THE FINE PRINT
Please Arrive on Time!
If you are picking up your tickets at the venue’s box office on the
night, please ensure you do so 30 minutes before show time. We will
do everything possible to ensure efficiency at the box office but
Festival shows are busy and you may need to queue. If you already
have your tickets please arrive at the venue 15 minutes before
show time. Latecomers will not be admitted and refunds are not
available.
Booking Fees
Booking fees are charged on phone sales at €2 per ticket and
partly help to cover the costs of our temporary box office. Booking
fees can be avoided if tickets are bought online, in person at the
Festival Box Office, or if you are a Friend of the Festival.
No Refund/Exchange
The Festival has a policy of no refund or exchange on all tickets
purchased.
Note
All offers are subject to availability, and all information is correct at the
time of going to print. Management reserves the right to change the
cast or performance in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.
FESTIVAL ACCESS
Special Assistance
If a member of your party is a wheelchair user or needs special assistance in the auditorium please inform Box Office at the point of booking.
Open House
With the support of Ulster Bank, the Festival is delighted to continue this access initiative designed to ensure everybody can enjoy world-class theatre, irrespective of their social or financial circumstances.
Open House offers significantly reduced ticket prices for selected Festival shows, to community groups and organisations including welfare groups, parent support groups, refugee associations, disadvantaged children and their guardians, special needs groups and their carers, and registered charities.
The Festival will extend a number of €10 tickets to Open House participants, on a first-come first-served basis. Application forms are available from openhouse@dublintheatrefestival.com. Open House applications are now closed.
Audio Description
Audio description provides visually impaired and blind audiences with a live commentary of the visual elements of a theatre performance through individual headsets. Advance booking at the Festival Box Office is required. Programme notes will be read 15 minutes prior to start of performance and will be available in audio format through www.adiarts.ie The matinée performance of The Blue Boy at The Lir on Oct 15 will be audio-described.
Captioning
Captioning is similar to television subtitling and gives deaf, deafend and hard of hearing people access to live performance. The actors' words appear on a display unit within view of the stage at the same time as they are spoken. Speaker names, sound effects and offstage noises are also shown. A captioned performance of Itsoseng at axis:Ballymun will take place on Oct 7, at 8pm.
These services are provided by the Festival and axis:Ballymun (for Itsoseng), and facilitated by Arts & Disability Ireland with funding from the Arts Council.
