Opening ceremony is just the ticket
Published: Tuesday 5th July 2011
They are the hottest tickets in town - they're free and they are available now from both North and South Lanarkshire Councils' box offices.
But you'll have to hurry as there are only 2000 tickets available to attend the opening ceremony of Lanarkshire's International Children's Games on Thursday 4 August.
The tickets are being offered on a first come, first served basis, free of charge. A maximum of two tickets will be allocated per person.
A total of eight and a half thousand people are expected to attend the opening ceremony at Motherwell FC's Firpark Stadium.
The remainder of the tickets are being made available to competitors and their families, dancers and their families, sponsors, coaches, organising bodies, and youth organisations.
The ceremony kicks off at 6.30pm and promises to be a spectacular affair. It includes a mass cast of 400 primary school children, 100 Highland dancers and 60 street dancers taking part.
