Sidestep the Fringe box office closure

Following this weekend's news of further problems with the Fringe central ticketing system, FringeGuru is currently recommending you book all Fringe tickets directly with the venue.  To help, we've pulled together this list of details for the most popular Fringe sites, including box office phone numbers and a note of whether you can book tickets online.

To use the table, find the venue number you're interested in on the left-hand side.  Remember that most venues charge a booking fee - for more details, ask when you call the box office or check on their website.
