Tickets for the UK’s biggest firework show on sale TODAY
IT might seem too early to think about the New Year, but if you want to ring in 2027 with style, you’ll need to act fast.
Tickets for the spectacular London firework display go on sale today – and they’re bound to sell out quickly.
Tickets for the show will be released in two batches with the first on sale midday today.
Tickets are priced between £20 to £55 (excluding the booking fee) and one person can buy up to four tickets.
The price of tickets depends on the viewing area which is split into different categories.
The category A viewing area includes places like Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge – these tickets are priced at £55.
Meanwhile, Category B is priced at £40, with spots like behind the London Eye and the stretch of Victoria Embankment from Golden Jubilee Footbridge to Temple Avenue.
It also includes accessible areas which is on Albert Embankment.
Anyone who has a London postcode is in luck as locals get a £20 discount.
Last year around 100,000 ticketholders attended the event and around 10million people watched on TV.
If you miss out on the first batch of tickets, a second lot will be released later on.
However a date for this hasn’t been announced yet.

What’s it like to go to London’s NYE fireworks?
Travel Reporter Cyann Fielding reveals that the evening has in store…
“Key advice? Be prepared.
“Get your group chat organised now – you can buy up to four tickets each, so if you want more you’ll need a few people online.
“And whatever you do, do not refresh the page – you will lose your place in the queue.
“The NYE fireworks for 2023 were my first and I can’t deny I was impressed.
“There were also no queues and no crowds once in the zone, allowing us to secure a great spot to watch the breathtaking 12-minute display.
“If going, definitely opt for one of the Category A zones – these have the best views of the fireworks, whereas the Category B zones are often interrupted by skyscrapers.
“Make sure you do head there for 8pm as it isn’t the only New Year’s event on, which means the tube is often packed.
“And bear in mind, the station closest to your gate may be closed to manage the flows of people better.
“As for what to wear, you will get warm but do make sure you have layers as the breeze from the river is chilling.
“Don’t worry about taking a chair – you’ll dance as you wait.
“To save some money though, do take some tinnys – small cocktail cans are great as they don’t weigh much or take up too much room in a bag.
“If you get hungry, there are plenty of food stalls around.”
