For example: add £2k to your tier to enable a local community / youth group to experience the Fringe for free.

Frequently asked questions

What does my Friends membership fee contribute to?
How do I know when my membership is active?

Your membership will be active as soon as you have completed payment and will be linked to the contact who completes the purchase. When the contact logs in, they will notice that the login symbol in the top right-hand corner of tickets.edfringe.com has turned purple, indicating your status as a Fringe Friend. If this is showing as blue instead of purple, please contact the Fringe Network Friends team.
How does the Fringe Network Friends 2for1 ticket offer work?
Fringe shows have the option to take part in the Friends 2for1 ticket offer at the point of registration – you'll be able to see which shows have signed up by looking out for the purple Friends icon on their edfringe.com listing.

Fringe Network Friends 2for1 ticket offers are linked to the primary contact directly. Once they have logged into the Fringe Network Friends account and have chosen a participating show, they simply need to select two full-price tickets and a discount to the cost of one full-price ticket will be applied at the checkout stage.

Please note:
- The Friends 2for1 ticket offer cannot be used in conjunction with other 2for1 ticket offers or concessions.
- The Friends 2for1 ticket offer applies only to those shows which have chosen to take part, not every show in the programme.
- The offer is valid for a maximum of five times per show run.
