FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

ID is not required - just your ticket (see below) - either paper or digitally. All ages are welcome. But given the News and Current Affairs content, it will probably appeal to older high school students and, of course, adults.

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

There are regular local bus services. Parking directly in front of the Glasshouse at the Merchison Campus is limited to 20 or so metered spaces. There is parking on streets nearby however, both across from and directly behind the location. It should not be too problematic.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

I am contactable on my Edinburgh Napier University email address: E.O'Neill@napier.ac.uk

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Yes, please. For simple organisational and security reasons.

Can I update my registration information?

Yes, of course. Just return to the Eventbrite site and re-enter them!
