Toronto, ON – After much anticipation from our brand release last week, the time has finally arrived: Tickets are on sale! Program Guides have been flying off the shelves as Fringe Folk make their top picks for this day.
As we honour our legacy with the Honest Ed’s Alleyway and the traditions we have built throughout the years, we have also implemented some major changes for #Fringe2016 to continue our movement into the future. This is a year built around box office innovation. We recognize that change is scary, so, we have tried to make our new system easily accessible and convenient for all.

New This Year:
1) Patrons can now bring their printed ticket confirmation to the venue and have it scanned for entry by our Front of House Staff.
2) Patrons can also use the confirmation on their cellular device for scanning upon entry.
3) Our advance ticket sales and at-door-ticket sales now overlap. This means no three hour off-sale period where tickets are unavailable for purchase.
4) Patrons who would like a hard ticket, can use our Fringe Kiosk, conveniently located at our Fringe Club.
PLUS: #Fringe2016 now has a DAILY DISCOUNT BOOTH
In the spirit of Honest Ed our discount booth is for the birds, “It’s Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!” Tickets can be purchased daily for $8 ($6+$2 SERVICE CHARGE).
From June 29-July 10, 2016 (12pm-9pm) the booth will sell discounted tickets of selected performances, playing that day only.
The discounted tickets are available at the Festival Box Office only, so be sure to come to the booth to see what shows are featured.
We look forward to sharing this year with you as we say goodbye to one of the most recognizable Toronto landmarks and as we innovate towards the future.
The Toronto Fringe
Now celebrating its 28th year, the Toronto Fringe provides creative opportunities for artists and audiences by producing two important festivals – the Toronto Fringe Festival and the Next Stage Theatre Festival – and by running outreach activities that benefit youth, artists and the theatre community at large. In 2014, the Toronto Fringe launched a national crowdfunding platform for indie artists, called Fund What You Can (FWYC). Our home, the Fringe Creation Lab, welcomes independent artists year round, encouraging their creative work by offering them affordable space to make art, congregate and innovate.
