Ticket holders for productions at Sunderland Empire can now travel to and from the theatre on the Tyne and Wear Metro and the Shields Ferry for free for up to two hours before and after the performance, simply by presenting their show ticket.
Huw Lewis, Corporate Manager for Customer Services and Communications at Nexus, which runs the Metro and Ferry services, said, “we’re delighted to provide this special offer for Empire Theatre ticket holders. Metro takes away all the hassle of driving to a venue so is great way to travel around. We hope this offer encourages more people to use Metro to explore Sunderland city centre and other locations.”
Ben Phillips, General Manager, Sunderland Empire said, “we are delighted to be involved in this free travel initiative with Nexus. With a busy autumn / winter season ahead, we anticipate that a number of customers will take advantage of this great opportunity.”
This is a temporary arrangement and patrons are advised to check on the Nexus web site prior to travel that this free travel scheme is still available.
