When two of the biggest teams in European football face off in Edinburgh next week, fans can save a few pounds by taking advantage of some great tram ticket offers.
The pre-season clash between Manchester United and Olympique Lyonnais at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium will give thousands of people a chance to see some of the world’s best players in action, and anyone heading for the game can purchase tram return tickets in advance for adults and children from edinburghticket.com.
The ‘Murrayfield Event Return’ tickets can be downloaded onto a smart device or printed out to show the operator’s friendly team and further details about other value-for-money options, including the ‘Family Day Tripper’ ticket, can be found here.
Sarah Singh, Edinburgh Trams’ Head of Service Delivery, commented:
As well as offering a fantastic travel deal for the day, we’re also planning to boost our service frequency before and after the game so that fans can make the most of what’s sure to be one of the highlights of the summer tests.
For added convenience, those travelling from beyond Edinburgh can avoid the inevitable congestion around the ground, and the hassle of finding a parking spot in the city centre, by leaving their cars at Ingliston Park & Ride. The facility offers over 1,000 free parking spaces available and has its own tram stop.
On Wednesday, July 19, Manchester United will be looking to remain unbeaten against the French side following an end-to-end affair at Old Trafford in 2008, and further details on how to purchase match tickets can be found here.
