THE Revel Puck Circus
£2 Ticket Policy
We are committed to offering 10% of our tickets at £2, to reduce the financial barrier to great arts & culture.
We are The Revel Puck Circus, a not-for-profit contemporary circus company based in Newham, East London. We tour in Big Tops so we can land right in the heart of communities, and we want as many people as possible to feel welcome under the tent.

WHO ARE £2 TICKET FOR?
Our £2 tickets are for low-income families and anyone who would benefit from a lower-cost option.
We run a no-questions-asked policy. We will never ask for formal proof. We trust our audiences to choose the ticket type that feels most appropriate for them.
WHY WE DO THIS
We know the biggest barriers to accessing the arts are often geographical and financial. Touring in temporary structures helps us tackle the geography. The £2 ticket policy helps us tackle the cost.
We want the tent to feel like a true cross-section of the community wherever we land, including people who might not usually have regular access to theatre or live performance.
WHY TICKETS COST WHAT THEY COST
Putting on a Big Top show takes a touring team of around 20 people, plus additional external support and temporary staff for the build and break. Our team includes artists, producers, technicians, cooks, crew members and drivers, all working hard to create the best possible experience.
It is expensive keeping a circus on the road. We apply for grant funding and we are incredibly grateful for the support we receive from funders and touring partners. This year, external support makes up approximately 20% of our turnover, which means around 80% has to come from ticket sales, bar and concessions, and merchandise.
Because of this, our highest ticket now sits at £31. We work hard to keep prices as low as possible. For context, the average UK theatre ticket in 2023 was £35.20 plus booking fee (The Stage UK Ticketing Survey): https://www.thestage.co.uk/features/the-stage-uk-ticketing-survey--data-in-full
COMMUNITY DISTRIBUTION
We work with local organisations and community groups to distribute £2 tickets directly to people who will benefit from them.
