Fringe Theatre is for you because fringing is for everyone. We’re happy you’re here, fringer. You belong here.

Getting Here

Ticketing

Fring exists because theatre exists and what exists here doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. Are you really fringing if you’re not getting your fill of theatre?

All indoor theatre shows are ticketed. You must purchase a ticket in advance to enter the show. Tickets can be purchased on site at any Box Office or online and scanned at the door of your show.

Have you heard the news?! E-ticketing is finally here, fringers! Snag your tickets online anytime at fringetheatre.ca, grab your smartphone, and head straight to the venue to have your e-ticket scanned. No need to stop by a Box Office before your show (unless you don’t have a smartphone with you or you’re someone who loves collecting ticket stubs, in which case we’ll happily print your ticket at our Box Office in the Fringe Theatre Arts Barns).

The Old Strathcona Neighbourhood
