Ticket deals
The Fringe Box Office opens on 9 June. Tickets tend to be cheaper at the start of the Fringe festival, with special deals at most venues and ticket giveaways to get bums on seats during the crucial first week when the press are in. Some of the cheaper "preview" shows start at the end of July.
In 2008, the Fringe has introduced Fringe Ticket Frenzy
for the first time, where "everything must go" on the final day of the Fringe. On Monday 25 August all artists will be offered the opportunity to sell all remaining tickets at half price.
