The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has announced that the last remaining tickets for London’s world-renowned New Year’s Eve fireworks celebrations will go on sale at noon on Friday 20 November.
Set along the banks of the River Thames, the event is one of the biggest nights of the year as around 100,000 ticketholders unite for a spectacular display of fireworks, lights and music.
The show will start with the traditional Big Ben bongs and celebrate the key moments of 2026, as well as look forward to the year ahead through thousands of fireworks, hundreds of lights and an amazing soundtrack.
Many millions around the world tune in each year on TV and online, making the annual display an incredible advert for our capital, culture and tourism industry. Last year’s event alone generated an estimated £12.5 million in direct economic impact within London.
This will be the final chance for Londoners and visitors to secure their place at the spectacular, with tickets only available through official ticket partner Ticketmaster. It is essential to buy a ticket to watch the fireworks in person and demand is always extremely high. That’s why the Mayor is urging anyone interested to buy their tickets as soon as possible.
Once again, ticket prices for Londoners remain at £20 and £35 depending on the viewing area. Tickets for people who live outside the capital will be £40 and £55.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I’m proud that London’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks display gets better every year. It truly is an unforgettable experience and provides an incredible advert for our capital and a huge boost for our hospitality and tourism industries. Demand for tickets is always high and this will be the very last chance to secure your place on the banks of the River Thames for the big night. I urge anyone wanting to attend to buy your ticket as soon as possible so you don’t miss out on experiencing the best New Year’s Eve fireworks show in the world.”
Laura Citron OBE, CEO of Visit London, commented: “London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display is one of the most important moments in our city’s cultural calendar, but it also provides an annual economic boost to our hospitality and tourism sectors.We encourage the lucky ticketholders to soak in some of the winter magic the city has to offer. Whether they are travelling to London on holiday for the first time and want to see the festive sights, or are Londoners looking to enjoy a local meal out beforehand, there is so much to see and do, both across our city’s neighbourhoods and close to the iconic South Bank where the show takes place
We hope ticketholders are able to make the most of the city’s world-class cultural offer, before seeing London dazzle as the backdrop for the world’s most beloved fireworks show.”
Robin Goodhild, Senior General Manager, The London Eye: “The London Eye is the perfect place to celebrate our incredible city and welcome in the new year with the capital’s world-renowned fireworks display. We are proud to be at the heart of this spectacular celebration and look forward to welcoming visitors from across London, the UK and around the world to mark the start of 2027.”
