Finances
Artists pay a registration fee to participate, which includes ticketing support, marketing tools, and access to sales campaigns. Fringe does not take a percentage of box office revenue. Instead, $25.6 million in ticket sales was paid out directly to artists and venues in the most recent season.
Adelaide Fringe also provides financial support through the Fringe Fund, which accepts applications from artists with bold creative ideas. The 2025 Fringe Fund grant applications are open from 1 August to 10 September 2024.
