Did you know that when you buy a
ticket, very little of the ticket price is
kept by South Mill Arts?
As standard, touring companies and productions take
between 70-80% of all Box Office takings.
We pay VAT, credit card and
Performing Rights Society charges.
Costs such as utilities, insurance, wages and
maintenance all add up! After the Town Council grant we
still need over £2,500 a day to keep us up and running.
So, from a £20 ticket, South Mill Arts keeps between
£4-£6 of the ticket price... and as we are not-for-profit,
every penny goes straight back in!
That is why your support is so important to us!
