The Box Office is based in the theatre’s foyer and it is where
customers purchase and collect tickets and can sign up for membership.
How it works
The box office is open on all main house performance nights, and for
two working days prior to a main house show opening. For studio shows,
it is open on performance nights only.
The team arrives at 6.45pm to print off all the pre-sold tickets and
file them ready for collection. From 7pm until the end of the
interval, we are open for audience members to purchase, or collect
pre-purchased, tickets. During busy performances the workload can
become very demanding. Patience and a calm composure are key
attributes required, and this is rewarded through a strong bond with
the other members of the team and an early finish (just after the
interval). Full training is given on the booking system, and
experienced box office staff are always on hand to advise when needed.
Commitment and reward
Working as a member of the box office team does not require you to be
there every night of the production and so is one of the most flexible
departments to work in. If you can support the team by taking a
position once or even twice a production, you will enjoy meeting our
audience members as well as all the people involved in the show.
Working here helps you to meet new people with similar interests and
build your confidence, and is a positive and rewarding experience. You
will become known around the theatre which can help you if you are
interested in working in the other departments too.
