to buy tickets in person

  • From June 19 - 21, tickets, Frequent Fringer Vouchers and badges can be bought, with card, cash or cheque, from the Fringe Central Box-Office in the Queen's Theatre foyer from 12 noon to 4pm. Fringe Theatre Box-Office is separate from the Queen's Theatre's own regular Box Office which won't be selling Fringe tickets or badges.
  • From the 22nd of June, you can continue to buy badges, Frequent Fringer Vouchers and tickets for any show with card, cash or cheque, from Fringe Central Box-Office which will be open from 11am to 8pm on the Thursday & Friday (22nd & 23rd) and 10am - 6pm on the Saturday & Sunday (24th & 25th).

The Venue Box-Offices will sell tickets - card transactions only - for the next performance in their venue from half an hour before the start time of that performance. They will also sell Frequent Fringer Vouchers and badges (again, card only). You won't be charged a handling fee for these transactions.
  • Please note: you can't buy tickets for Pay-What-You-Will performances nor can places be reserved. Best to get there early if you can!.

Fringe Badges

  • Every audience member aged 13+ will need a Fringe Badge to enter a ticketed venue.
  • Fringe Badges will be available during Fringe week at Fringe Central Box-Office in the Queen's Theatre foyer, at all six Venue Box-offices and at certain alternative space venues for just £2. See the 'to buy tickets in person' section above for information on exactly when Fringe box-offices will be open. Please note that the Queen's Theatre's own regular Box Office won't be selling Fringe tickets or badges.
  • This one-off payment of just £2 is the only charge that Fringe TheatreFest asks from audience members that goes towards the running of the festival. The bulk of those costs are covered by sponsorship and grants. All money raised by tickets sales and Pay-What-You-Will collections goes to the performers.
  • Thank you for your support

Pay-What-You-Will performances

  • Performances in alt spaces are "Pay-What-You-Will".
  • No money changes hands until after the performance when you will be invited to contribute to a collection.
  • There will be easily identifiable collecting buckets in the hands of a steward.
  • We ask you to be guided by the price structure for regular venues - but not to feel embarrassed if you wish to contribute more!
  • Performers are not paid a fee - only whatever their audience is willing to give.
  • In all cases, 100% of the money collected - whether from tickets or pay-what-you-will - goes to the performers.
