New Online Ticketing System for Trips

We will be switching to an online ticketing system NEXT week for the trip to Culzean Castle. The system will work through www.eventbrite.com where it will be possible, at 6.30 pm on Tues Oct 4th, to register for a ticket with your name and email address.

Once you have successfully done this you will come to the ISC (22b Buccleuch Place) on Wednesday Oct 5th at 6.30 and pay £10 for and collect your official ISC ticket. Just by registering online (for what it says is a free event) does not mean you are guaranteed a ticket. If you do not come on Wed to pay for and collect your ticket it will be released to someone else.

This is the URL by which you can register for your ticket: http://www.eventbrite.com/org/1515025458

You can only register at the above URL for your ticket starting from Tues Oct 4th 6.30pm when the sign-up goes live!
