How to book

• Tickets are only sold through Ticketmaster. Tickets sold anywhere else are not valid.
• You can buy up to four tickets. Another adult in your group can buy up to four more.
• Everyone needs a ticket, including children. Under-16s must be with an adult, and organisers say the event is not suitable for young children.
• You cannot move between areas on the night, so friends must book the same colour zone.
• There are no refunds. If you can’t go, you can resell at face value through Ticketmaster’s Fan-to-Fan Resale, or transfer the ticket to someone else’s name.

Can I watch without a ticket?

Central London streets around the river are closed and very busy on the night, and you cannot reach the riverside viewing areas without a ticket. If you don’t get one, the fireworks are shown live on BBC One, and you can see them from a distance at viewpoints such as Primrose Hill and Parliament Hill.
