BRAVO!
FREE METRO TRAVEL ANNOUNCED
FOR
SUNDERLAND EMPIRE CUSTOMERS
Sunderland Empire and Nexus, the
public body which owns and manages the Tyne and
Wear Metro, are pleased to announce a new partnership to offer free Metro
travel to theatregoers.
Theatre ticket holders coming to see
one of the show stopping productions at Sunderland Empire can now travel on the
Metro and the Shields Ferry for free for up to two hours before and after the
performance by simply presenting their show ticket*.
The announcement comes as a busy
Autumn/Winter season is currently taking Wearside by storm including one night
spectaculars, opulent opera through to the arrival of the monster hit Shrek the
Musical ‘taking ogre’ the stage 11-22 November and the magical family pantomime
extravaganza Aladdin flying in 11 December – 3 January.
Huw Lewis, Corporate Manager for Customer Services and Communications at Nexus, 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 to add value to our customer’s theatre experience. With a busy
Autumn/Winter season ahead we anticipate that a number of customers will take
advantage of this great opportunity.”
Sunderland Empire is just a short walk from Park Lane Metro and
bus interchange and Sunderland Metro station.
*This is a temporary
arrangement and patrons are advised to check Nexus website prior to travel that this free travel
scheme is still available
