  • For more information on shows and tickets, please visit https://tickets.vancouverfringe.com/
  • Please note, we send folks to the main ticketing page because there is important health & safety information that we don’t want patrons to bypass.

Also, we got 16 Pre-Recorded shows online, viewable at any time during the Festival (Sep. 9-19). Although they may not be considered fully d/Deaf/Hard of Hearing friendly, they do all have closed captioning available.

 
We are happy to provide some free tickets to the community for any folks who find the ticket prices a barrier to attend shows. Please have them send their requests to boxoffice@vancouverfringe.com. Something worth mentioning is, since one of the interpreted shows is during the daytime and pay parking is in effect on Granville Island, we do have limited parking bursaries available. Guests just need to present their parking receipt at the venue to a Fringe staff and we will reimburse them.
