Tickets are non-exchangeable and non-refundable, unless an event is cancelled by the venue.
Seats are unallocated in the theatre, unless otherwise stated. Doors open 15 minutes before show start time.
We’ve gone paperless! We’re not issuing physical tickets at the moment and you don’t need to print anything. All you need to do is give the name on the booking at the door as you’re entering the theatre space and we check you in, there and then. If people in the booking are arriving separately, that’s no problem, we can check-in the individual people, not the total booking. If you have any issues or questions we’re here to help!
