Possessing Theatre Tokens opens up a whole new world to you. Whether you are new to theatre or are a veteran attendee in West Ends audiences, going to a live show is a thrill like no other.

However, it’s important to know how to exchange your Theatre Tokens for tickets online so that you can plan your trip in advance.

Here we’ll look at how you can be prepared to use your Theatre Tokens online before enjoying the show of your choice.

How do Theatre Tokens work?

Theatre Tokens work in the same way as vouchers for a high street shop or a restaurant chain - you exchange the value loaded onto your card for theatre tickets of the same value.

If you have a physical card and intend on going to the ticket counter in person, you will need to hand the card to a member of staff at the ticket office so they can process your request at the box office.

Online, however, you will need to state the Theatre Token code printed on your card so that its authenticity can be confirmed and you can redeem the value from your ticket purchase.

An e-card that has been gifted to you works in exactly the same principle: the details will need to be exchanged from the voucher for the tickets to be processed. The only difference here is that you won’t receive a physical copy of your voucher, just an email version instead (unless somebody has printed off the emailed token for you).

To avoid fraudsters from using somebody’s personal details to redeem money from their gift card, the details on the card will be required when making the transaction.

Summary
