- Hi-DeF UNBUTTONED!!!! Yes, that's right - for those FRINGE familiar, you know that many festivals sell a 'button' which gives one entrance to the event. The button runs about anywhere from $6 to $10. Then, one decides which shows to see and purchases tickets to EACH of those shows individually. Those tickets run from $7 to $15 per show. Hi-DeF will beUNBUTTONED... Meaning that we are offering an all-access pass for the entire weekend, yeah! Of course other packages will be available if one can't be there all three days. This in turn, will allow one to see as MANY of the performances as one can!! Perhaps even ALL of them. Perhaps all of them Twice!!! OH and the Parties, yeah, they are included with your UNBUTTONED ticket purchase!! NO button and NO single ticket pricing......
