I have won tickets, I’m taking my baby who will be 2 months does he need a ticket?
Yes. Everyone needs a ticket.
I won tickets and I confirmed with ticket master etc and yet I haven’t received them yet ? Is there a timescale ? And who is switching them on?
You should contact ticketmaster. We have nothing to do with ticket issuing so I have no idea what the timescale is. Sorry.
How much are the tickets, is there any left?
There was a ballot for tickets. It closed a few weeks ago.
I’ve not received a email confirming if I’ve got ticket or not. Was wondering if us can tell me or not. Thanks
Ticketmaster are the company dealing with the ballot. If there’s nothing in your spam folder or anywhere else you should contact them or the Glasgow Loves Christmas folks who are the organisers.
Does my 2 year old need a ticket? Or can me and him come along with just one ticket?
Everyone needs a ticket!
Hiya Iv been wondering for a while now who is turning the lights on my family and I have recently won tickets and a couple of people have been telling me that Nicholas McDonald is turning them on but it’s just startting to bug me now
Thanks
I don’t get it. Is it not an out door event. Does it mean, I should not come to the event without ticket
Thanks
Yes. This is a ticketed event. The streets around George Square will be closed.
After several years of applying ,unsuccessfully,for tickets we received them on Monday. We live in Ayrshire so know how lucky we are to be among the 20% The children are thrilled to bits !
I’d be delighted to learn how many tickets were released in total.
Thanks again
From the privileged few.
