Give the gift of theatre

If you have questions about the Free £25 Theatre Voucher that's part of the Love Your Local Theatre campaign, please click here.

Theatre Tokens are gift vouchers which are exchangeable for tickets at over 300 theatres across the UK, including London's West End. See a full list of participating theatres.

Theatre Tokens are available to buy as Gift Cards or eGifts, available in any amount from £5. Pre-2017, Theatre Tokens were paper vouchers available in denominations of £5, £10 and £20. As Theatre Tokens have no expiry date, all variations of the Tokens are still redeemable, but some older versions of the voucher may need to be replaced for security reasons - see our information on ‘legacy vouchers’.

You can also use Theatre Tokens to buy tickets online at OfficialLondonTheatre.com. This means they can be used in both The Official London Theatre Sale and for Kids Week. New Year Sale is an annual sale that encourages people to 'Get Into London Theatre' with tickets to big West End shows starting from as little as £10 for the first six weeks of the year. Kids Week is a way of encouraging families to get into the habit of going to the theatre. For the whole of August, a child who’s aged 16 or under can go to any London participating show for FREE as long as they’re accompanied by a full paying adult. Adults can also buy up to two extra children’s tickets at half price and there are no booking fees. Plus, there’s free activities on selected dates and Kids Eat Free deals available.

You can buy Gift Cards and eGifts online here, and Gift Cards over the phone on our Tokenline 020 3011 0755 (please note: This line is currently closed and we currently do not know when it will be open again) or in person from participating theatres or high street retailers including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose, John Lewis, WHSmith and Waterstones:

Theatre Tokens DO NOT have an expiry date.

All variations of the Tokens are therefore still redeemable, but some older versions of the voucher may need to be replaced for security reasons. See our information on ‘legacy vouchers’.

You will need your PIN to redeem and/or register your Theatre Token.

Your PIN is a four digit number that is usually found on the reverse of the Theatre Token behind a scratch-off panel.

On some designs, the scratch-off panel and PIN is found on the front of the voucher.

If the number underneath the scratch-off panel is longer than four numbers, please only use the final four digits (ignoring any dashes) as your PIN. Please ignore the "Void if Removed" warning, this no longer is true and removing the scratch-off panel will not void your Theatre Token.

If you have no scratch-off panel or PIN, you may need to upgrade your voucher. You can do this by sending a photo or scan of your Token number(s) to enquiries@theatretokens.com

No. If the tickets cost less than your Theatre Tokens Gift Card or eGift the remaining balance will be available to use next time. If you are redeeming a paper Theatre Token and require change you will be given a Gift Card with your change value. If the tickets cost more than your Theatre Tokens, you can make the additional payment with the accepted payment method of your chosen theatre.
