What’s that, Toronto? You’re worried about the Toronto Fringe Festival selling out? Yeah, I liked Fringe better when they were in their bluegrass phase, before they went all top-4o cock-rock. That big record deal really ruin–
Oh.
You meant the other kind of selling out. Well, I’ve got good news! Through the co-operation of literally dozens of participating companies, Mooney on Theatre invites you to Fringe for Free: two guaranteed tickets, five shows to choose from, and all you’ve got to do is send us an email!
For every day of the festival, we’ll be giving out tickets to 5 shows. Exciting, right? What’s even more exciting is how easy it is to enter – you can enter each of the five contests by sending us an email (more details below).
Remember, you need to enter each contest individually. If we pick your name, you’ve got two tickets heading your way.
Check out the list of the 5 shows playing on Thursday July 10th after the jump!
