Edinburgh Prepares for New Improved Hogmany - with Cut Price Tickets!

New Year's Eve 2009 may seem like a long way away, but, when you turn it into a four day street party, attended by hundreds of thousands of visitors and locals, it is never too soon to start planning.

This year's Edinburgh Hogmany - which claims to be the best New Year's celebration in the world - will be bigger and better than ever. Street Party organizers have extened performances on all the live stages by an hour - to 1 a.m., there will be more fireworks and new audio visual technology (they're not saying exactly what yet) to see in 2009 with an even bigger bang.

But you do need a ticket. And for a limited time only - starting today - street party tickets are available for half price - £5 - on line, or by telephoning the box office on +44 (0)844 481 2009. They like their mysteries up north and they're allso not saying when the promotion ends but - when it does - the tickets are still great value at £10.
