All tickets are non-refundable once purchased; an exchange or re-sale may be offered 24 hours prior to the event. All exchanges and re-sales of tickets will incur a £1 per ticket administration fee. Exchanges must be made for the same run of the show you were originally going to attend.

Please contact the Box Office to arrange your exchange or re-sale.

If you are unable to view the seating plan, you can select the ‘Best Available’ option. The website will then make a recommendation for you based on your seating requirements.

Please note that Internet Explorer 8 or older and Edge browsers are unable to support SVG, which is the programme that we use to display seats. Please consider upgrading your browser or using an alternative to take advantage of this functionality.

Alternatively, you can contact the Box Office to make your booking.

This is most likely because you are attempting to leave a single seat next to the seats you are trying to book.

In the interests of Curve’s customers, producers and artists we are committed to ensuring that our performances are as fully attended as possible. Occasionally potential occupancy is compromised if we are left with unsold single seats, and as an organisation we need to manage the supply of tickets.

In the majority of cases our single seat policy does not hinder your ability to purchase tickets. There will be instances when the online process will fail. We regret the inconvenience that this may cause and recommend that any customers unable to find suitable seats contact the Box Office to fulfil their booking.

There are several possible reasons that you may not have received an email.

Please check you spam or junk mail folder in the first instance, as your tickets may be in there. If your tickets are in your spam or junk mail folder, you can save the Curve email address to your Safe Sender List. This will then stop future emails going to your spam or junk mail.

Occasionally there can be a delay in receiving emails; we recommend that you wait 24 hours before contacting the Box Office.

If you have not received an email confirmation within 24 hours or there is no pdf file attached, please contact the Box Office. We recommend that you have access to your emails during the call as we may ask you to check that the email has been received.

You do not necessarily need to print your Print At Home tickets, however, you can print them if you would like to.

If you do not print them, you can show them as an e-ticket to gain access to the auditorium. To do this, please make sure you have access to the PDF attachment that should be attached to your booking confirmation email.

If you haven’t received your tickets after 7 working days of ordering them, please contact the Box Office. However, please do allow a few extra days if there has just been a Bank Holiday.

When contacting the Box Office, please have your order reference number or the name and details that the tickets were booked under to hand.

This is to ensure we have a headset ready for you at the Box Office on arrival, and that you are seated in a suitable position in the auditorium.

Curve Café sells a selection of cold food and snacks, which we do permit into the auditoria for most productions. Drinks must be in a plastic glass or bottle, and hot drinks must have a lid on. Where there are restrictions for a particular show, customers will be notified by signage on the doors to your seats. Unfortunately, hot food is not permitted at any time to ensure that you do not disturb the performers or other customers.

We do not offer a cloakroom facility. We politely ask that you keep bags to a minimum and only bring essentials items with you during your visit.

While we do not want you to miss any of the performance there maybe restrictions on when or if you can enter a performance once the lights have gone down. Allowing customers to enter during the performance is not only disruptive for the performers as the light and sound of the foyer areas spills into the space, but finding and accessing your seat can be very disruptive for other customers and potentially hazardous for you.

Where possible, we try to find alternative seating until an interval, or if there is not an appropriate moment, you may need to remain in the foyer and watch a monitor displaying the performance instead.  We recommend arriving at least 20 minutes before the performance start time to ensure you have a comfortable journey through the venue.  Please bear in mind any traffic delays and that if choosing to park at the NCP next door that there may be queues to enter at busy periods.

All customers regardless of age require a ticket to enter the auditoria at any time to ensure that we do not exceed capacity for a performance, so children will not be permitted to sit on your lap. Please speak to the Box Office team to check if £2 infant tickets are available for a performance and to book.

A limited number of booster seats are available from the front of house team should you need them, however, we strongly recommend trying your seat first as the seating at Curve is very well spaced and the rake, particularly in the Studio is deep enough for children to be able to see without restriction.

Pushchairs can be stored in our designated Buggy Parks outside the auditoria during a performance. Please speak to a member of our Visitor Experience Team to find out where the Buggy Park is located for your chosen performance.

Report it to any member of staff and ask for the Duty Manager immediately.

Since we reopened our doors last year we have implemented enhanced cleaning measures at Curve to keep all those within our building safe. Curve is deep cleaned every morning and between each performance and enhanced spot cleaning and sanitisation also take place during the day.

The air handling system at Curve has been optimised to provide cool fresh air throughout all of our performance spaces. All fans are regulated to increase fan speed in proportion to the amount of CO2 in the air which results in cleaner and fresher air being delivered into the auditorium during the show. In the foyer spaces, outside of the auditorium, we have increased the air flow to ensure the building remains well ventilated.

If you are showing symptoms or self-isolating, please let us know at least four hours prior to the show and we will exchange your tickets to another performance date of the production.
