Although many of the Liverpool 08 public art events will be free, tickets to big concerts, are being sold through a public ballot.
Major concerts include Paul McCartney's return to his native city, headlining a huge event at Anfield Stadium, home of Liverpool United football club; a terrific opening show, headlined by fellow ex-Beatle Ringo Starr and Eurythmic's Dave Stewart, at the brand new Liverpool Arena, and the long-overdue return to Liverpool of one of its favourite sons, Simon Rattle, who returns to conduct a concert in the hall where he began his stellar music career.
Due to the national strike of Royal Mail postal workers, the Liverpool Culture Company has extended the deadline to register for the Liverpool 08 ticket ballot to Sunday, October 14, 2007. Registration forms can be collected at a number of locations in the city and
online.
