New Box Office system installed

This Sunday (22nd March 2009) a new box office will be installed, replacing the venue's first computerised system which has been selling tickets here since 2004. We expect Internet booking to be offline for up to 7 days, while the system is being changed over. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and ask you to book by phone or in person during this time.

There are two main advantages of the new system: Firstly, when you book tickets on the Internet, you will be able to see which seats are available, and can choose the seats you want. Secondly, the ongong running costs and charges are much lower than our current system. These savings will mean that we can avoid increasing prices. We will also continue to offer Internet, telephone, postal and in-person bookings without charging any booking fees.

The Board is investing in the new system (including all hardware and software costs) and the savings will pay for this in 2-3 years. During the last 12 months we have sold over 90,000 tickets to events at the Regent - an increase of 21% over the previous 12 months. We hope our new box office will enable us to continue the trend!
