Tickets & Orders
Where is my e-ticket?
Your e-ticket will be linked to in your confirmation email. This sometimes gets caught in spam filters. Don’t worry if you can’t find it, we can always check your name on the door.
What is a Pay Less/ Pay More ticket?
Instead of the full price/concession model, we have a three-tier ticket pricing system:
- Standard: This is the regular ticket price.
- Pay more: For those who can afford to help us offer cheaper tickets to people who need them.
- Pay less: For those who can’t afford the standard price.
This asks people to select which price they pay not based on their age or education, but based on what they can afford to spend.
Please pick the price which is the best fit for you.
What is your refund policy?
Our full refund policy can be seen here: https://oldfirestation.org.uk/about/tickets/
Do you have allocated seating?
We do not have allocated seating. If you require a specific seat for accessibility reasons please contact us on 01865263990 or tickets@oldfirestation.org.uk before the show to confirm.
