Are there still tickets?

If you are hoping to get last minute tickets to see The Stranglers in Scotland then you best move fast as there are a very, very limited number remaining.

For tonight’s show at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange you can find the few available tickets on Ticketmaster, for between £46 and £56.

Although The Stranglers’ Aberdeen gig is listed as sold out, on Ticketmaster there are a couple of tickets still available for purchase.

If these are all gone, then you can try a third part reseller - at your own risk. Tickets from these sites always carry the chance of being fake, as well as rejected on the door of each event due to ticket policies.
