Booking Charges

Crescent Theatre Company productions and Crescent Cinema ticket prices include the costs associated with offering, staffing, managing and administering our box office system as well as the charges associated with the use of debit and credit cards and therefore we no longer charge an additional transaction fee per ticket.

Hirers of the Crescent that utilise the Crescent box office facility are encouraged to absorb these costs into their ticket prices and therefore advertise the full cost of the ticket in the face value. In some circumstances this is not possible and the Crescent reserves the right to add the necessary associated charges at point of sale.

The Crescent Theatre Box Office – Full Conditions of Sale

e) make any change whatsoever in the performance/event owing to any unforeseen or unavoidable cause

f) cancel or abandon the performance/event for reasons beyond its control without notice and without being liable to pay any person any compensation or damage whatsoever other than, at the management’s discretion, a possible percentage or maximum refund to the ticket holder of the value of the ticket

g) from August 1st 2019, all unpaid reservations will be released for re-sale 7 days prior to the performance date. This applies to all bookings.

When there is no performance the Box Office may not be open.  See our contact page for opening times.

Schools & Group Reservations: Tickets will only be held for 30 days prior to the receipt of a payment. All school and group reservations must be paid in full within 30 days of receipt of the reservation invoice, or 30 days prior to the performance, whichever is sooner. If payment is not received within these timelines the reservation will be cancelled, and tickets released for general sale. More information can be found here.

Ticket Exchange: Tickets may be exchanged for a different performance of the same event for a £1 administration fee providing the exchange happens before the events were due to take place.

Ticket Resale: The Crescent Theatre will endeavour to resell your tickets if necessary. However, we cannot guarantee this service and tickets will only be resold once no other is available for that performance. There is a charge of £1 per ticket.

Groups: Please call the Box Office on 0121 643 5858 for details of group rates.

Children: Children under 18 months old may attend as “babes in arms”.  They will not have their own seat unless a ticket is purchased for them and must sit on a parent/guardian’s lap.  Everyone over the age of 18 months must have their own ticket to attend any event.  We ask that you respect the enjoyment of other patrons and in the event of restlessness we request that you take the child from the auditorium.

Latecomers: Latecomers cannot be guaranteed immediate entry to the auditoria, but every effort will be made to seat them as soon as there is a suitable break in the performance. No-one can be admitted to the auditoria without a valid ticket.
