The Mayor of London has officially confirmed the date that tickets for London's New Year's Eve fireworks display will go on sale. 

Tickets will be sold in two batches and will see people from all over the world head to London to watch the display.

People with tickets to London's fireworks display will unite opposite the London Eye for the fireworks and hear the traditional sounds of Big Ben’s chimes ring in 2025.

Every year, tickets always sell out, which is why it is important to get them as early as you can.

The BBC’s coverage was the most watched TV programme in the UK last year, with many millions more watching on the iPlayer and online. 

If you want to go to London's fireworks, it is essential to buy a ticket to watch the fireworks in person as those without tickets will not be allowed to enter the viewing areas.

Only tickets bought from the authorised outlet Ticketmaster will be accepted.

No official tickets will be sold by any other websites and those bought through any other means will not be valid.

This year some ticket prices have increased to enhance security and crowd management around the event and cover increasing costs seen across the industry. 

Tickets cost between £20 and £50 depending on the viewing area and if they are being bought by someone who lives in London.

Londoners will pay £15 less on each ticket booked than those living outside of the capital – meaning that they can secure tickets for several viewing areas at the same price as last year.

Tickets for London's New Year's Eve fireworks will go on sale at 12pm on Friday, October 18.

There will also be an opportunity to donate to TAP London, a charity dedicated to supporting homeless Londoners.
