All gallery seats are held up by pillars. The shape of the
galleries and auditorium means that some seats are at an
acute angle to the stage. Candelabra above the stage may
move during a performance to create various lighting states.
There is no seat from which the action is not obscured at
some point. All seats are priced accordingly.

DELIVERY CHARGE
SCHOOL/GROUP BOOKINGS
All mailed tickets are subject to a postal charge of £1.50 ( UK ) or
£2.50 (groups and overseas).
Book ten seated tickets and get one additional ticket free.
Tickets must be for the same performance. Please note there
is limited availability for groups in all areas of the theatres. For
groups including students aged under 18 a ratio of one adult per
ten students is required. There are limits to the sizes of groups in
both theatres. Adults must remain with their group throughout the
performance. For more information, please speak to the Box Office.
REFUNDS and exchanges
Shakespeare’s Globe cannot give refunds on any ticket sold.
We can exchange tickets for a later performance of the same
production on the condition that we receive the tickets at least
28 days before the performance. There is an administration fee
of £2.50 per ticket (free for Friends of Shakespeare’s Globe).
TOP UP DONATIONS
We receive no government funding and depend on our audiences to
support our work and ambitions. Whilst booking your tickets please
consider making an additional donation. Adding just a small amount
to your ticket purchase will be of huge benefit to us.
