A couple attending the Hogmanay Street Party in Edinburgh have branded the event a “health and safety nightmare.”
The pair, who wish to remain anonymous, claim that their tickets were not checked and that large groups of people without tickets were able to get into the event due to the disorganisation of staff on the ground.
They said that they attempted to have their ticket checked but that staff seemed uninterested in making sure that those who had paid for the event were gaining access and those that had not were denied.
