Star text

Fringe punters to review by SMS

Fringe-goers will be able to lodge their opinion about Edinburgh shows by text this year.

The festival’s official website will be carrying a punters’ star rating for every one of the hundreds of shows on the fringe, compiled from votes received by text.

To register a star rating for a show, punters will text EVOTE, the show code (which is on the ticket stub) and then the number of stars from 1 to 5 to 83010.

Each text will  cost 25p and help swell the Fringe’s coffers.

Fringe Director Paul Gudgin said:“The Fringe is famous for word of mouth that shows pick up and part of the fun is going around and asking people if they've seen any good shows and exchanging tips.

“The idea is to stimulate that grapevine, no matter what the critics are saying."
