The events will kick start Leeds 2023, which stems from the city\u2019s application to be European Capital of Culture. Following the UK being dropped from the scheme because of Brexit, Leeds decided to go ahead and hold its own cultural events programme anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Other projects include a mobile observatory that will tour Leeds, and organisers hope that next year\u2019s Eurovision will be one of the highlights after the city made the shortlist to host the song contest.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- \n\n<div class=\"tax-cat-tags\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 tax-cat\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"\">Filed under<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"btn\" >Awards<\/button>|<button class=\"btn\" >Ticketing<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 tax-tags\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"\">Tags<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"btn\" >Ticketing<\/button>|<button class=\"btn\" >Stadiums<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theticketingbusiness.com\/2022\/09\/23\/creativity-is-just-the-ticket\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The opening ceremony to celebrate Leeds\u2019 year of culture in 2023 has an interesting way of securing a ticket, while promoting creativity.\u00a0 The stadium concert will be free but only those who submit an artistic creation of any kind with their ticket application will be able to attend. \u201cOne unmissable show.
