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 their second exhibition, What Do You Call Family?, Lizzie Lovejoy has collaborated with other Tees Valley creatives to create a series of illustrations and poems that reflect what family means to them.
This exhibition can be viewed in person in ARC’s Gallery. You can come down at anytime when we are open, its free to visit the exhibition and there is no need to book a ticket. The exhibition can also be viewed online by booking a free ticket and accessed through ARC’s dedicated online events platform.
A Change of Perspective is a project lead by Lizzie Lovejoy, Artist of Change for ARC, meant to explore various views on topics that are prevalent in the North and in the world of Art. This will consist of a podcast, a blog and a series of six exhibitions intended to answer three important questions:
“What Do You Call Home?”
“What Do You Call Family?”
“What Does It Mean To Be Working Class?”
