Scams for New Year’s Eve fireworks should be avoided, City Hall warns
Following a “wonderful weekend” of Bonfire Night fireworks across London, City Hall is warning those wanting to attend the New Year’s Eve fireworks to avoid scams and only buy through an official ticket partner. Limited tickets for the “world-renowned” event are available at Ticketmaster and there will be a final release of official tickets later this month.
In recent years however, there has been an increase in scams involving fake tickets being sold online with people being “incredibly disappointed as they are turned away on the night.” City Hall warns that “rogue websites” are “once again promising tickets for this year’s event at over-inflated prices. Only tickets from the authorised outlet Ticketmaster will be accepted and anyone who bought tickets elsewhere will not be admitted, City Hall is warning.
London’s famous firework display expects around 100,000 Londoners and visitors to come together on the banks of the River Thames to welcome in the new year. “The eyes of the world will be watching as thousands of fireworks and hundreds of lights help to illuminate the night sky around the London Eye, all set to a wide-ranging soundtrack that celebrates 2025 and looks ahead to 2026.”
The annual event is also watched by millions worldwide and is an “incredible global advert for our capital and tourism industry.” Ticketholders alone generate over £14 million of additional revenue for the capital’s businesses and economy.
Prices for this year’s event for Londoners will be £20 and £35 depending on the viewing area, while tickets for those who live outside the capital will be £40 and £55. There will also be a chance to donate to TAP London, a charity that supports those experiencing homelessness in the capital.
