sales at off-Island venues will be limited. Performances often fill up fast so, to avoid
disappointment, we encourage all patrons to book tickets in advance.
Our new box office system for 2023 also makes online booking easier than ever, so be sure to visit our website and secure your seats today.

Tickets & Membership
As chosen by each of our presenting artists, tickets are available from $15 following the purchase of a Festival Membership.
Festival Memberships must be purchased in advance/with your initial ticket for a one-off $10 fee. Memberships last one year from the first day of our Festival (Sep 7, 2023) and grant you full access to our vibrant Festival program.
As a non-profit society, your Membership helps to cover our core operational costs, and enables us to offer the base costs of your tickets straight back to artists. This ensures our homegrown talent (as well as those from further afield) can continue creating awe-inspiring work year after year. Membership also grants you access to our annual AGM, where you – our community – can shape the future of Vancouver Fringe.
Membership is free for children aged 13 and under. Must be accompanied by an adult.
Multi-Buy Passes
If you are purchasing 5 shows or more, we recommend considering one of our Multi-
Buy discount passes, giving you access to more shows for much less!
Simply add 5/10/25 shows into your cart (or when calling over the phone), ensuring
you have selected ‘Multi-Buy Ticket’ from assorted ticket type options. Can’t decide
all at once? No problem! You can also purchase Multi-Buy Passes as a separate item, to be redeemed at any time during the Festival. To load up your account, head to our Multi-Buy Passes page.

As standard, all of our online shows feature English captions for d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. Simply toggle captions on/off when streaming your selected show.
Children
Not all Fringe shows are suitable for children. Babes-in-arms (under 2yrs) are permitted, but we ask that you be respectful of other patrons and leave the theatre should your baby cause disturbance. Keep in mind that we do not censor or jury any of the content. ‘All Ages’ shows are child friendly, but are not necessarily created with children in mind.
