The idea at the heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is simple: anyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them is welcome. No individual or committee determines who can or cannot perform at the Fringe.
It all began in 1947 with eight companies – six of them from Scotland – taking a risk, turning up uninvited and performing on the ‘fringe’ of the inaugural Edinburgh International Festival. Over 75 years later, the Fringe has grown to become one of the greatest platforms for creative freedom in the world, second only to the Olympics in terms of global ticketed events.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society was founded by artists to nurture and uphold the Fringe's values of inclusivity, experimentation and imagination. We exist to support, advise and encourage everyone who wants to participate in the Fringe, provide information and assistance to audiences, and celebrate the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world.

They also support the wider society team with the Fringe Society Fringe Info phone line and email. Ideal candidates would be personable, enthusiastic and capable of providing a high level of customer service. This position reports to the Box Office Operations Manager.
Role and responsibilities
The successful candidate will perform a wide range of duties, including but not limited to:
- selling tickets on a computerised ticketing system in person and by phone
- dealing with general enquiries from customers regarding the festival
- dealing with general enquiries for the Fringe Society via phone and email
- supporting the Customer Service Coordinator to complete basic customer service tasks
- following Fringe Box Office policies, procedures, and processes at all times
- assisting the Access Bookings Coordinator in processing bookings for customers with specific access requirements
- becoming familiar with edfringe.com and the EdFringe app to assist customers with queries relating to those ticket sales channels
- assisting with other festivals or events that are ticketed through the 180 Box Office if the Fringe workload allows.
Person specification
Essential
- Excellent customer service skills when dealing with members of the public.
- The ability to work in a team as well as using your own initiative.
- A polite, professional and confident manner when dealing with the public.
- Excellent communication skills, both oral and written.
- Proficient computer skills including a good working knowledge of Office 365 packages.
