FAQ
Can I attend a FRINGE WORLD event if I'm under 18?
Many FRINGE WORLD venues are licensed. If you're under 18, you may need valid Photo ID for entry. Some venues allow under-18s in licensed areas if accompanied by a responsible adult, but entry is at the licensee's discretion. Check venue licensing rules before purchasing tickets. Some events are 18+ only; so we recommend checking first for restrictions. Always review and check content disclosures before purchasing, as refunds are not offered if admission is refused.
Are there concession prices for tickets?
Yes, concession pricing is available for selected events. Full-time Students, Pensioners, Seniors Card holders, and Health Care Card holders can enjoy a 15% discount off the Full-price ticket. Concession availability varies, and artists, presenters, and venues decide eligibility. Proof of concession is required upon entry.
Is there a special price for kids?
Some shows offer special ticket prices for children. Kids (12 and under) tickets grant entry for children, and those under two can enter free if they don't need a seat. Family tickets are available for families of four, including 2 adults and 2 children or 1 adult and 3 children. Children must be 12 or under (excluding those under 2 who don't need a separate seat). Check show details for specific ticketing options.
