Standard entry tickets grant entry to unreserved seating in the stalls, circle and upper circle (if in use). If its very busy they may be some standing tickets. Get there as early as possible to secure a good seat!

Concession pricing is for anyone who believes they need to pay less, for example unemployed folks, those on low income, or those accessing benefits. (Note: if you are struggling to a afford a ticket at all, see NOTAFLOF info in access section below for more info)

VITL (Very Important Time Lords) tickets include a seat on a table with the best view of the action up front, plus some timey-wimey treats. The extra cost of the VITL tickets helps to subsidise concession and NOTAFLOF (not turned away from lack of funds) tickets, so please do consider purchasing a VITL ticket if you are able.
