More tickets for Stonehaven’s Hogmanay gig by rock legends Simple Minds have gone on sale.
The boost for north-east music fans came after organisers finalised crowd space with Police Scotland and Aberdeenshire Council.
Gig bosses from Open Air in the Square meet regularly with involved authorities to ensure the New Year event goes smoothly.
The last batch of tickets will help event organisers to meet escalating production costs.
Volunteers behind the event are also seeking company sponsorship.
And businesses are invited to take advantage of big-screen advertising that will be on show at the Hogmanay celebrations.
Stonehaven Festival and Events is offering VIP packages that would include tickets, a meal at the Carron Restaurant in Stonehaven, an all-seated covered guest area and refreshments.
The organisers have stressed that no tickets will be available at the gate on the night.
Fans were warned not to turn up without buying their tickets in advance and reminded that all children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
The concert will run in tandem with Stonehaven’s fireballsceremony in the Old Town’s High Street.
