Virtual Box Office

Advance tickets are available online 24/7 or you can call the Box Office during operating hours.

A Fringe Pin is required to enter any show. It’s yours for $3 and is a one-time purchase. You can also purchase a legacy pin for $12 that you can use year over year! Since 100% of ticket sales go directly to the performers, it’s Fringe Pins (and donations) which help the Festival grow. Available online at checkout or at any box office. If you purchase a pin online, you must pick up a physical pin at the box office before your first show.

Please note that there are no refunds, no exchanges, no exceptions.

Tickets for passes can only be redeemed in person and cannot be redeemed online.

The box office will hole punch your pass card to keep track of how many tickets have been redeemed.

If you have purchased your pass between the dates of June 5th to June 14th, on the phone, we will keep your pass a the main box office (Arts Court, floor 3) for you to pick up when you attend the festival under your name.

Lost passes cannot be redeemed, replaced or refunded.
