How to use this site

Imagine a portal that contains the entire Assembly, Gilded Balloon, Pleasance and Underbelly programme all in one place. Chuck in some pictures. Maybe a map or two. Well that's what this website is about. Making it easier for you to find out what's on in Edinburgh this festival.

To start
It depends. Have you come to the site looking for one show in particular (hint: our handy search up there will scour the site to find any instance of the word you search for), or have you come to find inspiration for your stay (you cann search shows by genre, venue and time of day by using our find box over there on the left).

Booking tickets
As you skate around the site, look out for our handy 'add to my shortlist' links. Click the link, and it will just save the show to the handy list over there on the right. Then you won't lose a show - it's always there waiting for you, like a puppy waiting outside the shop. When you're ready to book tickets, click on the date you'd like to book for, and you'll be be taken on a whirlwind journey of ticket buying frenzy!

T's and C's
Like any good site, we've got a few terms of sale that we'd like to draw your attention to. There is a booking fee of 80p per ticket (maximum £4 per transaction), and all tickets are sold on a non-refundable basis. You're responsible for getting to the theatre on time, and on the date on your ticket. And don't eat yellow snow.
