How much are the tickets for survivors night going to be, also will they be available on there own or will they be linked with the saturday night tickets like they have been in the past.

Hi Ross

Will confirm ticket price as soon as we know, it is usually £20.

also will they be available on there own or will they be linked with the saturday night tickets like they have been in the past.

The tickets haven't been linked for over five years year now, every concert has been sold separately since 2005.

I will post up more info shortly.

Cheers Iain, will keep an eye out for posts

I read your post May 2009,slightly confused as to the date - espescially the year,
is the events listed for 2008 or 2009?
Thanks.

£25 to see the red hot chilli pipers, they played in Oban three or four weeks ago and the price was £18, can I ask why there is a 40 percent increase in the price to see them in Campbeltown?

It is down to the size of the venue, the Corran Halls have a larger capacity and can charge less to cover all the costs.
