First Time Fridays

The perfect introduction to the RSC. See any show in Stratford-upon-Avon on any Friday for just £10.

Tickets for performances in Stratford-upon-Avon

Ticket prices start from £16 depending on when you'd like to see a production and where you'd like to sit in the theatre. One of the easiest ways to look at ticket prices is to visit the Book Tickets section, select the production you would like to see and use the Select Your Own Seat facility to see exact seats and prices.

Here's what you can do if you are looking to save money on the price of your ticket:

Book early if possible for the lowest prices, or join as a Member or Patron to get the best price guarantee in Priority Booking
Use discounts where you can: First Time Fridays if you’ve never been before, RSC Key £5 tickets if you’re 16-25, CV37 tickets if you're local, children go half price Monday to Friday evenings and all matinees
Upper levels tend to be cheaper than the stalls and try a restricted view seat for a low price ticket – you often still have a great view of most of the stage
Look for reduced price previews or midweek evening performances (usually lower prices than weekends and matinees)
