Q: How do I verify my 'Next Gen' ticket?

Please bring your Young Scot Card , European Youth Card , or a valid photo ID showing you are under 26. We may ask to see this at the door to ensure our discounts are reaching the right people.

Question 1

Accessibility

Accepted Answer

The venue is a working theatre and part of the University of Edinburgh Student Union. It meets basic accessibility requirements. An access guide with reviews is available on Euan's Guide.

Some access needs are personal and specific, and we want to make sure everyone can access our events regardless of their needs or abilities. Please email admin@makehopepossible.org if you feel we should know about your requirements so that we can do our best to accommodate you on the day.

Question 2

Why Book Direct?

Accepted Answer

We use Eventbrite to help new audiences find us, but they charge significant service fees. When you book here on Make Hope Possible, we avoid those costs, allowing us to invest more in future events.

Question 3

Do I need a printer?

Accepted Answer

No. To save paper and hassle, we operate a digital-only check-in. Just show your confirmation email on your smartphone at the door. We also have a master guest list, so as long as you have photo ID, we can find you.

Question 4

What is the 'Solidarity' ticket?

Accepted Answer

This is a voluntary higher-tier price for those who can afford it. By choosing this, you directly subsidise the Next Gen (£10) tickets, helping us to make our events more accessible to the next generation of radical thinkers.

Question 5

How do I verify my 'Next Gen' ticket?

Will there be a book signing?

Accepted Answer

Yes! George Monbiot will be available to sign copies of his book, The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came to Control Your Life) immediately following the Q&A. Books will be available for purchase at the venue (contactless payment preferred)

Question 7

Can I get a refund if I can't make it?

Accepted Answer

Tickets are non-refundable to ensure we can cover the costs of our speakers and venues. However, you are welcome to pass your ticket to a friend, just ensure they have the original confirmation email.

Question 8

What happens if the event is cancelled or re-scheduled?

Accepted Answer

If the event can't go ahead due to circumstances outwith our control we will endeavour to move to an alternative venue or reschedule.

If we change the date, or move the location, your ticket will remain valid for the new date. If you cannot attend the new date, you are entitled to a full refund of the face value.

If an event is cancelled in its entirety you are entitled to a full refund of the face value. We will contact you (via the email you have provided at checkout) within 14 days of cancellation.
