Subscriptions

  • A subscription is a pre-purchased package of 4 to 7 plays from our main 2024 Season. It’s the cheapest way of purchasing tickets, you get priority access to the best seats in the house, plus you also get added benefits.

     

  • Subscription tickets are delivered as physical tickets via standard mail, by default. If you book online, you’ll also receive an email confirmation receipt with a detailed description of your order.

    If you have any questions or concerns about your tickets, please contact us at subscriptions@statetheatrecompany.com.au or call 08 8415 5353 (Monday to Friday, 10am – 4pm).

  • Value for money! You’ll save up to 20% on single tickets when you package 3 or more plays from our main season.

    We only charge one transaction fee of $9.25 per subscriber, rather than a fee per ticket. Subscribers also receive one free exchange for each show in a subscription package, in case your plans change!

    Subscribers receive priority access to the best seats in the house, with seats in every performance reserved for subscription bookings.

    Subscribers also access discounts for our Add-on show and Stateside program.

  • To make your subscription booking process as simple as possible, our system automatically assigns you the best available seats for each show in your subscription. If you purchase multiple seats, you will automatically be assigned seats next to each other.

    You will see your assigned seat numbers at the end of the booking path. However, should you have any special requests, you can add them in the seating request notes (click here for instructions on how to find the seating request section on your booking form) or email us at subscriptions@statetheatrecompany.com.au with your booking number and seating request information.
