How do I get my free tickets?
You can book your free ticket at the box office in person or over the phone on 020 8985 2424 (free tickets not available online).
Tickets are offered on a first-come, first-served basis for all shows and are subject to availability. Only one free ticket per person per show but you can book free tickets for up to five friends (all of whom must be under 26 and each ticket holder must fill in a voucher and bring photographic ID, see below).
What happens then?
You’ll need to collect your free tickets on the day of the performance (no later than 30 minutes before the start of the show). You must also fill in a voucher giving us your name, address, mobile number, email address and date of birth. You can either download the voucher from our website here or fill it in when you collect your tickets at the box office. We will automatically put you on our e-list to receive more information on upcoming productions.
When you collect your tickets on the night, you must provide photographic ID; driving licence, a valid passport, a PASS-approved card, a 16-25 Railcard etc. NUS cards will not be accepted as proof of age. Tickets cannot be transferred to someone else and will only be issued to the person who booked (on production of ID).
If you don’t collect your tickets and haven’t let the theatre know, you may not be allowed to use this scheme at this theatre or the others.
When can I book?
Staright away!
What shows can I see?
If it’s on our website or in our brochure then you can get a free ticket! But book early as tickets are subject to availability.
