However, ticket costs are rising this year, to £20 per person.
When the charge was introduced in 2014, it was set at just £10 and was unchanged until 2019. After the pandemic, the price rose to £15 in 2021 and 2022. Now it’s £20 per person.
When tickets go on sale next Friday (3rd Nov), you can buy up to four tickets, and the named buyer of the tickets may be asked to provide ID on the night to show that the tickets haven’t been resold.
There are six viewing areas – Blue, Red, Pink, Green, White and the Orange (Accessible Viewing Area). If you’re coming with friends, be sure to book the same viewing area, as you can’t move between them.
BLUE AREA tickets cover the stretch of Victoria Embankment from Westminster Bridge to Golden Jubilee Footbridge. This can only be accessed from the north side of the River Thames. This is a head on view directly opposite the London Eye.

I feel like that should have a residents rate of £10 via your local council or something easy to verify your address at least if they are going make them cost this much…
Is there a residents rate for any display organised by your local council?
There are very few free displays these days. And many areas don’t have a display full stop.
