This year the cost of an individual ticket will vary between £20 and £55 depending on whether the ticket is being purchased for a ‘Category A Viewing Area’ or a ‘Category B Viewing Area’, and whether the ticket purchaser lives in a London postcode.
Those living in a London postcode will receive a discount of £20 on each ticket booked. Postcode verification will take place at the purchase stage of the booking and will be based on the billing address attached to the card used to make the booking. Please note, proof of address may be required on the night too.
All prices include VAT. In addition, a small booking fee will be charged, which goes to the ticketing provider.

Ticketed viewing areas and routes
There are six different ticketed viewing areas – Blue, Red, Pink, Green and White, plus an Orange accessible viewing area.
All viewing areas have a specific numbered gate you should use on the night to enter the viewing area you have booked.
If you’re coming with friends, make sure you book tickets for the same viewing area. You won’t be able to move between areas on the night.
Ticket prices vary by viewing area.
Planning your travel to and from the event
You won’t be allowed to use Westminster Bridge, the Golden Jubilee Footbridge, Lambeth Bridge, Blackfriars Bridge or Waterloo Bridge before or after the event. When buying your ticket, think about how you will travel to your preferred viewing area on the night.
You'll see details of each viewing area’s specific numbered gate you should use on the night. These are the only entrances you can use. Stations will be very busy when the event ends. Choose the side of the river you want to be on afterwards to get home more easily.
Remember, central London will be very busy on New Year’s Eve. There will be many changes in how the city and transport runs on the night. Do plan your night and allow plenty of time to get in.
