Entry Pass – what and why?

Entry Pass exists to encourage the next generation of audience members and future theatre practitioners to get involved in the National Theatre's programme, and to take advantage of all the extra resources that the NT has to offer. As a member, you can buy tickets to shows in the National's three auditoriums for only £5.

How to become a member

Joining the scheme is as easy as filling in the membership form. Forms are available from the foyer at the National, or are downloadable from the log-in page of the Entry Pass website. The forms require the signature of a guarantor (a parent, teacher or employer) to verify the date of birth for each new member – this signature is required even for new members who are over the age of 18.

Entry Pass is generously supported by The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust and The Welton Foundation
