Are you sitting comfortably? - You are now!

Since 1 February 2011 you, our customers, have been paying a Seating Improvement Contribution* of 50p per ticket to help pay for brand new seats in our Upper Circle.  And we'd like to say a big THANK YOU! 

The new seats are now in place - though we will continue to collect the Seating Improvement Contributions until we have raised the remaining funds needed. 

So far you have helped raise**: £182,025.

Thank you for your help in improving your theatre.

If you would like to make an additional contribution to the fundraising, please send a cheque payable to Cardiff Council to:

The New Theatre recognises generous contributions from Admiral Insurance and the Landfill Communities Fund.

Sponsor a new seat:

Would you like your name, that of a loved one or simply a message of your choice on a plaque attached to one of our new Upper Circle seats?  It would be the perfect way to remember someone who once came here or a lovely birthday gift for a fan of the arts.

We are now taking orders for sponsorship of our new Upper Circle seats.  It will cost just £150 per seat for 5 years.  To book yours just call 029 2087 8889 to make your purchase and we will write to you with details of how to get your message to us. 

Please note that we will accept requests for specific seat numbers, but cannot guarantee that your first choice will be available.  When asking for your preferred message, we will ask for a selection of seat numbers you consider special.  If you have no preference we are happy to allocate a seat number for you.

Important - Sponsorship of a seat does not confer any claim over its ownership nor any rights to book it ahead of other customers.  The New Theatre reserves the right to decline any message considered inappropriate.

All money raised from the sales of the old seats and sponsorship of the new ones will be used to fund this seating improvement project.

If you require more information about seat sponsorship or purchase, please email us: ntmailings@cardiff.gov.uk


* The seating improvement contribution is not added to tickets issued without charge (e.g. free seats for PAs / carers) nor to tickets bought by school parties.
