Big price rise for this year’s London NYE fireworks
Tickets for the New Year’s Eve fireworks by the London Eye go on sale next Friday, but there has been another price hike, with some tickets costing as much as £50.

Last year, ticket prices rose to £20, but this year, there will be a London resident’s price and a higher price for people who don’t live in London. And also a higher price for the better viewing areas.
On the night, there will be the usual six viewing areas – Blue, Red, Pink, Green, White and the Orange (Accessible Viewing Area), and prices will vary depending which area you are in. Also, this year, they’re introducing different prices depending on whether you live in London or outside London.

At the moment, they’re not detailing what defines a “Londoner” for the pricing, but they are likely to be residents within the Greater London postcode. Also, it is not clear yet if a Londoner can buy tickets at Londoner rates and then gift them to their non-Londoner friends without paying a top-up fee.
The website says the terms and conditions will be clarified when the tickets go on sale – via Ticketmaster.

I bought a ticket in pink area, when the fireworks shows up, those security guards literally stand in front of the audience, blocking the show. I can’t accept that did I paid 50 quid for increase security or audience in the first row, what the hell is that? Their heads are all in my video( at least 3 security)
