About

Everyone should get the chance to experience great art, music and cultural events. Our friends at Aviva are working with us to ensure that everyone in Greater Manchester can afford to come to Aviva Studios.

Our Aviva £10 Tickets are for those on a low income who can’t afford a full-price or concession ticket. Sign up today to access Aviva £10 Tickets for any show produced by Factory International at Aviva Studios. Aviva £10 Tickets are limited and available on a first come, first served basis.

You can sign up online, by phone or in person. Only people who have signed up will be able to access Aviva £10 Tickets.

Who is eligible?

Aviva £10 Tickets are intended for those for whom price is a genuine barrier to attending our shows or events.

You are eligible if you have a low income and can’t afford a full-price or concession ticket due to financial hardship or cost-of-living pressures.

Please do not sign up if your income is above the Greater Manchester average of £33,000 per annum, or if you have enough resources to afford our full-price or concession tickets. In order to keep producing and presenting world-class shows, we are dependent on our box office income, and we try to ensure that even our top-level prices represent excellent value for money.

We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring our Aviva £10 Tickets reach those who need them most.
