BLUE LIGHT TICKETS
Blue Light Tickets has been created as a way to give back to those that have given so much for us. Powered by Blue Light Card, Blue Light Tickets allows venues, sports teams, attractions, festivals and concerts to give free tickets to NHS and/or Emergency Service staff to say thank you. Blue Light Tickets ensures that the tickets are given to genuine employees of the NHS or Emergency Services and ensure that you thank those front line staff that have kept us safe in the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to this other discounted tickets in addition to the balloted free tickets will be available. Importantly, this is a free service for both the member and the organisations providing the free tickets! You don’t need a Blue Light card!

- A WOMAN WALKS INTO A BANK – REVIEW – THEATRE503
