VOLUNTEER POSITIONS

Audience staff
As an audience guide, you are the business card of the festival. You are the first point of contact for the festival audience. You control the entrance tickets and ensure a good flow of visitors.

Then you are probably our audience attendant!

• You know your way around a smartphone and have one available.

Cashier & information desk Besides selling tickets for the shows, in this position you are responsible for providing information and good tips about the shows.

You will help with the construction and dismantling of the festival, putting up signs so that everyone knows about the Delft Fringe Festival, and at which locations there are performances. When everything is set up and the festival has started, you'll be the production assistant: you'll bring flyers or benches from a to b, locations need to be converted and so on.
