulfil a lifelong dream, ties thousands of balloons to his house and floats away to South America. Soon after his remarkable lift-off, Carl finds that he has a stowaway: an 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. The two find a lost world full of incredible adventures and must learn to survive their new surroundings—and each other.
Directors: Pete Docter, Bob Peterson
Cast: Edward Anser, Christopher Plummer,
