season tickets
There have been a few questions on ProZ about this term but none which sound particularly authentic.
A theatre sells season tickets divided into 4 "Turni" and then on the website for each performance refers to that turno for season-ticket holders:
lunedi 9 aprile/ ore 20.30 [turno A]
mercoledì 11 aprile/ ore 20.30 [turno D]
giovedì 12 aprile/ ore 20.30 [fuori abbonamento]
venerdì 13 aprile/ ore 20.30 [turno B]
sabato 14 aprile / ore 18.00 [fuori abbonamento]
domenica 15 aprile/ ore 18.00 [turno C]
How would we express these "turni" at a British theatre? Does such a distinction actually exist?

These terms are used often in the U.S.
I'd avoid using "series." It is commonly used in reference to concerts (concert series). Anyhow, you may use other terms, such as "subscription combination," "subscription group," etc.

"Calendario per turni
Turni Ordinari
Cosa sono i Turni Ordinari?
L’abbonamento ai Turni Ordinari consente di assistere a nove (Turno A, B, C, D, F) spettacoli della Stagione nella privilegiata condizione del proprio posto fisso, oltre a una serie di agevolazioni contenute nel Carnet dell’abbonato.
Turno A: abbinato alle prime rappresentazioni
Turni B e D: recite programmate alla sera in giorni infrasettimanali
Turni C e F: la domenica o il sabato pomeriggio."
http://www.teatroregio.torino.it/stagioni/abbonamenti/calend...
Teatro alla Scala calls them series in the EN version of their website
http://www.teatroallascala.org/en/box-office/subscriptions/t...
At the Old Vic, for instance, the only thing close to the above is the concessions section, which of course applies to the single performances, rather than a season ticket.

| Thanks Barbara. Yes, I think series is horrible, like much of the English on the La Scala website! I shall keep looking |

: "Series" seems an obvious choice, and is widely used in a concert context. If you post it, I'll agree with it! .
