| The Mayor is committed to ensuring that ticket prices for New Year’s Eve remain as low as possible, and this is the first time the price of tickets has been increased since ticketing was introduced in 2014. It reflects the significant increase in costs across the events industry since 2019 due to the impact of COVID, Brexit, supply shortages and now inflation. Every penny from tickets sales is used to pay for the costs associated with the ticketing scheme. |
