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.
The primary responsibility of the 180 Box Office Supervisor is to provide an exceptionally high standard of service to the customers of the clients who have contracted the 180 Box Office to provide a ticketing facility for their festivals and events.
Under the guidance of the 180 Box Office Manager and with the support of the rest of the Box Office team, the successful applicant will be responsible for dealing with both customer queries and assisting the client in the delivery of the event. The candidate will assist customers with ticket sales, customer services, access bookings and occasionally complaints. After additional training, this role will also include event setup in the Red61 Ticketing System. Your role will also support the Fringe Box Office Customer Services and Box Edits Teams if required. This position reports to the 180 Box Office Manager.
Role and responsibilities:
The successful candidate will perform a wide range of duties, including but not limited to:
- Liaising with agency clients to assist in the delivery of their events e.g. processing comp tickets, adding ticket offers to the system, etc.
- Adding new events and performances to the ticketing system.
- Managing show changes within the ticketing system e.g. date and time alterations, show cancellations etc.
- Managing ticket allocations within the Red61 ticketing software.
- Liaising with venues and performers to provide ticketing reports.
- Assisting customers with ticket sales over the phone and in person.
- Processing access bookings for customers with specific access requirements.
- Issuing refunds/exchanges to customers who have booked tickets for cancelled shows.
- Dealing with customer queries by email across the multiple inboxes.
- Assisting in the facilitation of delegate programmes when required for an event.
- Arranging the postage or collection of physical tickets if required for an event.
- Abiding by pre-defined policies and procedures to ensure the professional, efficient and effective operation of the 180 Box Office.
- Processing and maintaining appropriate paperwork relating to customer queries and complaints.
- Training festival/event staff on box office tasks such as how to use the Red61 FOH app.

Dear Applicant, Women in Prison is the only national charity focused on women in the criminal justice sector, we are women-led and know the importance of ensuring we have a clear gendered approach in all that we do. Our influencing potential and campaigning voice are substantial. We are currently in our 40th year of supporting women impacted by the criminal justice system. We work with women who are at risk of, or being, harmed by the systems that are meant to protect us. At Women in Prison we are passionate, ambitious and grounded in the reality of women’s lives. We are proud of our roots as a feminist grassroots organisation, and we have grown from strength to strength since the 1980s, delivering services to women and campaigning for change. We exist to support women facing multiple marginalisation and exclusion, who have been let down, and their rights denied. We believe that prison doesn’t work and we want to see an end to the harmful imprisonment of women in England and Wales. This is a very exciting time in Women in Prison. As a deeply value-led organisation, we know that our recently agreed set of values represents the unique nature of our organisation, and also need to hold us to account for how we work in an unpredictable future. Our new vision and purpose will guide us as we build a strategy during 2024 to be implemented from 2025. We know we want to build more coproduction; deeper support to women who are disproportionately affected by the system through an intersectional lens; greater connection between the women we support and the influencing we do; an increased focus on alternatives to the system and a stronger focus on preventing women being caught up in the system. If you are excited by our purpose, and the breadth of what this role could offer to you, we would love to hear from you. I look forward to meeting you. Sonya Ruparel, Chief Executive 2 1. Women in Prison – Our Story Our Vision is of a society which no longer accepts the structural inequalities that lead women and girls into contact with the criminal justice system. Women in Prison was born out of the anger our founder – Chris Tchaikovsky – felt about what she experienced and saw when imprisoned in HMP Holloway in the 1980s. During Chris' time in prison, a woman died after setting fire to her own cell. Chris saw that the specific needs of women in prison and the damaging effect prison sentences were having on women scarcely figured in public or political discourse. So, in 1983, alongside international criminologist Pat Carlen, Chris founded Women in Prison, pushed hard to expose this scandal and campaigned for change. Our founders wanted to increase awareness of the lives behind the women in our prisons, and the impact of poverty and abuse on women’s lives. Chris believed the idea of sending a woman to prison as punishment was shameful and absurd. In her words: 3 “Taking the most hurt people out of society and punishing them in order to teach them how to live within society is, at best, futile. Whatever else a prisoner knows, she knows everything there is to know about punishment because that is exactly what she has grown up with. Whether it is childhood sexual abuse, indifference, neglect; punishment is most familiar to her.” In the early 1990s, the organisation was able to expand its remit be...
