16-25 £5 Ticket Offer
The RSC would like to make Shakespeare and live theatre accessible to young adults coming to the theatre independently. For this reason we offer tickets for all productions for just £5 to anyone aged from 16 – 25.
These tickets are allocated throughout the theatre, which means you could save up to £30 on the standard ticket price.
You can currently purchase £5 tickets for performances in Stratford-upon-Avon, Newcastle upon Tyne and on tour.
