Autumn term is here, and for the teachers across the country that means the longest, most demanding stretch of the school year is just getting started. Between lesson planning, marking, and full classrooms, evenings and weekends can start to feel like an extension of the school day. It’s important to protect the downtime that you can to avoid burnout and excessive stress.
Going to events can be a great way to unwind, but often it can be hard to make room in one’s budget for extra treats. However, there are some great teachers discount options on live events, which can be a great way to have fun without spending too much.
There's a myth that teacher discount codes just mean 10% off a lanyard or a meal deal. The best teacher discounts go further than that, funding an actual night out, not another item off a shopping list. Saving money while also protecting your time will be what makes this term feel survivable.
Tickets for Teachers is a dedicated platform powered by Tickets for Good, built to give UK education staff free* and discounted access to live events. The events cover everything from music, theatre, comedy, sport and even festivals. The idea is simple: because you teachers give such a huge amount to your communities, you deserve something little back.
Whether you work as a teaching assistant, as supply staff, in school administrative teams, in state schools or academies, early years settings or higher education, you will be able to sign up. In short, if you work in education in some capacity, you will most likely be eligible.
Tickets for Teachers UK runs in partnership with NASUWT, one of the UK's largest teaching unions. Teachers can verify their account using work emails, staff ID badges, payslips, or union membership numbers.
Once you're verified, you can browse our massive range of events. Here's where to start.
Tickets For Teachers is the UK’s answer to discount Broadway tickets for teachers. West End productions, touring musicals, and local playhouse shows, book them all at a fraction of the usual price. It's an easy way to swap the staffroom for the stalls.
We work with lots of different music venues and promoters to bring you free* and discounted concert tickets, from small indie gigs to major arena tours. Whatever gets you out of school mode and into a crowd, there's likely a ticket for it.
Comedy nights and Sunday matinees are especially popular with teachers, since they fit neatly around an early Monday start. A laugh and an early night beats a late one any week of term, and can be a great low-stress way to unwind.
