FAQs

How do I redeem a ticket offer?

Scheme members will have access to two different types of exclusive offers…

Student Seat Saver Member offers – we’ll add them to this page and share via email. They will usually be available to purchase using the code: SSS2526

Rush Tickets – available up to 48 hours before the performance time. You’ll be alerted to these via email.

Please note that discounts won’t be applied to your basket until you log into the Norwich Theatre account associated with your membership.

What are Rush Tickets?

Rush Tickets are tickets for shows and events which go on sale at short notice at a significantly reduced rate. But as the same suggests, if there’s an offer that catches your attention you need to be quick as the tickets available as part of the offer are often limited in number.

How will you check I am a student?

When you sign up to join the scheme, we ask that you sign up using an official UEA, NUA or CCN email address ending in ‘…ac.uk’.

We will then verify your details and get in touch via the email address you provided if we believe the details you’ve submitted are incorrect. In the event this happens, you will be notified by box office using the email address you initially provided.

You must also be able to present a valid form of student ID for your institution (if asked) when purchasing your tickets via our box office and/or when entering the auditorium.

I’m a student under 18 years old, why can't I join? 

As part of our mission to make theatre and creative experiences accessible to as many people as possible,  we’ve launched this scheme to help us engage with university students.  We already offer concession prices for those aged under 18 on a wide range of shows and activities. Education ticket rates, which can be purchased directly by Schools, Colleges and Universities are also available on over 50 performances each year. As this scheme is in its first year, we will review how it operates later in the academic year – you can feed back by emailing seatsaver@norwichtheatre.org
