London displays its fireworks every year with a dazzling and vibrant display which outshines the city. Enhancing the spectacle of the fireworks is the River Thames, reflecting the vibrant colours like a mirror, while the stunning London Eye adds to the breathtaking scene. These fireworks happen after midnight.
The expected cost of London’s 2024 New Year’s Eve fireworks show was a whopping £3 million indicating the interest people show in fireworks now.
The event was ticketed to help defray some of these expenses. The cost of the tickets ranged from £20 to £50, depending on the viewing location and whether the buyer lived in London. With tickets at the lower end of the pricing range, the people residing in London gained a good advantage as well.
The tickets were sold at this price for one and only reason, that was to ensure complete security of the people in London to enjoy the event without any issues or hindrance.
The tickets were sold out in advance soon after they were shown on the website for selling purposes. This shows the enthusiasm of the people in London.
The price range varied for different individuals and the type of tickets they wanted to purchase. For example, some people tend to buy VIP seats while others buy regular seats. Children are usually charged half the amount while elders are charged full.
The cost was great. Here’s a breakdown.
The display included lights, fireworks, setup food stalls as well as the security and marketing which also includes hiring staff for the people.
Tickets were sold out in advance and in total, 106,696 tickets were sold, which is A LOT since people from all over the world joined! These tickets are generally sold out on the basis of first-come first-serve basis ensuring equality.
The cost of one regular ticket was about £35 for people who lived in London and £50 for people who weren’t from London.
For VIP tickets, the cost per ticket for people not residing in London was £35 and for the people living in London, one ticket per person costed around £20.
Why the difference in price? Here’s why:
A vip ticket offers you to watch the display from the front, at the ideal location and you won’t have to face the huge crowd, it also includes protocol and a beautiful, magical view of fireworks as well whereas a regular ticket does not give you a surety of an ideal location, you would have to arrive early as well where as the people not living in London also pay an extra sum of money to watch the fireworks display.
A huge crowd requires a great security and safety as well on a large scale. Here’s the general cost of security for the event.
Around 100,000 people came to see the fireworks and the estimated cost was around £3.85 million, this shows the focus London had on the safety and security of their people.
The London fireworks promoted tourism and activities for people around the world to interact with each other and to enjoy the fireworks display.
