Hi all (first post here!)
I've just won 2 tickets to the Edinburgh concert at Murrayfield, on the 6th july...though I can't make it now.
I'm trying to find somewhere locally for Scotland so that I can arrange for the tickets to go to someone else (I live in South UK y'see) Does anyone know of a website or contact for a local newspaper up there that might be able to send them on? Or if anybody is after them please e-mail me
Cheers!
