Fringe Button Discounts
Your Fringe Button is your passport to the Windsor International Fringe Festival. Your Fringe Button will get you into all theatre venues and a ton of discounts in Downtown Windsor during the festival - wearing your Fringe Button pays!
Your Fringe Button is also an important way to support the production costs of the Festival, as 100% of the box office proceeds are returned to the participating artists. Anyone attending a theatre performance will need both a theatre ticket ($9) and a Fringe Button ($3) to be admitted to our venues. Kids Fringe requires a one-time Fringe button purchase and is good all week for 5 days of non-stop fun from July 20 to July 25, 11 AM to 5PM Tuesday - Sunday at the Art Gallery of Windsor..
Windsor Fringe buttons are $3 and will be on sale as of June 15, 2010 at the Devonshire Mall for in-person sales only. They will also be available for sale at each venue and at the Fringe HQ at 100 University Avenue West, across the street from the Capitol Theatre, the week before and all 10 days of the festival.
The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals is built on four principles:
- No Artistic Direction. Artists are selected by ‘first come, first served’.
- No Censorship. Artists have complete freedom to present their work.
- Accessibility to artists. Anyone can apply to the Fringe.
- Accessibility to audience. Ticket prices are kept low and 100% of the ticket price is returned to the artists you see on stage.
