FAQs 

How does On Demand work?
The on demand ticket is a recording of the live performance and is available to book from 27 September – 10 October. You can book up to midnight 10 October and still watch the show for 14 days from when you click on your link. Your ticket link must be activated by 10 October to allow you to watch it after this date. For example, if you buy your ticket on 10 October and click on the link that day, you still have 14 days to watch the show. If you book on 8 October, you have 14 days to watch from that date.
