VAT increase 1 Jan 2010

We are pleased to inform you that although the VAT rate will return to its previous level of 17.5% on 1 Jan 2010, the majority of our ticket prices will not increase.

However, in a small number a cases, events presented by external promoters, will see a ticket price increase to cover the VAT increase. Sadly, this is beyond our control and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
