Let us help you find a show, find your venue and tell you all the important things you need to know to make your Fringe experience the absolute best!
Find a show
You're doing Fringe right when you go on a Fringe binge and see a tonne of spectacular shows!
Here's some tips to help you find shows:
- Download the FRINGE WORLD app for customised recommendations, maps, to buy tickets and more.
- Get to know the hottest spots in town - Hubs and Venues.
- Get show recommendations from Fringefeed, the home of Fringe reviews and news (updated daily!). Fringefeed is also available on the app.
- During the Festival, grab a last-minute bargain with Rushtix.
What to bring with you
Many FRINGE WORLD venues are licensed and you may be asked for valid Photo ID to gain entry. In some instances, under 18's are welcome to licensed areas but must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian and the decision to allow entry is entirely at the discretion of the licensee. Each venue can have different licensing conditions so please check the venue license rules on our website before purchasing a ticket.
Most venues are cashless, so bring your credit/debit card.
Getting to and from your venue
The app map
The map in the FRINGE WORLD app will make getting to your venue a breeze. You can use the map to find parking nearby and a train station, if it's within 15mins walking distance. Neato!
Arrive Early!
Don’t forget to arrive early for your show so you have time to relax with a pre-show drink or treat. Some shows don't permit late entry.
We now have e-ticketing and venues don’t require you to have a printed ticket to gain entry to the show. Simply show your order confirmation email or your e-ticket on the FRINGE WORLD app to gain entry.
A queue will form outside your venue before showtime and most shows have unallocated seating, so line up early to get your pick of the seats or join the Friends club to skip the line.
Accessibility information
FRINGE WORLD is dedicated to creating the best possible experience for all visitors to the Festival.
The information on this page is provided for customers with access requirements.
On-site assistance
We want FRINGE WORLD to be a safe and welcoming place for all.
If you need assistance at a FRINGE WORLD Managed Hub, find someone with a FRINGE WORLD t-shirt and they will help.
If it's a delicate matter, look out for team members with a ‘smiley face’ badge on their shirt. These awesome people have been hand-selected and trained to assist in delicate situations, and they also have a current Working With Children Check.
We also have the Ask For Freddie safety campaign, which is based on the internationally recognised safety campaign “Ask for Angela”. If you are feeling threatened at this venue, you can approach any bar staff, site security or any person with a FRINGE WORLD staff t-shirt and use the code work “Freddie” to let them know you need assistance.
Lost and Found Children Procedure
There is a comprehensive Lost and Found Children Procedure at FRINGE WORLD.
There are plans in place with staff and site managers at FRINGE WORLD Managed Hubs and The Pleasure Garden.
