How to Fringe & Purchase Tickets
With so many talented featured artist companies of all genres as well as amazing workshops and other special events in the 2012 Boulder International Fringe Festival, it may seem overwhelming to make sense of it all. But with some helpful tips, you’ll be on your way to discovering the magic that is the Fringe!
HOW TO FRINGE
Pick Up a Fringe Program (or browse our Fringe Program on the website)
You’re off to a great start already. Now, start flipping through the pages (be they paper or web) and create a list of shows that you absolutely have to check out.
Getting Around
Once you’ve picked your show, check out the venue map to find the location of the venue and make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get there before showtime. Parking can be very limited around the Fringe sites so we suggest walking or cycling when Fringing.
Spread the Word and Rate the shows
Part of the fun of Fringing is finding out what other audience members are enjoying or passing on tips about the shows you’ve seen. So be sure to strike up a conversation with someone in line at a show and compare notes. And don’t forget to rate all of the shows you see.
Got Questions?
During the festival, feel free to stop by The Fringe Main Box Office located at The Downtown Visitor’s Information Center, 1301 Pearl St (Corner of Pearl and 13th) 12 pm to 8 pm daily (August 16th-26th) where you can get info, purchase Frequent Fringer Passes and merchandise, buy tickets and much more.
You can also call the Fringe Info Line at 303-803-5643 or email us .
Four Important Things To Remember When “Fringing”
1. General admission seating for all performances.
2. All Fringe shows start on time so be sure to set your watch to local Mountain time.
3. Latecomers will not be admitted into any performance. Even those patrons with tickets will not be admitted once a performance has started. No exceptions. Parking is limited in downtown Boulder, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get to the venue on time.
4. All ticket sales are final. There are no refunds or exchanges. 100% of the box office revenue goes directly to the performers.
