Pay What You Can!
All tickets to all Hub performances are Pay What You Can. While most theatre companies offer at least one PWYC performance, we've decided to adopt it full-time: every seat, every show, every time.
A key focus of our mission is to remove barriers between art and audience, and the economic barrier is arguably one of the largest. Of all the reasons not to go to a play, we want to make sure ticket price isn't the reason.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does "Pay What You Can" Mean?
Just what it says. We don't decide what our tickets cost; you do. You give us the amount of money you think is fair (either to you or to us), and we let you in. Simple, right?
What Should I Pay?
Well, whatever you can. But if you need guidelines, here's what we ask you to ask yourself:
- "What Am I Accustomed To Pay?"
- "What Am I Willing To Pay?"
- "What Am I Able To Pay?"
- Please Bear In Mind...
How Do I Order Tickets?
The Hub has partnered with TicketLeap to offer online ticket sales that allow the buyer to set the price of the tickets when ordering. Remaining tickets are available at the door; we accept cash, check and Venmo. Seating is general admission, but we will happily accommodate special requests (wheelchair access, etc) with sufficient notice.
Why Do You Do This?
For a start, adopting all-PWYC ticketing allows us to streamline our box office operation, making it easier for us and for you: no student or senior discounts, no 'special friends' or 'starving artist' discounts, no demand-based or dynamic pricing, no rush tickets, no internet discount codes, no secret passwords to give at the box office, no Goldstar or Bostix memberships, no subscriber discounts, nothing. You just give us what you're accustomed, willing, or able to pay.
But the main reason is simple-we believe that the arts are for everyone and that there should be no economic barriers between audience and art.
