No £5 Late Nights at the EIF

The late night concerts with tickets at £5 which were a feature of the 2004 Edinburgh International Festival will not be held this year in a bid to increase income.

Although in general EIF ticket prices have kept pace with inflation, the cost of events has increased by considerably more and there are fears that the £5 tickets did not attract new audiences but just allowed regular concertgoers to attend more cheaply.

There will, however, still be £5 tickets available for most EIF events under the "turn up and try it" scheme.

A spokesperson said that it was not a case of the £5 Late Nights being axed, as they had only run twice (in 2002 and 2004). "That particular audience development route is not one we will go down next year."
