The Transport for Edinburgh Student Ridacard offers unlimited travel on both tram and bus, and at only £48 a month is great value and convenient for those on a budget. If you’re only planning to take the tram then a return ticket can be yours for only £3.20.
We have a pre-purchase policy, so all tickets and smartcards have to be purchased, validated or activated before you board the tram. If you're using Tap On, Tap Off, you must have tapped your card or device against the Platform Validator before boarding the tram. We offer various ways to travel to suit all needs.
If you need to jump on-and-off you might want to consider a City Day ticket or one of our multi-day tram tickets.
If you have a Scottish National Entitlement Card (also known as a Saltire card) issued by the City of Edinburgh Council, you are entitled to free travel on the tram. The same applies to cards from any local authority indicating visual impairment. However cards issued by other local authorities are not valid on the tram.
Child tickets are available for customers aged 5-15 inclusive. Up to three infants travel free of charge per fare paying customer.
The West Fan Village opens at 4.30pm, with general turnstiles open at 5.30pm. Kick-off is 7.30pm.
Some students are entitled to a discounted Ridacard (see here for conditions) but otherwise there are no students rates available.
City Day, City Late and Family City Day tickets can be used on Edinburgh Trams, between Newhaven and Ingliston Park & Ride only, as well as Lothian Buses day services. A Network Day ticket is valid for travel to or from Edinburgh Airport.
