LONDON FIREWORKS TICKETS
New Year Celebrations Ticketed for First Time
Ring in the New Year in London. But reserve a seat for the fireworks. Beginning in 2014, for the first time, the massively popular and internationally acclaimed New Year’s Eve fireworks celebrations along the Thames River, organized by the Mayor of London, will require a ticket for seating. At least the best seating. One Hundred Thousand tickets will be available to the public to guarantee good views of the glorious pyrotechnic display and a more orderly visitor experience. New Year’s revelers from anywhere around the UK or visitors from abroad in the city for the celebrations, can book up to four tickets starting from Friday September 26 at 12 noon (GMT London time), by going to the government London website, London New Years Eve. The ticket price fee is $16.25 which will be used by the city to pay for administration costs and ensuring the event is safe.
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: “London's New Year's Eve fireworks are phenomenally popular, not just in the capital, but across the world and we want to ensure it continues to be a safe, enjoyable and sustainable event for the long-term.” The intent for introducing ticketing is to help the city manage crowd size and create a better experience on the night. For anyone without a ticket, or incase you object to a new fee for what was previously free, the fireworks will be shown live on television, you can watch it in glorious HD at a hotel or spend the ticket price on a pint or two at a pub, restaurant or club.
Many London establishments and gastro pubs will be staying open past midnight and top comedy clubs and West End theatres will be putting on great performances. London is also one of the clubbing capitals of Europe and there will be a whole host of specially organized club nights in unique locations around the city with top DJs. London is a special place at the change of the year, with the historic the city lit up. If you can’t get a ticket to attend the fireworks in person there are many other amazing events and experiences to take in. But plan ahead and book in advance. © Bargain Travel Europe
