Edinburgh Fringe Shop and Box Office
Located just down the Royal Mile from St. Giles cathedral and the City Chambers.
The braincentre and headquarters for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The Fringe Shop is the front end, with the Fringe Press and Performers Centre around the back of the shop.
Buy your tickets here. Find information about the Fringe and Fringe programmes, or get your souvenirs here.
The Fringe Shop sells paraphenalia such as T-shirts and mugs the year around. During late July and throughout August the Fringe Shop is a magnet for performers promoting their shows. The whole High Street fills up with street performers and people putting on mini shows and thrusting fliers and often free tickets or 2-for-the-price-of-1 type deals.
Anywhere within the vicinity of the Fringe Shop is a good place to hang out if you just want to get a flavour of the Fringe and preview some of the shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.
During July and even June, the area of the High Street near the Fringe office is relatively busy with buskers and musicians.
