TICKETS
The Adelaide Fringe has continued to make improvements to their online ticketing platform, making it easier to buy tickets, including the new Fringe Planner which makes it easier than ever for audiences to build their Fringe experience. You can map out your wish list, check for clashes, maximise your time and book tickets to shows.
They are proud to employ all their ticketing team here in South Australia and they work hard to get as many audience members as possible seeing shows in the Fringe – ultimately the ticket sales are how the artists and venues earn their money, so they encourage everyone to book early.
