EDINBURGH FRINGE 2026
Get Your Show Seen
Fringe Map is where people actively choose what to see: they pick a genre, a night, an area, and the map shows them their options. A promoted slot puts your show at the top of that moment, clearly labelled, for less than you pay one flyerer for one day.
HOW IT WORKS

Find your show
type its name, it's already on the map
2
Pick a slot
you only see ones your show qualifies for
3
Pay by card
posted price, via Stripe
4
Live in minutes
runs until your last night
WHAT YOU'RE BUYING
Your show sits in a labelled box above the ordinary results, on the pages and map views where people are choosing a show like yours — and it keeps its normal listing too. Money never reorders the ordinary results.
PRICING — POSTED, FLAT, NO NEGOTIATION
Genre Featured
from £99 for your whole run
- Top of your genre's own page, where people browse comedy, theatre, music…
- Top of the map's results whenever a visitor filters to your genre
- Every day until your last performance — one payment, no renewals
Only 5 slots per genre, ever. Price steps as slots fill — £99 · £149 · £199 · £249 · £299 — posted before anyone buys, so early shows pay less.
Featured in a Moment
£249 for your whole run
- Top of one of the map's big moments: Tonight, Free, Family, Late Night, Under £10 or Award Winners
- Reaches people deciding right now — “what's on tonight?” is the busiest question of the festival
- Every day until your last performance
8 slots per moment. Your show must genuinely qualify — a kids' show cannot buy Late Night; we check in code, not on trust.
Spotlight
£749 for your whole run
- The first list every map visitor sees, before any filter is applied
- Plus everything in Genre Featured — your genre page and its map results
- Every day until your last performance
10 slots exist across the whole festival. When they are gone, they are gone.
Agency Bundle
£499 for 5 slots
- Five Genre Featured slots across your roster — you pick the shows
- One flat rate, locked — whatever the ladder says when you book
- Invoice available — no card needed
For agencies and producers with multiple shows. Slots still count toward the per-genre caps — bundles don't jump any queue.
Run split across venues or date blocks? The Fringe API lists each block separately, but it's one show: one slot covers every listing, until your last night.
For scale: the official printed programme's ads sold out months ago, and official digital packages start at £1,795. This is the tier under that, for the shows those prices leave out.
AVAILABILITY — THE PUBLIC LEDGER
Every cap is real and this table is generated from the live placement ledger. Updates with each site deploy.
THE RULES — SAME FOR EVERYONE
- Promoted slots sit above the normal listings in a clearly labelled box. The normal listings are never reordered by money.
- The map itself is never for sale. No paid pins, no paid positions on the map. Promotion lives in lists and pages only.
- Every placement is labelled Promoted. Always.
- Money buys visibility, never credibility. Ratings on the map are real aggregate critic ratings and cannot be bought, boosted or hidden. Our editorial picks cannot be bought at any price.
- Your show only appears where it genuinely fits. Promotion that respects what the visitor asked for is discovery. Promotion that ignores it is spam, and we don't sell spam.
Three more things, so nobody has to take our word for it. Every show at the Fringe is on the map free, forever — promotion is an optional extra, never a toll. Changed your mind? 48-hour no-quibble refund on any slot. And each festival we gift a handful of promoted slots to self-funded shows, chosen on merit and labelled as gifted — they cannot be bought. If a slot oversells by accident you get an immediate refund and first refusal on the next opening. Caps never move mid-season.
