How to buy tickets
All you need to know about Fringe ticketing.
Please note the following information may be subject to change. Most tickets are available from the beginning of June if not before. Keep in touch with venues info and updates here.
Buying tickets is easy as each event has its own booking information and links 
detailed on each event listing. For many shows, you will find tickets available on the door or in advance from the act's own tickets sales outlet. Seating is usually unreserved. Look out for discounts for children or for concessions (you may need to show proof of status). Here are some additional pointers:
How to buy tickets for Underground Venues
Managed venue Underground is the sole ticket outlet for all the shows it hosts.
Underground turns 20: Underground is celebrating 20 years on the Buxton Fringe with two venues: the former shop on Spring Gardens that they ran in 2024 and – new for 2025 – a 100-seat theatre downstairs at Buxton Working Men’s Club (at the junction of Lightwood and Fairfield Road).
Tickets for all 76 shows and events can be bought online from underthefringe.com - with no booking or transaction fees - from May 9th.
During the Fringe, Underground also has its own Box Office upstairs at Sacro Lounge on Spring Gardens open from 12:30pm to 8.30pm every week day and 11.30am to 8.30pm at weekends. Alternatively, tickets can be bought on the door at both venues, shortly before each performance.
Accessibility information and directions can be found here.
6 for 5: If you buy tickets to 5 different shows in the Underground programme, you can claim a free ticket to your 6th! Just email boxoffice@underthefringe.com with your name and the show you'd like to see.
Cost Of Living discount: Underground offer a Cost Of Living discount for all their shows, which allows you to buy a ticket for between £2-£5 off the main ticket price. This is available to anyone who, for any reason, doesn't feel they can afford the full (or concession) price of a ticket. This is self-selecting and no evidence will be required. Simply select 'Cost of Living' under 'Discounts' when booking online.
How to buy tickets for all other venues
Refer to the ticketing information/booking links detailed on each event listing.
Some performers choose to sell tickets via the Buxton Opera House - look for the 
on listings on the website and in the printed programme. These tickets will be available from June onwards from Buxton Opera House Box Office, Water St, Buxton SK17 6XN, 01298 72190, or via buxtonoperahouse.org.uk. On the Fringe website and the free-to-download Fringe App, each event with opera house ticket sales is listed with a direct booking link. Box office sales at the Opera House will continue right up to the time of performance but internet sales will cease at close of business the day before. See buxtonoperahouse.org.uk/booking-information.
Don’t forget to pick up prepaid tickets (including those sold online) from the Opera House Box Office as early as you can and well before the performance as you will need a physical ticket! Note: the Opera House Box Office is closed all day on Sunday July 13th and may be subject to occasional unavoidable closures.
Fringe Friends may book in person, online or on the telephone. If booking online or on the phone, Friends should use the special promo code (communicated separately to them via the Fringe) in order to receive their 10% discount, and then show their card when they pick up their tickets.
Please note the Opera House is only able to advise on the tickets that it is selling. During the Fringe, the Fringe Information Desk, now in the Octagon Lounge in the Pavilion Gardens, can provide general advice but does not sell tickets.
Fringe for Free
Many of our events are free. Sometimes our performers ask for donations however - please be generous if you can.

Accessibility information for people with disabilities
The Fringe believe that arts are for all and has a thriving Community Links scheme aiming to bring performances and workshops to people who might otherwise miss out.
The Fringe uses a wide number of venues, some more accessible than others. Our venues list offers useful information about the accessibility of key venues that are used during the Fringe as well as venue contact details for further enquiries.
High Peak Borough Council offers information about public toilets for people with disabilities here. The Pavilion Gardens building has a Changing Places toilet. These are larger than standard accessible toilets and designed for dependent use, for example those with a carer. See also Visit Buxton's useful Accessible Buxton page.
