Doing the Edinburgh Festival

Written by Mark Howitt Thursday, 01 September 2011 14:33

The Fringe has lots of 2 for 1 offers on Monday 8th & Tuesday 9th August. These are clearly marked throughout the Fringe programme. From 10th August you can get half price tickets on selected shows from the Virgin Money Half Price Hut in the Mound Precinct. And if you're really strapped for cash you can save yourself the 9o pence per ticket booking fee by going direct to the Fringe Box Office in the High Street but be warned: them there queues be long & tiresome!

But possibly the best way to save money is to get yourself along to the Pleasance Courtyard on Wednesday 3rd & Thursday 4th August, buy yourself a drink, sit down and wait. Performers are desperate to get bums on seats at this stage of the festival and it won't be long until someone approaches you asking if you want to see their show. And who knows? That free ticket might be for this year's next big thing.
