Now that I've gotten y'all excited about having some down home farm fun, here's some official info from the Toronto Fringe Festival about purchasing tickets!

Fringe Ticket Passes
Part of the fun of Fringing is sampling as many plays as possible. In order to encourage patrons to take a few risks when picking their plays -- and to help save some money at the same time -- the Festival offers three discount ticket passes that we hope you'll consider purchasing.

FRINGE 5-PLAY PASS: $40.00
This pass was a huge hit at last year's Fringe! It gives anyone the chance to check out 5 shows of their choice. Maximum one ticket per play per pass.

FREQUENT FRINGER PASS: $70.00
This popular pass gives you the chance to check out 10 shows for the price of seven. Maximum one ticket per play per pass.

BUDDY PASS: $90.00
For people who Fringe in pairs. This 14-show pass allows you to see and share with another for the price of 9 shows. Up to two tickets per play per pass.

Passes can be ordered in advance by calling 416-966-1062, by faxing the order form to 416-966-5072, or can be purchased in person at the TO TIX booth at Yonge-Dundas Square.

Starting July 5, passes can be purchased at the Advance Ticket Box Office, 292 Brunswick Ave., from Noon to 8pm daily. Passes will also be available during the festival at Fringe venues 1 to 11 (cash sales only).

All Fringe passes may only be used for "at the door" tickets and are non-transferable. The Buddy Pass can have one or two names listed on the pass. ID must be shown when using your pass.

Advance Ticket Sales
If you prefer not to stand in line to purchase a ticket, or if you want to make sure you get a ticket to that "Fringe Hit", we've provided you with three advance ticket options.
