Part 3/8:
For first-timers, the ticket-buying process at the Edinburgh Fringe can be a bit confusing. Tickets are sold for individual shows rather than the festival as a whole. Many performances are general admission, which means seating is first-come, first-served. Tickets can be purchased online through the official Fringe website, via an app, or at box offices located at venues and the main opera house.
Planning in advance pays off—if there’s a big-name act you want to see, or if you’re visiting on a weekend, it’s wise to book those tickets soon after they go on sale. While spontaneity can enrich your experience, securing tickets early ensures you don’t miss out on popular shows.
