If you’re very organised, you might already have booked your tickets for the Edinburgh International Festival or Edinburgh Festival Fringe online and had them delivered by the time August rolls around.

However, the Festival and Fringe are spontaneous events, and you might find yourself changing your plans unexpectedly, or leaving it until the last minute to decide which shows to see.

Whether you need to know where you can buy tickets in person, or you just want to see all of the locations where you can pick them up, we’ve got you covered.

Edinburgh International Festival

To buy tickets for the International Festival in person, you’ll need to head to Hub Tickets, which is located at the following address: The Hub, Castlehill, EH1 2NE.

You can also collect any tickets you have booked online from Hub Tickets in advance. Alternatively, already booked tickets can be picked up at the show’s venue from one hour before the start of the performance.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Tickets for the Fringe can be booked in person at the festival’s official box office, which can be found here: 180 High Street, EH1 1QS.

Friends of the Fringe can also use an exclusive box office, located on Old Assembly Close, next to 180 High Street box office.

From Wednesday 8 August discounted tickets can be purchased in person from the Virgin Money Half Price Hut, which is located at the foot of The Mound, between the Scottish National Gallery and West Princes Street Gardens.
