Box office & tickets

Setting ticket prices

Artists determine their own ticket prices for their Fringe Festival shows and events, although we cap individual ticket prices to $10. Keep in mind that audiences see multiple performances throughout the fest, so affordability is often a big factor in deciding what to see.  Tickets under $10 tend to perform better, but always consider your personal festival goals and budget when setting your price.

    • Artist's individual ticket cost can not be higher than $10

    • Artists may only offer ONE ticket price option for their event (unless offering Pay What You Can Pricing) + a Student/25-and-under discount.
