More New Year's Eve firework tickets go on sale

London, UKLocal News

London released its final batch of tickets for the New Year's Eve firework display on Monday, with prices reflecting enhanced security measures. Non-residents will pay £40 to £55, while local residents pay between £20 and £35. This price increase is in compliance with Martyn's Law, established after the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, requiring venues with over 200 capacity to implement security plans. The firework display will feature six ticketed viewing areas, including an accessible section. City Hall has stated that only tickets purchased through Ticketmaster will be valid for entry.

The mayor's office aims to improve safety and crowd management during the event. This initiative underscores the importance of public safety in large gatherings. The changes may influence attendance patterns as residents and visitors adjust to the new pricing structure.
