Ambassador Theatre Group Launches Theatre Card Program

The Ambassador Theatre Group's Joint CEO & Creative Director, Howard Panter and Joint CEO, Rosemary Squire, were joined by Richard Fleeshman and Sharon D Clarke (Sam and Oda Mae Brown from Ghost the Musical) at London's Piccadilly Theatre last night (8 November) to officially launch the brand new ATG Theatre Card - the UK's biggest theatre membership scheme.

ATG Theatre Card is the very first UK wide Theatre Card, offering a range of benefits that customers can use in their local theatre, other ATG theatres in major cities (including ATG's West End venues) and tourist areas around the UK.

ATG Theatre Card benefits include priority tickets, ticket offers (including half price on selected shows), no booking or postage fees on most shows, priority brochure mailing, fee free ticket exchange, 10% savings on pre show and interval drinks, free cloakroom and the biggest bonus is that the exclusive card is accepted at 39 venues across the UK and in the West End. Members will also have the chance to attend special events such as launch nights and Q&A's with cast and creative teams.

The ATG Theatre Card costs £30 and allows customers to buy up to 4 tickets per show.

Karen Cody, ATG Theatre Card Manager, said: "It is the perfect membership card to ensure customers get the seats they want, for the performance they want and at the price they want."

Howard Panter, ATG Joint CEO & Creative Director, said: "The unique feature of the ATG Theatre Card is that it gives our loyal customers exclusive access to benefits and special offers across our entire portfolio of UK venues including 12 in the West End."

There is also one website address and one telephone number for all ATG Theatre Card members, www.atgtickets.com/theatrecard and 0844 871 7633.

To celebrate the launch of the ATG Theatre Card, ATG is offering all ATG Theatre Card members a free premium upgrade for Ghost the Musical to the best seats in the house for £65 (a £35 saving) and a complementary CD of the Ghost the Musical original cast recording per booking.

Offer is valid for all performances of Ghost the Musical at the Piccadilly Theatre throughout December. Free CD offer is one per transaction and is subject to availability. For full Terms and Conditions visit www.atgtickets.com/theatrecard
