Are we allowed to talk about pricing yet? We know it’s a touchy subject, but we think it’s time we tackled it head on. We’ll be talking through our latest research, with opportunities for questions and discussion throughout, fuelled by tea, coffee and treats of course.

This is the first time we’ve had access to this kind of research on pricing, that’s been conducted with a wide range of organisations across all art forms, and includes both free and paid events. We’ll be discussing what we’ve learned about current approaches to pricing strategies, refunds, concessions and more. With these new insights in mind, we’ll be asking whether now is the time for the sector to rethink pricing.

We want this discussion to include all kinds of organisations from all across the sector – ticketed/non-ticketed organisations, any and all artforms, production companies and venues.​

Join us in Belfast Exposed, Belfast on Thursday, 11th September to be part of this vital discussion. We’ll provide lunch, teas and coffees.

This event is free but please register here.
