Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall. Occasionally, when the fixed
seating area has sold out, extra seats may be put out at the front of the
hall. Box Office staff will try to alert customers if a concert is likely
to sell out. However, please check if you are particularly anxious to reserve
a front row seat or wish to exchange for a seat elsewhere in the hall.
MULTIPLE BOOKING DISCOUNTS
Special savings are available for multiple bookings. As well as saving
you money, booking for a number of concerts at the same time is more convenient
for you, saves you time and ensures that you have your chosen seat for
each concert, even for sell-outs.
You can make multiple bookings up to and including the date of the first
concert you will be attending.
Please note, multiple booking discounts are applicable in all price
bands including concessions, with the exception of the Standard Student
£3 ticket.

discount on each ticket. So you will pay £14.40 for a ticket normally
costing £16.00, or £6.75 for a ticket normally costing £7.50.
15% off
When you buy for five or more concerts you will be given a 15%
discount on each ticket. So you will pay £13.60 for a ticket normally
costing £16.00, or £6.38 for a ticket normally costing £7.50.
Double your discount
When you buy for eight or more concerts you can double your discount;
that is, take 20% off the price of your ticket. So you will pay

for a ticket normally costing £7.50.
