Try it for a Tenner

We understand that budgets are tight, so we've made it easier for students and Young Scots to discover a huge world of entertainment without a huge cost. At all three Capital Theatres venues, you can buy £10 standby tickets for most of our shows on the day of the performance. Just turn up at the box office in person on the day from 12pm with valid ID. For further details on availability of £10 standby tickets, check the discounts section on each individual show page. 

Please note: £10 standby tickets are not available for all shows and are subject to availability. Valid Student or Young Scot ID required. Ask at Box Office for details or call 0131 529 6000.

Festival Theatre Cafe

At the Festival Theatre Café, we offer free WiFi for all, plus a 20% discount for students during the day (up to 5pm). Whether you are looking for a healthy lunch or a guilty pleasure; a quick fizzy drink or a long relaxing cuppa; a place to enjoy the sunshine or watch the rain fall, the Festival Theatre Café is the place to be.
