A Night Less Ordinary

Free Theatre tickets for Under 26s

We are proud to be continuing as partners in the A Night Less Ordinary scheme. Around 1400 free theatre tickets are available to under 26s.

If you know of a young person who has never experienced theatre before, or work with young people who may be interested in experiencing a play or theatre event, please do contact us.

We take audience development very seriously and this scheme aims to encourage a love of theatre from a very young age. We would love to hear from you if you live or work with young people who are eligible for the scheme.

Terms and Conditions

You must be 25 or under to qualify for the free tickets scheme. Proof of ID may be required.

A maximum of 2 tickets per person per event can be booked at any one time. University of Warwick students are entitled to two free tickets per season.

Your date of birth and address will be requested at the time of booking and will be recorded on your Box Office record.

The free ticket offer MUST be mentioned at the time of booking. Bookings can be taken in person or on the telephone but not online. If you book tickets over the phone, we will hold them for you for collection in person on the day of performance at Box Office.

If you are unable to attend, please notify Box Office by 9.30am on the day of performance so that we can re-issue your ticket. We will monitor bookers who do not claim their tickets and may restrict their future bookings within this scheme.

Tickets may be booked in advance when the season is launched. Events in the scheme will have an allocation of tickets which will be sold on a first come, first served basis. We reserve the right to adjust these allocations.

University of Warwick students: because we wish this scheme to reach as many young people as possible and there are a limited number of tickets available we are restricting the number of tickets each University of Warwick student can use to two each per term. Please note that our Five Star ticket offer still applies so if you wish to come again, please ask Box Office about the £5 ticket allocation.

Tickets cannot be exchanged with another person. Reselling a ticket makes it void.

On some events, an accompanying, paying adult must be present. These will be noted on the list of available events on the website. Children under 14 should always be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are issued according to our usual terms and conditions.
