If you're trying to get out to see a hot ticket at the Fringe - you've got another chance.
The
Winnipeg Fringe Festival has announced their "Best of Fest" lists.
These are the shows that are the top-sellers (and shows with "popular
momentum") at each of the 12 regular Fringe venues (unfortunately,
"Bring Your Own Venue" spaces don't participate in "Best of Fest," so no
encore for popular shows like Loon).
Unlike other Fringe shows, 100 per cent of the tickets for these performances will be available in advance:
