What are ‘Pay What You Can’ tickets? We believe that arts should be accessible for all. For this reason some of our shows and events this year will be ‘Pay What You Can’, meaning that you decide how much you can or want to pay. You will see multiple prices available for each show or event. You can select whichever price you can afford or would like to pay – thank you.
