Boris Johnson’s “Pay‑It‑Up” Edinburgh Meetup
Who’s the star of the show?
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is heading back to the UK in a move that’s dashering—yes, missing nothing but the “pants on fire” factor. On 2 September the ex‑leader will take the stage at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall for an event titled “An Evening with Boris Johnson”—and he’s putting a price tag on his time.
The Gig‑Go‑Up Pricing Plan
Attendees can grab a meet‑and‑greet ticket for a whopping £121—that’s just to squeeze a handshake and snap a photo. Then there’s the ticket to hear him preach the “first hour of evidence.” These seats start at £53.90 and climb to a grand £159.90, with the higher price guaranteeing the VIP seats where you can actually get a front‑row view.
- £53.90 – General admission
- £99 – Medium level, decent spot
- £159.90 – VIP, front‑and‑center
And don’t forget the bonus: a question & answer session, because if you think this is all about telling a story, you’re missing the chance to throw your own questions at the ex‑PM.
Wand the Praise
According to the event page, Johnson allegedly led the Conservatives to an “extraordinary election victory”, drove a government that “shattered the political and parliamentary deadlock over Brexit”, and steered the UK through the “darkest days of the pandemic.” The website even hypes up his role as a global champion for Ukraine during Russia’s invasion.
Ready, Set, Question
So if you’re hoping to see the bloke who left the national press in a bit of a frayed state and still finds a way to monetize the world’s most famous handshake, this is your ticket. Just remember: you’re paying for a moment in podium history and a picture of the politician whose hair has survived a thousand campaign challenges.
Swift Sign‑Up
Grab your tickets now, because once those £121 handshake slots get sold out, you might have to argue with the mailman for a spot.
