FESTIVAL ENTRY BUTTONS & TICKETS

What's the deal with the buttons? Yes, they are cool. And yes, they are REQUIRED for each personattending a performance (even free ones) and for entry to the Visual Art Exhibit. Your one-time $3 button purchase allows you to buy performance tickets and helps this volunteer-run, small-budgeted festival keep afloat! You are also investing in the growing local arts movement in our community.  And remember, 100% of all ticket sales go directly to the artists. 

 

After you’ve bought a Festival Entry Button, you may purchase individual show tickets at elginfringefestival.com or Fringe Central. All performances, even the free ones, require physical tickets (yup, paper) for entry. Sorry, no downloadable tickets–we’re old school like that! That meansALL Fringe attendees MUST VISIT FRINGE CENTRAL to pick up physical tickets and buttons for show entry! Please plan ahead! No tickets are available for sale or pick-upat Fringe Venues. You may purchase tickets at Fringe Central as late as 15 minutes before any given show begins. ​


 

FESTIVAL PASSES

For the Fringe enthusiast, we offer a Festival Pass for $95, available online or at Fringe Central. Not only does this slick laminated pass make you look cool, it also allows you entry to ALL Elgin Fringe performances! 

 

You may select performances you will attend when purchasing your pass or anytime during the festival at Fringe Central, based on availability. Physical tickets are required for entry to all performances and must be picked up from Fringe Central.
