FAQs

What happens if I lose my tickets?

If you have lost your tickets, please visit the Box Office on the day of the performance and we will reprint them for you. Please bring proof of your ID. Please note, we do not send out duplicate tickets by post.

Do you have lap seats?

The Marlowe offers a limited amount of free lap tickets for children under the age of 18 months. When these tickets have sold out the customer will have to pay the price of the lowest priced ticket to admit a child under 18 months.

What is a chilled performance?

Chilled performances provide a more casual theatre-going experience for audiences who are watching the show. It is okay to walk in and out of the auditorium and rules on noise are more relaxed.

You can find more answers to some of our most commonly asked questions on the FAQ page of our website.
