› Customer Experience Assistant (Box Office)

Applications close: 2025-11-21

Customer Experience Assistants are the public face of Adelaide Fringe, based at our flagship box office location in the east end, and also providing box office and front of house support at venues and activations across the city. You’ll help audiences purchase tickets, get answers, and navigate the festival with confidence. Whether it’s a packed night at Fringe Corner or you’re scanning tickets at a quiet session in a small venue, you’ll help keep things running smoothly with a calm, friendly approach.

In this role, you’ll use Red61, Adelaide Fringe’s ticketing system, to handle sales, exchanges and refunds. You’ll also manage merchandise and materials, maintain your box office space, and help resolve issues on the spot with the support of your Supervisors and Coordinators. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being in the action, solving problems quickly, and making the festival a great experience for anyone who wants to be part of it.
