Friends FAQs

To become a Friend, you can sign up on our website, visit us at the Black Swan Ticketing Office, or call our Ticketing Team. Friends Membership costs just $50 which will give you 12 months of benefits from the date of purchase.

You can become a Subscriber by purchasing a multi-play package and then simply choose the productions you want to see. To receive your discounts, all your tickets must be purchased in the same transaction.

Being a Friend and being a Subscriber are two different things.

A Subscriber is anyone who purchases a multi-play package, which allows you to receive a discount of 10% off tickets. You do not receive any additional benefits as a Subscriber and tickets must be purchased in the same transaction.

As a Friend, you will enjoy a host of benefits, including priority booking, free exchanges, and most importantly, ticket discounts of 20% off multi-play packages and 10% off all single ticket purchases.

As a Friend, you will also receive invitations to exclusive events, behind-the-scenes information, and a Friends Card that will be enable you to benefit from amazing discounts and special offers from our partners.

Once you have become a Friend, all you have to do is log into your account on the Black Swan website and the Friends discount will automatically be applied to your purchase. If you have already selected your tickets, then the discount will be applied as soon as you enter your account details during checkout.

Discounts apply only to Adult, Concession and Student ticket prices.

Your Friends benefits begin immediately upon purchase and last for 12 months. This includes any discounts, priority booking and access to exclusive events and offers. You will be sent a renewal reminder when you are reaching the end of the 12 months.

Your Friends card will usually be posted out to you within 2 weeks of signing up – but you will receive an email confirming that you can access all the benefits immediately. In busy times, such as Season Launch, your Friends card may take a little longer to arrive with your tickets, if you have purchased a subscription.

It’s all about who you know, and lucky for you, we know a lot of people.

Head to the Become a Friend page to see the full list!

Our Subscribers scheme will remain, with discounts applied depending on the number of plays purchased in a multi-play package. Subscribers will receive 10% off multi-play packages of 3-4 plays, and 15% off multi-play packages of 5-6 plays.
