What’s a Scranton Fringe Button, you ask? Well, it’s a great money saver and a fun Fringe accessory wrapped up in one! If you attended the 2015 Scranton Fringe Festival, you know that Fringe buttons actually serve a few really cool purposes. First and most importantly, wearing yours gives you a great, reusable discount on tickets to the performances on Fringe Weekend (September 29th- October 2nd, in case you forgot!). Once you pay $5 for your Fringe Button, you will get $3 off PER ticket purchase. Tickets for all shows are on sale now – click here to secure yours (smaller venues WILL sell out in advance!).
Shows are $10, and we wanted to implement a system that would help people be able to see more performances. If you think you’re going to attend even TWO shows over the course of the weekend, you should get your Fringe Button as soon as possible! They are available at Fringe HQ and all of our great button partners. Please note: If you purchase your ticket in advance at the Button Holder Price, you MUST show your 2016 Button at the Box Office of each venue or you WILL be charged the $3 before being admitted to a show.
This brings us to the next great benefit of your Fringe Button – our Button Partners! We have sixteen awesome local small business that are all offering different discounts for showing your button until the end of 2016! Not only can you buy your button at these locations, you can show your button next time you’re there and score a discount simply for supporting Scranton Fringe!
