SUBSCRIPTIONS

What’s a subscription?

A subscription is a package that includes multiple plays, purchased together at the same time. When you purchase a subscription and become a Subscriber, you unlock exclusive benefits.

What are the benefits of becoming a Subscriber?

Subscribers enjoy access to the best seats at the best price, flexible exchanges, discounts on additional tickets and more exclusive benefits. Learn more here.

How many productions do I need to purchase in a subscription?

Subscription packages range from 3-10 plays.

Subscriptions for 7-10 plays are available from Wednesday 13 September

Subscriptions for 3-6 plays will be available later in the year. Join our mailing list to be kept up to date.

What’s a Package Add-On?

Package Add-Ons are additional productions that can be added to your subscription booking. Package Add-Ons are not counted as one of the 3-10 plays that form your subscription due to differences in price.


TICKET EXCHANGE FLEXIBILITY

Can I exchange my ticket to another date?

Please see our Ticket Exchange page for further information on ticket exchanges.

For further assistance, please contact us.

What if I have credit from past performances?

All Account Credit expired on 31 December 2022. If you redeemed your Account Credit for a Gift Voucher, you (or your Head Booker) can use that to pay for your tickets.

To redeem a voucher online, add your tickets/or subscriptions to cart, choose the ‘I have a Gift Voucher’ option on the Payment screen and enter the redemption code on the voucher, including the dash. The value of the voucher will then be deducted from your order.


PREPARING FOR YOUR VISIT

What’s the best way for me to collect my tickets?

We recommend opting for eTicket delivery where possible. eTickets are sent via email and can be displayed and scanned directly from a smart phone, so there’s no need to print your tickets.

If you choose eTicket delivery for your Subscription, the eTickets will be delivered via email to the Head Booker, two weeks prior to each performance.

Alternatively, physical tickets will be posted to the Head Booker once your booking has been finalised by our subscriptions team.

Having your eTickets or physical tickets on hand means you don’t have to queue at the box office prior to the performance.
