Our Performance Programme is Pay What You Can

At Exeter Phoenix, we strive to make our Performance Programme as accessible as possible. Whether you are here to watch an award-winning show by an internationally renowned company or a work-in-progress performance by emerging South West talent, we are proud to offer a range of ticket prices under our Pay What You Can scheme.

Lower cost should not equal lower quality.

We believe that everyone should be able to access high quality art and culture, and we are constantly working behind-the-scenes to implement unique, creative and cost-effective solutions that enhance and advance our offering to the community​. It is our mission is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience innovative work at the forefront of contemporary practice. We aim to share the magic of live performance, to empower artists and audiences alike, to nurture the wider community, and to inspire positive change.

Our Pay What You Can ticket scheme serves to demonstrate our commitment to our community. While theatre ticket prices continue to soar across the country, our audiences can decide to pay £8, £10, £12, £14 or £16, while Students & Under 25s can access £6 tickets all year round. We guarantee you won’t find lower ticket prices at any other performing arts venue in the region!

We know that our audiences believe in our mission to support a thriving creative and cultural city, with many opting to pay the recommended price of £16. We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your ongoing support. Not only does this help the artists who make the work, it allows us to facilitate the development of new talent by giving artists the tools to experiment, take risks and realise their best ideas. This means we can present even more exciting events in Exeter and continue to nurture a thriving local arts ecology. We exist because our audience continues to support and cherish what we do.

Thank you!
