Gothenburg Fringe Festival

The problem

The Gothenburg Fringe Festival spans multiple days, venues, and performances. Attendees struggle to plan their experience, often missing shows they want to see. Organisers also face challenges around scheduling conflicts, show visibility, and streamlining ticketing.

The idea

Design a mobile app that helps users easily plan their festival days, track performances they care about, and stay informed in real time — while giving performers and organisers more exposure and better scheduling tools.

Goals

• For users: create a personalised daily schedule, favourite shows, get nearby alerts, and manage payments easily.
• For the festival: avoid schedule clashes, build audience engagement, and connect with the ticketing platform (Eventotron).

Process

This started as a personal project in 2022 during consultancy work. Initial concepts and designs were shared with Gothenburg Fringe Festival organisers, incorporating their feedback through iterative design. The final design is informed by benchmarking, user flows, and survey insights.

Outcome and future

This app concept addresses a clear need and holds significant potential value for the Gothenburg Fringe Festival. Future steps involve exploring funding opportunities to bring the solution to fruition.
