THE BUTTON + THE BUTTON DISCOUNT PROGRAM
Fringe buttons are required when attending any ticketed Fringe event.* Buttons are a required one-time purchase with your first ticket that allows you to attend festival productions. Displaying a button is required for any patron attending a ticketed theater show, no exceptions. If purchasing your first ticket in person at any festival venue, our volunteers will guide you through the process. After that, as long as you physically have your button with you when entering a show, you just need the ticket - giving you a $5 discount to each performance!
*Buttons are NOT required for Fringe After Dark events.
WHAT DO I GET FOR PURCHASING A BUTTON?
We're pleased to present area businesses offering GREAT deals and discounts to Fringe patrons when they show their buttons. We will share participating vendors and their discounts in September.
