Pay What You Can Tickets Information
We want everyone to be able to experience the magic of theatre at Grand Junction. We don’t want the price of a ticket to be a barrier.
That is why we have introduced a Pay What You Can scheme on all of our family theatre shows. When booking a ticket you’ll be given a choice of four different ticket options:
- £5 Pay What You Can (recommended) – This is our recommended price for a ticket and is necessary to cover the costs of the theatre show. If you can pay this rate, please choose this option.
- £2 Pay What You Can – If this ticket suits you better please take advantage of this price and let us welcome you with open arms, no questions asked.
- £7 Pay More If You Can – Please consider booking this ticket for an additional £2 from the recommended rate if you are able to do so. Grand Junction is a charitable organisation and by paying more you will help us to keep ticket prices low for everyone, as well as support the future of family theatre at our venue.
- Family of 4 Ticket Deal – This is a special Pay What You Can family ticket deal to help stop costs from adding up. There is a family ticket available for the three price points mentioned above.
All you have to do is select the price bracket that best suits your current budget and continue to checkout.
All tickets look the same, no one will know what you have paid when you arrive at the venue. If you are still hesitant to buy a ticket because of cost and feel you need to pay under the lowest price offer, we would be happy to help so please contact us at tickets@grandjunction.org.uk or give us a call at 020 7266 8258.

What is Pay What You Can?
We’d like everyone who wants to experience a show at Grand Junction to be able to. To help with this, we have introduced a flexible Pay What You Can pricing model across our family theatre programme in 2023.
How does it work?
When you book to see one of our shows you will be asked to choose from one of three ticket options (see the ticket price information tab above for more details). You will get the same ticket regardless of which option you choose. We recommend that you book the standard ticket, but if you can’t book this price please take advantage of our lower price. No need to show anything on the door, just choose the price that suits your budget at the time of booking.
As Grand Junction is a charitable organisation we need your support. If you can pay an additional £2 from the recommended price please consider supporting our ticketing scheme and the future of family theatre at our venue by purchasing the £7 Ticket (Pay What You Can).
If you have any ticketing enquiries or concerns about the price of tickets and feel you need to pay less than our £2 ticket, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Send us an email at info@grandjunction.org.uk or give us a call at 020 7266 8258.
Does it matter what price I pay?
In order for us to continue programming family theatre we need enough people to pay for the standard ticket. However, we believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the delight of theatre without the ticket price being a barrier, which is why we offer those who can’t pay the standard price a lower rate – this is subsidised by the higher priced tickets.
On the day of the show, we won’t know what price you paid. There are also other ways you can support our programme which can be just as valuable as buying a ticket, such as recommending our venue and our programme to your friends and family, as well as visiting us – we have lots of other wonderful activities (for children & adults) that you can get involved with!
Will the price I choose affect my view?
No! The Pay What You Can scheme has been set up to prevent the price of a ticket from being a barrier to watching a show at Grand Junction. Seating is allocated on a first come first serve basis, but we make sure everyone who watches the show has a good view.
I want to buy more than one ticket type
Not a problem! Any combination of ticket types is possible.
Due to our current ticketing system, if you want to book two different types of tickets you will need to add them to your basket separately. You will be able to pay for all tickets in one transaction at checkout.
Who is a family ticket for?
A family ticket permits entry for either two adults and two children, or one adult and three children. For a family of more than 4 please purchase an additional ticket(s).
You have three different Family of 4 options to choose from with our Pay What You Can ticket scheme:
- Pay What You Can (Recommended): £16 for a family of 4
- Pay What You Can: £7 for a family of 4
- Pay More If You Can: £22 for a family of 4
My child is under 12 months, do I need to buy them a ticket?
Children 12 months and under are free and do not need to purchase a ticket. Children over 12 months require a paid ticket to watch the show.
Are an adult and child ticket the same price?
Yes, adults and children pay the same for their tickets. Our Pay What You Can pricing model ensures seeing a show at Grand Junction is accessible for all, therefore we will not be offering other concession tickets.
