Booking Fee
Please note all transactions over £5 include a booking fee, £3.50 for online and over the phone sales and £1 for transactions made in person.
We strive to keep our booking fees as low as possible, but operating both our venues is incredibly expensive, and as a Charitable Trust we receive little external funding and rely mostly on ticket sales and donations. The booking fee helps to support our ongoing running costs, as well as the upkeep of both buildings and provision of services to our audiences. It helps us to continue to thrive and provide venues that support the many visiting artists and companies that perform with us, as well as our loyal patrons and future audiences.
If you would like to contribute further, please consider donating or signing up to one of our membership plans, as these also help us a great deal with our ongoing work.
Worcester Theatres reserves the right to amend the booking fee at any time.
Payment
We accept all major credit and debit cards, cash and payment can also be made by cheque, payable to 'Worcester Theatres Charitable Trust'.
Ticket Exchange and Refunds
Ticekts are non-refundable, though ticket exchanges can be made at the discretion of the Box Office Management.
There is an administration charge of £1.50 per ticket exchanged.
Concessions
Where available, a Concession ticket applies to those aged 60+, students, children under 16, and the unwaged. Eligibility for concessions should be advised at time of booking and proof may be required.

- Where there is a mixture of full price and concessionary/discounted tickets in a party, the free tickets will be allocated to the cheapest ticket purchased.

Swan Studio Admission
Due to the nature of the space, it will not be possible to admit audience members once a performance has started in the Swan Studio. Similarly, audience members leaving the Studio during a performance will not be re-admitted (except after an interval).
Hirers
Worcester Theatres can accept no responsibility for the artistic content of Private Hirers’ events. Hirer events on our website will have a black 'h' in a red circle symbol next to the title, and are marked with a similar red 'H' in a red circle symbol in our brochure.
