Mayor’s warning over fake tickets
Last year, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, issued a warning to revellers about counterfeit tickets.
Only those sold through the event’s official seller will be valid. You can sign up for alerts by clicking here.
In 2023, fake tickets caused significant disruption to the New Year’s Eve event, which is attended by thousands of people annually.
As a result, there was a heavy police presence at the event in London last year, and police stewards monitored crowds.
You cannot attend the fireworks without a ticket, and those without one will not be allowed to enter the viewing areas.
It’s also worth noting that there are restrictions on how many tickets you can buy per person. This is often limited to four per person.
