Meet and Greet for Nobel winners in Edinburgh

Your chance of asking a question to Irish poet Seamus Heaney or British playwright Harold Pinter is getting less and less. Tickets for the readings by both Nobel Prize winners at this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival are getting scarce. However, it might not be a huge miss if Heaney insists on banging on about the Scotch-Irish and how there is a line drawn between Ireland and Britain and all those above it are us and everybody below is them. Pinter on the other hand could go into stories about touring plays in Ireland with McMasters all those years ago.

Either way I would like to go so if anyone has an idea on how to get a ticket please leave a comment.
