About this Form
Manchester Pride's goal is to be industry-leading and ensure we are inclusive for all people who would like to enjoy our events. Our Low Income Ticket Programme aims to open up the celebrations up to more people. Low income tickets are reserved for participants on a limited income who cannot otherwise afford to attend Manchester Pride.
The Low Income Ticket Programme would offer a 50% reduced ticket price. Low Income Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis and they will be on sale until 30th June 2023 or until they have sold out.
Please feel free to contact the Manchester Pride Events Team at any time from now until the event. There may be a short delay in getting back to you, so we thank you for your patience.

Important: Due to having a limited number of Low Income Tickets available, this programme is restricted to residents of Greater Manchester only, on a basis of 1 ticket per application. Please note that these tickets are limited and completion of this form does not guarantee you have a low income ticket - you may be placed on a wait list.

Supporting Documents
Please upload a scanned copy or a picture from your mobile device of your evidence to this form. We should be able to see at least one recent payment amount you have received, however do feel free to block out any other information.
To be eligible for the Low Income Ticket Programme you must be able to supply one of the following documentation dated within the past 12 months, or with a valid date covering the event. You will also need to provide proof of address:
- Universal Credit

- Job Seekers Allowance (JSA)

We appreciate that some people on a low income may not receive one of the State Benefits listed above, so we suggest that anything below an annual Full-Time salary of £16,000, which approximately equates to the UK Living Wage, could be considered a low income. Please contact us directly to discuss as each case will be looked at on an individual basis.
