Tickets can be purchased in advance from the Underbelly Edinburgh website. All tickets are subject to availability and booking fees. For times and prices go to our What's On page. You can also call our booking line on 0131 510 0395.

Ticket prices can go up incrementally after they go on sale, based on demand. (as per our terms of sale) We offer a range of prices to suit different budgets. Where some people are willing to pay more for tickets, especially for in-demand shows, it helps brings in much needed additional revenue for artist and producers and directly helps us to continue to offer more affordable options for others.   We have a range of discounted ticket options available including preview pricing, concession tickets, family tickets, group booking discounts, local resident offers as well as additional venue and company-led promotions or discounts. This is an opt-in scheme for artists and producers.

To ensure aisles are kept clear for emergency exits, infant carriers, strollers, and walkers are not permitted in the auditorium. A space for buggy (buggy park) outside the venue can be provided but please note any items left will be at your own risk.

For security reasons only small bags will be allowed into the venue. We class a small bag as A4 size or smaller or a standard handbag.
Large bags such as travelling backpacks, suitcases, travel cases are NOT permitted inside the venue, and we do not have any storage options available.

Underbelly is committed to the development, implementation and continual improvement of a sustainable event management system to minimise any negative impacts of its operations.

Underbelly’s sustainability principles are:

• Integrity & Ethical Behaviour: To act ethically and with integrity in our event operations with regard for the law and without bias, including in our dealings with our employees, customers, suppliers and towards society and the environment.
• Inclusivity & Accessibility: To produce high quality events which are inclusive and accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
• Environmental Performance: To minimise the impact of events on the environment.
• Collaboration & Transparency: To collaborate and build relationships with stakeholders and the general public and to ensure that all stakeholders have access to all relevant information about event operations.
• Legality: To meet and exceed all applicable legal and regulatory requirements in all activities.
• Stewardship: To show leadership and best practice in sustainable event management.

Underbelly has a year-round team and office based in Edinburgh and employ a further 450 temporary staff over the Edinburgh Fringe season. All staff at the Fringe are paid the Real Living Wage as a minimum, regardless of age. All staff are engaged on a minimum-hour contract, with no zero-hour contracts. All training sessions and breaks are paid.

All of our venues at the Fringe use mains power so there is no requirement for diesel or petrol generators.

All cups and consumables from the bar and food traders are compostable, recyclable or re-usable. Priority is given to Edinburgh-based independent food traders.

Scheduling Multiple Performances
If you are planning to attend more than one performance in a day, we recommend allowing at least 30 minutes between the advertised end time of one performance and the start time of the next, in addition to sufficient time to travel between venues.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure performances start and finish at their advertised times, running times are approximate and performances may overrun due to technical, artistic or operational reasons. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to attend a subsequent performance if insufficient time has been allowed between bookings, and refunds or exchanges will not be offered where a performance is missed for this reason.
