NB. 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.

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 £12.80 for a ticket normally costing £16.00, or £6.00 for a ticket normally costing £7.50.
