Fringe helps ticket software firm Red61 hit £1m
The Edinburgh-based firm, which also provides ticketing services for arts and cultural festivals in Canada and South Africa, is now looking to open an office in Australia.
Last week, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society announced that almost 2.3 million tickets had been sold this year, an increase of 5.2 per cent on 2014.

Fringe Society chief executive Kath Mainland added: “Red61 has been our ticketing service provider for almost seven years now and I truly believe that during that time we have developed more of a partnership than a business arrangement.”
