Over 180 flights connect Edinburgh to the rest of the UK and Europe each day and the Royal Highland Centre is just a 15-minute walk from the airport and neighbouring airport hotels.

The official ticket outlet for this event is Ticketmaster.  No other agents are authorised to sell and any listing on an unauthorised site cannot be guaranteed to gain entry to the event.

All tickets will be mobile tickets.

This event will be using Ticketmaster's SafeTix technology to provide powerful fraud and counterfeit protection.  Your barcode will constantly change and screenshots of barcodes will not work.  You must show the barcode in the Ticketmaster app.  More info on SafeTix can be found here.

Please make sure you check your tickets within the latest version of the Ticketmaster app, and are logged into the app before you arrive at the venue as mobile data reception can be limited - doing this in advance through the app will ensure that you’ll be able to access them at the venue without connectivity.

Information on how mobile tickets work can be found here.  If you’re having issues with downloading your tickets help can be found here.  If you will be arriving at different times to the rest of your party remember you can transfer their tickets from your Ticketmaster account to theirs. A guide on how to do this can be found here.

We strongly recommend that you only purchase tickets through our official ticket partner Ticketmaster.  No other agents are authorised to sell and any listing on an unauthorised site cannot be guaranteed to gain entry to the events. We’ve seen lots of customers be scammed by purchasing tickets through sites such as eBay, Gumtree, Stubhub, Viagogo etc. Unofficial sites do not give you the same rights and protections. Be aware and don’t fall for a scam. These tickets might not even exist and if you turn up with a fake ticket you’ll be turned away from the event so don’t chance it. We recommend you only purchase through our official ticket partners. Our official resale partner is Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan Exchange.

We only permit ticket resale at face value through Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan Exchange. Please do not use ticket sites such as eBay, Gumtree, Stubhub, or Viagogo where tickets may be available at hugely inflated prices. Buying through these websites also runs the risk of being sold tickets that may not actually exist.

We recommend that you purchase tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. Should there be tickets left for sale these can be purchased on the day via Ticketmaster.
With mobile tickets, you can have these delivered to your Ticketmaster app on your phone straight away saving you from having to collect these at the box office.
Please note that our box offices will only be accepting card payments – cash will not be permitted.
