Cheap tickets for Edinburgh residents

Edinburgh Fringe venue Gilded Balloon has launched its Postcode Pals scheme for a second year, offering local residents discounted festival tickets.

More than 125 shows will offer £6 tickets for residents across Edinburgh and the Lothians, Fife and Falkirk (EH, KY and FK postcodes.) bought between now at 6pm on Tuesday July 29 for residents in EH, KY and FK postcodes. 

The offer is valid for selected shows over the first five days of the festival  including Caroline Rhea, Jack Docherty in The Chief, Rosie O’Donnell and Chortle’s new family-friend Fast Fringe showcase, among dozens more.

Katy and Karen Koren, artistic directors of Gilded Balloon, said in a statement: ‘We’re excited to launch a second year of Postcode Pals and release thousands of discounted tickets for some of our very best shows to ensure local residents don’t miss out on Fringe fun.  With the world’s largest arts festival on our doorstep, it’s important as locals that we embrace it and we hope Postcode Pals helps local residents to get involved.
