Good times ahead

In the mood for a concert or gig? Ready to join a class? Livestream from your sofa? Whatever you’re looking for, grab your spot in whichever way is easiest for you.

Go online

You can book tickets for all our classes and performances (both in-person and online) here on our website. If it’s your first time, we’ll get you to create an account – that way you can keep and manage all your bookings, details, and preferences in one place.

Give us a call

Our Box Office team are around to help from 12-8pm, Wednesday-Saturday and 12-5pm on Sundays. You can reach us on 0191 443 4661.

You can also email us on [email protected].

Stop by our Box Office

You can find our Box Office team over by the West entrance (the side of the venue closest to the Tyne Bridge) and we’re around from 12pm every day the building’s open. (Check our opening times if you want to know when that will be.)

We don’t do smoke signals or carrier pigeons, but if all else fails you can always write to us at: Box Office, The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, St. Mary’s Square, Gateshead Quays, NE8 2JR.

How our tickets work

When you book, whether it’s for a gig, a concert or a class, your E-Ticket(s) will be emailed to you pretty much straight away. You can then keep the email safe ready for your visit, or (if it’s within 90 days of the performance) you can add to your digital wallet. Of course, if you would prefer to print at home, you still can.

Just make sure you keep your ticket on you in the venue so you can come and go without any hassle. And if you’ve got a concession ticket make sure you’ve got ID to hand.

The small print

When you buy a ticket there’s lots of important legal stuff that we’re both agreeing to – like how your ticket can be used, things you can and can’t do while you’re with us, what everyone’s rights are, etc. If you want the full run down, you can read our Terms and Conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve booked for a group – can I forward people’s e-tickets to them so they can show their own on the day?

Show More

If you’ve booked more than one ticket, they’ll all come in a single email, so you can forward the email on, but everyone will just need to know which ticket is theirs. Just so you know, each ticket contains a barcode that can only be scanned once – so when it’s been used to let one person in, it can’t be used again.

Another option is to plan to meet up before you go in, so you can show everyone’s tickets together. (And grab a drink too).

I’m all booked, but I haven’t had an e-ticket – how do I sort that?

Show More

Tickets sometimes end up in your junk or spam folders (the e-ticket will be from [email protected]). If you can’t find it, don’t worry. Log in to your account and you’ll be able to view your e-ticket(s) from there. Any issues after that, give the Box Office a call on 0191 443 4661.

Oops, I’ve deleted/lost my e-ticket email – now what?

Show More

Log in to your account and you’ll be able to view your ticket(s) from there. If you can’t, give our Box Office team a call on 0191 443 4661.

I’d really like a printed ticket – can I get one?

Show More

We use e-tickets because they’re quicker, easier, and better for the planet. But if you don’t have a smartphone or a printer at home, then of course we’ll get you sorted with a paper ticket.

Just give our ticket team a call on 0191 443 4661 and we’ll print it for you. Then you can either pick it up at the Box Office when you get here (no charge), or we’ll post it out to you (at a cost of £1.50 to cover postage and packing).

Enjoy live music your way

Need a hearing loop? Help with a wheelchair? Space for your support dog? Join our Access Scheme and let us know what you need to make your visit safe, simple, and fun – that way we can keep your info on file and easily sort things for you whenever you come.

You’ll also be able to get a free ticket for a carer or personal assistant when you book any of our gigs or concerts.
