DEMAND for tickets for next year's Edinburgh Military Tattoo swamped the website on the first day they went on sale.
Frustrated customers found a message saying: "Sorry but all available online booking channels are engaged due to the exceptional demand for Tattoo tickets. Please try again."

Tickets for the 2007 event sold out in January - seven months before the first show.

Just looked at the Website.

Tickets are £75 - £175.

Absolute pish. go to thye gardens for the mini Tattoo every thursday during the tattoo and see it for over an hour for free.

Much better, you are right next to the performers and you can speak with them all before and after.

Edinburghs sh!te, it's a huge tourist rip off.

If the website can't keep up with sales then stop selling to the cowboys who purchase the tickets then stick them on ebay for an over-inflated price. The Tattoo and the whole festivities should be scrapped! We simply can't afford this nonsense anymore. They should just repeat the one from last year on the bbc, and make us think we were there, like those bill oddie documentaries on wildlife. That way there's no mess to clean up, no bottles over the back of the head, no shivering in the cold and rain, and no listening to bands that play here to promote their latest album. No loud explosions through the night frightening the dog or causing damage to our historic properties. And that way next year the Council won't have to doctor the books, or cut services to pay for all this joyfullness. Oh, pass me the buckie. I've got a headache!
