Cheaper tickets for young people

Tickets for shows in next year's season at the Peninsula Theatre will be available to young people at a reduced rate.

The tickets will be available until an hour before each show.

"If you are 25 years of age or younger, you may purchase tickets up to one hour prior to showtime for just $25 each," marketing manager Ms Lisa Kelly said.

Theatre programmer Anita Freed said the tickets were designed to appeal to young people and the scheme known as Rush Hour.

Ms Freed said: "We hope that young people will respond favourably to the new ticket price".

"It's a reasonable price to pay for such great shows and for young people, who might decide at the last minute on what entertainment they choose, it offers a great opportunity to come to the theatre.

"Patrons should either take their chances on the night (or day), or phone ahead to check if there are any Rush Hour seats available".
