75,000 people from across Scotland and the UK snapped up tickets for the inaugural GlasGLOW sound and light event which took place in the Botanic Gardens last month and organisers at itison have just announced that the event will return in 2019 with a brand-new show.
GlasGLOW 2 is set to run over the 25th – 31st October 2019 and will once again transform the Botanic Gardens into a magical world of “sound, light and fantasy”.
A limited number of tickets for GlasGLOW 2 went on sale this morning at glasglow.com at special early bird prices and after tickets for the first event sold out in record time, organisers are advising people to set their alarm clocks and get in early to avoid missing out on the early bird offer.
Founder of GlasGLOW and CEO of itison, Oli Norman said: “We were overwhelmed by the demand for the first ever GlasGLOW and we’re even more excited for year two. Like The Godfather II, The Dark Knight and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York – the sequel is going to be even better than the original with a bigger budget, even more awesome special effects and loads of amazing things to see and do.
“We’ve had loads of brilliant feedback from folk who loved the event – and lots of feedback of things we can do better too – we’re taking it all on board and super sizing GlasGLOW 2 to make it an even richer and more enjoyable experience for everyone.
“As a city we need more big sustainable annual events that have the ability to drive the local economy and what was really cool in year one was that over 25,000 people travelled from outside of Glasgow to come to the event – some from as far as Scandinavia – driving loads of footfall and revenue into local bars, restaurants, shops and hotels at what’s typically a quieter time of the year before the Christmas rush kicks in.
“We’re also creating a community fund on the back of year one that will allow us to fund some really cool major free events that everyone can come and enjoy.”
