About
Football in Edinburgh
Edinburgh — Scotland's capital with around 530,000 residents, built on a series of volcanic ridges between the Firth of Forth and the Pentland Hills — sustains a year-round events calendar that few European cities can match. Two Scottish Premiership clubs split the city: Heart of Midlothian (founded 1874) play at Tynecastle Park (capacity around 19,800) in the Gorgie district to the west, while Hibernian (founded 1875) play at Easter Road (around 20,400) in the Leith district to the north-east. The Edinburgh Derby is one of the oldest in world football and contested up to four times per league season. The 67,144-capacity Murrayfield Stadium in the western suburbs hosts Scotland's rugby internationals — including Six Nations, Autumn Nations Series and the British and Irish Lions — plus headline summer concerts. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe each August is the largest performing-arts event on earth, drawing more than three million ticketed admissions across hundreds of venues, with the Edinburgh International, Book and Film festivals running alongside. The city's compact centre is served by Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket stations, with the tram line running directly from Edinburgh Airport to Princes Street.
Edinburgh — Scotland's capital with a population of around 510,000 — is home to two top-flight clubs from the Scottish Premiership: Heart of Midlothian (Hearts, founded 1874) and Hibernian (Hibs, founded 1875). The Edinburgh derby is one of the oldest derbies in world football, first contested in 1875, and is consistently ranked alongside the Old Firm in the calendar of Scottish football despite the higher trophy count of Celtic and Rangers in Glasgow.
Hearts play at Tynecastle Park in the Gorgie district — capacity 19,852, one of the smaller top-flight grounds but one of the loudest because of its tight, four-stand layout right against the pitch. Hibs play at Easter Road in the Leith Walk district — capacity 20,421, with the famous Famous Five Stand named for the legendary 1950s forward line. Both grounds are walkable from central Edinburgh; Tynecastle is around 25 minutes west, Easter Road is 20 minutes north-east.
Beyond football, Edinburgh hosts Scotland's national rugby team at Murrayfield Stadium in the western suburbs — capacity 67,144, the largest stadium in Scotland and home to all Scotland Six Nations and autumn international fixtures. Edinburgh is also Scotland's festival capital: the Edinburgh Fringe (the world's largest arts festival, every August across more than 300 venues), the Edinburgh International Festival, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at the Castle Esplanade, and the Edinburgh International Film Festival all run across the August festival month.
Hogmanay — the city-wide New Year celebration with the Princes Street Gardens concert and the Royal Mile street party — is one of the largest organised New Year events in the world, regularly drawing 75,000 ticketed attendees across the three-day programme. The Six Nations weekends at Murrayfield (February-March) and the August festival month are the two biggest visitor windows on the Edinburgh calendar.
FAQ
Edinburgh football tickets — FAQ
What tickets can I buy for events in Edinburgh?
Anyseats lists tickets for events in Edinburgh — football fixtures, concerts and tours, Formula 1, tennis, basketball, theatre and festivals. Listings come from verified sellers.
Which venues host events in Edinburgh?
Anyseats lists every event venue in Edinburgh on its dedicated city hub — clubs, arenas, race circuits and concert venues.
Can I get last-minute tickets for Edinburgh events?
Most Edinburgh events stay live on Anyseats until doors open. Mobile-entry tickets usually arrive 24-72 hours before the event, and every order is guaranteed to arrive before it starts.
Are Edinburgh tickets on Anyseats authentic?
Listings come from verified sellers. The 200% Buyer Guarantee covers ticket non-delivery and ticket-related denied entry that cannot be resolved in time. We first try to provide comparable or better replacements. When that is not possible, you get 100% refunded, plus 100% back in credit. Events cancelled by the organiser without a replacement date are refunded in full instead.
How do I find concert and music tickets in Edinburgh?
Browse the music section for artists and concerts, then check the event's venue and date to confirm it is in Edinburgh. Open an event to compare available ticket options. An artist may play several cities or several nights at the same venue, so check the specific performance before booking.
Do ticket prices for Edinburgh events include fees?
The price you see is the price you pay. Our fee is already included in every price on the site, so nothing is added at checkout.
When will my Edinburgh event tickets arrive?
Tickets usually arrive 24-72 hours before the event and are guaranteed before it begins. Some issuers release tickets closer to the start time.
What happens if an event in Edinburgh is postponed or cancelled?
If an event is postponed or rescheduled, your ticket stays valid for the new date. If an event is cancelled outright with no replacement date, you're refunded in full for the tickets and any mandatory order fees, to your original payment method - automatically. A cancellation by the organiser is outside our control, so it is covered by that full refund rather than by the 200% Buyer Guarantee.
Can I book several events during a trip to Edinburgh?
Yes. Compare the event dates and venues before booking each event separately. Leave time for travel, entry queues and any delays between venues. Football dates and kick-off times can change, so check whether the schedule is confirmed before arranging your trip.
Can children attend events in Edinburgh?
Age limits and entry rules depend on the event, venue and ticket category. Check the event information and the venue's rules before booking, including whether each child needs a ticket, whether an adult must accompany them and whether standing areas have a minimum age.
How do I choose seats for an event in Edinburgh?
Open the event page and compare the available sections and listing notes. Check the view, seated or standing entry, any restrictions and the number of tickets offered together. For football, also check whether the listing is for home, away or neutral seating.
How do I check accessibility for a Edinburgh venue?
Check the venue's accessibility information for step-free routes, wheelchair spaces and companion-ticket arrangements. Confirm that the specific ticket category meets your requirements before booking; a standard seated ticket does not necessarily provide access to a wheelchair space.
