Soho Theatre Joins Forces with DynamO Pricing

May 21, 2024

We are pleased to announce our new partnership with Soho Theatre, marking a milestone in our efforts to help the performing arts sector engage fill more seats and drive-up ticket revenue. This collaboration with one of London's key cultural venues is a significant development in our mission to revolutionize pricing strategies in the performing arts.

Dynamic Growth - Soho Theatre's Strategic Expansion into Walthamstow

Located in the heart of London’s West End, Soho Theatre stands out as a premier venue showcasing a diverse range of theatre, comedy, and cabaret. Since its establishment in the early 1970s from a former synagogue, the theatre has grown into a cultural powerhouse with three performance spaces, attracting over 180,000 audience members each year. Originating from the ground-breaking Soho Poly Theatre, it remains at the forefront of promoting varied and provocative works. This year, they are set to expand their reach with the opening of a new 1000-seat venue in Walthamstow, broadening their capacity to host larger audiences and more ambitious projects.

Advanced Pricing Strategies at Soho Theatre

We’ve integrated DynamO’s dynamic pricing engine with the Spektrix CRM and ticketing system, which will now allow all Spektrix clients to activate our dynamic pricing solutions effortlessly.

In this initial phase, we've launched our service across more than 100 performances at Soho Theatre. We’ve worked closely with the team at Soho Theatre to review their current processes and refine their pricing strategy. Having fully understood their needs and ambitions, our pricing expert, Dr. Pal Danyi, we’ve supported them to make adjustments tailored to meet their unique needs and optimize outcomes.

Risk-Free Innovation: How Soho Theatre Implemented DynamO’s Pricing Solution

Mariko Primarolo, Head of Sales and Ticketing at Soho Theatre, commented on the partnership:

“It has been good working with DynamO Pricing and we have found the team responsive and supportive throughout the onboarding and development process. Dynamo have consistently gone the extra mile to problem solve quickly and efficiently. We are currently piloting the programme, having been interested in the dynamic approach to differing dynamic pricing strategies. The business model, with no upfront fee, was also a draw allowing us to pilot the programme to see if it works with Soho Theatre’s unique programming style.”
"Soho Theatre has been manually adjusting their ticket prices for years. Automating this process significantly enhances their operations, given their deep understanding of show attendance and revenue expectations. Their audience is already accustomed to variable pricing, so this transition will feel seamless and natural"

remarks Dr. Pal Danyi, CINO of DynamO Pricing.

Bence Marosi CEO of DynamO Pricing highlights the company's deep connection to the performing arts, embracing bothits for-profit and non-profit dimensions.

"Originating in Hungary, DynamO understands the importance of maintaining excellent audience experiences in the arts sector while smoothly transitioning venues and organizers to evolved pricing strategies"

he states.

We look forward to expanding our dynamic pricing services throughout Soho Theatre’s programming. We believe this partnership will positively impact audience engagement and revenue, as it has with our clients in other countries. This collaboration underscores DynamO's dedication to equipping arts organizations with the necessary resources to thrive in a challenging environment.

Understanding demand with TRG Arts
August 26, 2025

DynamO is proud to partner with  TRG Arts to help cultural organisations build stronger, more sustainable futures. While DynamO provides the tools for agile, real-time pricing decisions, TRG Arts brings decades of expertise in strategy and demand management. Together, we combine long-term structure with day-to-day responsiveness, ensuring every performance works harder for both mission and revenue.

In this post, Peter Ling - Communications Executive at TRG Arts - shares practical insights into how demand management works, and how it can transform audience behaviour, ticket yield and organisational resilience.

Understanding demand

At, we believe that an organisation’s mission and revenue are inseparable: growing one strengthens the other. To achieve that, you need more than hope that audiences will turn up. You need to actively manage and build demand.

That means using data to decide in advance how many seats to make available at each price, when to release them, and how to signal value so people feel urgency to book early. It’s about managing perception as much as product, and every campaign is a catalyst for behaviour change; when audiences believe something is in demand, they behave differently. By effectively managing this demand, our clients strengthen their earned income and attendance.

What is demand?

In TRG Arts’ work, demand is the level of audience interest in a specific performance, series, or event; and the opportunity to shape that interest. Through data, it’s seen in how quickly tickets sell, which seats go first, and how much audiences are willing to pay. But demand isn’t fixed. With the right strategy, you can influence when people buy, how much they spend, and how full it feels when sat in their seats.

Why is demand important?

Demand sits at the heart of your organisation’s success. High demand can optimise ticket yield (your average ticket price) and help you make the most of limited seating capacity. Managing demand effectively allows you to:

  • Grow revenue without increasing costs by maximising high-demand opportunities.
  • Protect accessibility by ensuring there are price points for a wide range of audiences.
  • Build momentum and urgency that encourages earlier booking and repeat attendance.

When your mission and revenue work together, every ticket sale fuels both your artistic and community goals.

How does ‘demand management’ work?
Demand management is the process of strategically shaping audience behaviour before and during a sales cycle.

At TRG Arts, this means using data for:

  • Setting your seat mix intentionally: deciding in advance how many seats to sell at each price; all based on historical sales.
  • Holding and releasing inventory strategically to create urgency and control scarcity and the ‘perception of success’.
  • Signalling value early so audiences act quickly.
  • Increasing ticket yield / average ticket prices as demand grows, while protecting accessible entry points throughout a sales cycle.

Done well, demand management gives you a strong foundation. DynamO adds valuable real-time responsiveness through its tools, allowing you to fine-tune prices as audience behaviour unfolds; combining long-term planning with in-the-moment action.
