How many of these would you like to have available through the Fringe Box Office?

It is usual practice for the Fringe Society to be allocated half of the number of wheelchair spaces so we have these available for customers using our access booking services.

Please let us know how many seats need to be removed, if any, to create a wheelchair space, so we can ensure that we do not oversell our total allocation of seats for a performance.
