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 $5 and is a one-time purchase. You can also purchase a legacy pin for $15 that you can use year over year! Since 100% of ticket revenue goes 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.
