In addition to the venues themselves, tickets can also be exchanged for wristbands at Underground Nation, 46 Candlemaker Row before 6.00PM on Friday and Saturday.
Note: wristbands will not be available on the door of the after show event at Nicol Edwards on Friday.

STALLS AND MERCHANDISE
Many of the bands will be providing a range of merchandise at the event. In addition, we'll also have exclusive limited edition Dark City 2007 t-shirts available, priced at £15.
Owing to the change of venue we can no longer accomodate additional stalls at this year's event. We hope this will not unduly impact upon your enjoyment of the event. Don't forget an extensive range of alternative clothing and music is available during the day (except Sunday) at Underground Nation.
CLUBS
Clubs will run on each night after the last bands until 3.00AM, featuring a variety of guest DJs.
TRANSPORT
Edinburgh has excellent road, air and rail links to both the rest of UK and mainland Europe. Luckily, the city is relatively compact and most locations are a comfortable walking distance from the City Centre. For destinations further afield, the city has an extensive bus network which runs 24 hours a day (provided by Lothian Buses and FirstBus) and a fleet of black-cab taxis. Private hire cabs are also available should you desire.
By Air
Edinburgh Airport is located a few miles out of town to the East of the City. A frequent bus service provided by Airlink connects the Airport with the City Centre. Taxis are also readily available outside the terminal building.
