Discounts
Discounted prices apply (unless otherwise stated) to Senior Citizens, groups of 8 or more, JSA claimants, people in receipt of Income Support (including Pensions Credit), disabled people, full-time students (aged 16 & over) and children aged 3 to 15. Please be prepared to provide proof of status. Only one discount can apply per ticket.
School & Group Discounts
Special discounts are usually available for groups and schools. In addition to our standard rate for groups of 8 or more (available on most shows), we are also usually able to offer more generous discounts for groups of 20 or more (or 10+ for schools). For many shows, teachers accompanying school or student groups are free – ask at the Box Office. To join our free groups’ mailing list call the Marketing Department on 01298 72050 or email marketingassistant@boh.org.uk.

Children in the Theatre
Children are welcome at the Opera House but please note the following:
- Children under the age of 12 should be accompanied by an adult.
- School or children’s groups of 10 or more should be accompanied by at least one adult per 10 children.
- Children under the age of 3 can only be admitted at family shows where the £2.50 discounted price is indicated.
- A safety leaflet is produced for all families using the balconies or boxes; please ask when booking. For safety reasons, Upper Circle side seats & boxes are not sold to families with children under 10.
Standby Tickets
Limited numbers of £5 Standby tickets are available for most performances (see individual performances for details) from one hour before the performance (not Dress Circle seats), to Full-time Students (aged 16 & over) and people in receipt of JSA/Income Support. Proof of status is required.
Disabled Customers & Companions
Registered Disabled customers receive discounts to many performances, as indicated in each event listing on this site. Essential companions who are Registered Carers or who are in receipt of Carers’ Allowance are admitted free (proof of eligibility will be required). Companions outside these categories receive a 50% discount (when discounts are available on that performance).
