Restoration Levy at Theatre

My son booked up 6 tickets at their box office for a show at Guildford’s Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and was charged an extra £1 for each ticket for a restoration levy.
The item below was in their entertainment programme right at the back of the book
Restoration Levy
A Restoration Levy of £1 will be added to the price of each ticket that we sell. The money will go directly to the on-going programme of essential maintenance at Guildford’s Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. The Levy applies to all full-price tickets, concession tickets and online ticket sales for every show on the main stage and in the Mill Studio.
Is this legal. Or is it just another way to get money out over the audience

It's legal.
I'd guess it provides tax advantages to the theatre over a straightforward admission price hike of the same amount.0
