A Season Ticket is a subscription package that consists of 6 to 11 plays chosen from our main Season. It is more cost effective to purchase a Season Ticket than purchasing single tickets on a casual basis through the year. A Season Ticket gives you access to the best available seats and a range of other exclusive benefits, including pre-sale windows on Special Offers, discounted Extra Single Tickets, free ticket exchanges, no transaction fee and an STC Benefits Card which allows you to access further offers and discounts with our partner organisations. And that’s just a taste. Check out the full suite of benefits.

A Mini Package is a pack of 3, 4 or 5 plays. It is more cost effective than purchasing tickets on a casual basis throughout the year, however a full Season Ticket is still the best value.

- What is the duration of the plays?
The duration of each play is subject to change. We aim to be as precise as possible on the duration of a play in all our materials however due to the nature of the artistic process and live theatre, the duration is often updated once each play goes into rehearsal, and can change during a play's run, particularly with new works and adaptations.
The most up-to-date information is provided in our pre-show emails, on our website and in our theatre foyers. We encourage you to check our website or call Box Office on (02) 9250 1777 before your performance. Opt-in to receive our pre-show emails.
- What is a preview, and how do I know which performances are previews?
Previews are a set of performances before the official opening. The purpose of previews is to allow the director, cast and crew to run the show in front of an audience, to identify problems and opportunities for improvement and to make adjustments to the production so it is the best it can be. Often there will be changes made during previews. Sometimes there may be a stop in the show, but this happens quite rarely. For these reasons, tickets to previews are offered at a reduced price. All Season Ticket preview prices are $45. All Mini Package preview prices are $48.
Preview performance dates are listed on the calendar.
- Is there violence/smoking/nudity/coarse language/heavy subject matter in the plays?
Content warnings on each play are subject to change. We aim to be as clear in our materials as possible as we do not wish to offend personal sensibilities and values. In our annual Season brochure and on this website we include language, violence, nudity, and smoking warnings and an indication of the themes and subject matter of each play. Sometimes this includes warnings about content that could potentially be triggering. Due to the nature of the artistic process and live theatre, content warnings are often updated once each play goes into rehearsal, and can change during a play's run, particularly with new works and adaptations. We post warnings outside the entrance to the auditorium about strobe lighting, smoke machines, very loud noise, gunfire and smoking.
The most up-to-date information is provided in our pre-show emails, on our website and in our theatre foyers. We encourage you to check our website or call Box Office on (02) 9250 1777 before your performance. Opt-in to receive our pre-show emails.
- Who is the primary subscriber and who is a co-subscriber?
The primary subscriber is the person who makes the original payment. For example if Mary and John subscribe together and Mary’s credit card is provided for payment, we are obliged to complete the order with Mary as Primary and John as co-subscriber. Both parties receive the same entitlements and benefits, but only Mary’s account will hold the ability to exchange online.
- How do I exchange my tickets?
If you are the primary subscriber you can exchange online via your My STC account. By email to boxoffice@sydneytheatre.com.au or by calling Box Office (02) 9250 1777. Please include Ticket Numbers in all requests.
If you are a co-subscriber you may still exchange tickets independently providing you have the ticket(s) in your possession. You can do this either in person or by calling STC Box Office from 18 Nov 2019, (02) 9250 1777.
- Why do I have to tell STC who I'm bringing? What if I want to bring different people each time?
If we know who is seeing each play we can ensure your co-subscribers receive their correct entitlements and benefits, and are notified of any performance updates.
If your guest is seeing 6 or more plays they become your co-subscriber and will also be a Season Ticket Holder.
If you have multiple guests attending less than 6 plays with you, they are an additional ticket holder and are not considered a subscribers.
- What if a group of Season Ticket Holders want to pay separately but sit together?
If you wish to do this you will need to complete paper forms, staple them together and mail them in together. Please include clear notes on your seating preferences and staff will do their utmost to meet these requests. This is not possible online or for Mini Packages. If we receive your forms separately we cannot guarantee that we will be able to sit you together.
- What does it mean to opt in to emails?
Signing up to our enews will ensure you receive relevant updates regarding your play choices and any new benefits open to you throughout the season.
You will also receive pre-show emails to remind you of your bookings. This includes tips to plan your visit and articles to enhance your experience of each play.
- What is a Benefits Card?
Season Ticket Holders receive a Benefits Card which entitles you to offers and discounts from a select group of businesses, plus discounted prices when purchasing additional Sydney Theatre Company tickets through the STC Box Office.
Benefits cards will be mailed directly to all Season Ticket Holders and co-subscribers in January 2020.
