Multi-show tickets and savings

Many WAF audiences build a short festival diary in June, booking several performances in a single transaction. The festival highlights savings on multi-show baskets so more people can try work from different parts of the programme.

Wandsworth Arts Fringe spreads right across the borough, so a multi-show plan often mixes town-centre venues with riverside walks, church halls, and pub theatres. Starting from the home page you can skim festival announcements, then jump to News and opportunities when dates go live and box-office links are refreshed for the current year.

If you are producing work rather than buying tickets, the registration path sits on Take Part, with fee bands and deadlines for the edition you are joining. The following notes are written for visitors who already know which shows they want and simply need a clear order of operations.

How to book several shows in one go

  1. Open the official programme listing for the target year and add each event to your basket using the same customer account, so fee rules recognise them as one checkout.
  2. Check whether each event uses the same primary box office. Some partner venues still sell their own allocation, in which case ask the venue team if they honour festival-wide bundles before you pay.
  3. Look for a multi-show discount banner or code at checkout, which typically appears when two or more eligible performances sit in the basket together.
  4. Save confirmation emails for every seat group. They list refund windows and replacement policies if you need to swap a date after purchase.
  5. Plan travel between sites using TfL maps or the Venue Directory postcode entries, especially when you schedule back-to-back shows on the same evening.

What usually counts as a separate show

Each ticketed title with its own listing counts as one show, even when two short pieces share an evening bill. Double-headers sold as a single product count once. Workshops that only ask for a material donation may fall outside retail discount rules, so read the fine print on that listing page.

Keeping access needs in the same basket

If you need captioned, relaxed, or step-free seating, add the access note on every ticket line rather than only the first, since houses operate different layouts. The Access Toolkit for creatives describes labels artists may use, which makes comparing listings faster when you shortlist several shows in one night.

Still curious about how the festival is run? The main About page walks through open-access principles and support for artists, while this page stays focused on practical ticketing. When in doubt, email arts@wandsworth.gov.uk with your basket screenshot and the team can confirm eligibility before you pay.
