City of Sydney have released the tickets for many of the ticketed vantage points for the new year's eve fireworks. Sharing this as I assume that tickets will get sold out well before NYE.

There are many free sites for those who do not want to pay or watch it from the comfort of your TV.

What has been released so far:

  • Botanic Gardens
  • The Rocks
  • Circular Quay
  • Mosman Bradleys Head
  • Millers Point (Barangaroo Reserve)
  • Goat Island
  • Clark Island
  • Strickland Estate
  • Cahill Expressway (The ballot is only open to NSW residents - a valid post code is required)

There are many other ticketed areas that should be released soon

  • Shark Island
  • Blues Point
  • Milsons Point
  • Cockatoo Island

    Which ones good for a fist timer?

    • Hybroid on 22/09/2022 - 16:36

      Barangaroo Reserve is my personal favourite and annual tradition.

      • sh4hp on 22/09/2022 - 16:39

        So is the $50ish just to enter or you get stuff too?

        • Hybroid on 22/09/2022 - 16:45

          That's just entry unfortunately and the price has been hiked up considerably this year.

          But… it's not overly crowded, very easy to get to and from CBD & no need to camp overnight for a vantage point. You can rock up an hour before the fireworks and get an easy good spot no problem.

          You can bring your own picnic or patron several food trucks available. Read the T&Cs on what's allowed and not as there's some restrictions.

          There's usually a small DJ booth that most people don't care about, plenty toilet facilities and the Cutaway building is opened up as solid shelter in case of inclement weather or if families need to get indoors for a bit.

          It's definitely worth the premium and people pay 4x the amount on Gumtree for tickets closer to the time.

          I would recommend arriving well before an hour. Last year was great as they had social distancing requirements, but I reckon it'll be packed this year.

          I was there the first year they opened the area and it was chockers, you were almost forced to stand on the pavement because there was no more green space.

          Better to get there during the day and make a day out of it at the park. Bring a book or whatever to kill time, definitely better experience than having to squeeze next to people.

      Found this website had a short comment on each https://sydneyexpert.com/new-years-eve-in-sydney/

      The NSW residents might know as I'm flying in from interstate

    Where's the bargain exactly…

    some vintage point is free

    • onetwothreefour on 22/09/2022 - 18:57

      Would that be the 2003 vintage?

    • scphotos on 22/09/2022 - 20:19

      I'm from Brisbane and just assumed it was like riverfire - rock up and see them.

      I was stuck seeing a tiny sliver of it between several buildings.

      I get there's capacity limits but it's a shame that these events aren't free.

      • bird380 on 22/09/2022 - 20:24

        I used to study at Brisbane and I still remember the countdown at South Bank river. I agree with most people here that the event should be free and I found some of the vantage point charges as high as $500 for the entry fee only (nothing is included).

  • WatchNerd on 22/09/2022 - 17:05

    It wasn't that long ago it was free to watch the fireworks from most of these places.

    What's the normal price now?

  • naruto128 on 22/09/2022 - 17:20

    Cahill Expressway ballot has been ozbargained. keep getting 403 ERROR The request could not be satisfied.

  • StealaDeal on 22/09/2022 - 17:40

    Does anyone know if the free tickets for the Opera House vantage point is closed because they are sold out or it hasn't opened yet?

      If you are worried about covid you can stay at home, wear masks when you're out too make sure you and your family are protected, let those who want to move on with life and live.

    Seriously?? Pay money to watch fireworks organised by council /city ?
    That's full on Capitalism

  • syswong on 22/09/2022 - 18:54

    Those who hasn’t been worth to try but once you’ve been you will not return. When I was living in city, still took me almost two hours to get back home. Now I don’t live in city anymore, likely factor in another two more hours on over crowded train and buses…no I don’t think so.

    Yeah… nah. NSW has gone idiotic. With rising cost of living, this has become a rich people only event.
    I'll do the same as i have done for the last few years, go to sleep around 11. Screw this.

      NYE is overrated anyway. Your own birthday is where it's at.

    Dunno why people bother tbh…have a beer at home with friends or fam and a bbq and have it on the telly

    Wrong place to post. How is this a bargain?

    • screensaver on 23/09/2022 - 06:04

      you are not even in sydney

      • jecec on 23/09/2022 - 09:17

        How is thst relevant to whether this is a bargain or not?

        • screensaver on 23/09/2022 - 15:32

          because we have to get in early to get the best value, isnt that obvious?

          • jecec on 23/09/2022 - 15:54

            @screensaver: So… paying to get in early to get the beet seats = bargain?

            Hmm… interesting.

            • screensaver on 23/09/2022 - 16:02

              @jecec: there are free ticketed events too, but it doesnt concern you anyway

              • jecec on 23/09/2022 - 16:49

                @screensaver: You are changing the goal post at every reply. Go play alone.

  • kaka19 on 22/09/2022 - 20:07

    Darling harbour shows as Closed. Is it booked out or not opened yet?

    Should be free!

  • arcticmonkey on 22/09/2022 - 23:10

    Should be free but ticketed so it's now overcrowded. Councils are struggling to get cash for services after a decade of liberal party cuts so I can't blame them really.

  • lonewolf on 23/09/2022 - 07:09

    Paying for the privilege to stand on public ground paid by tax payers to watch the fireworks paid by taxpayers….

    Get employment with the Sydney Opera House Trust and see them for free.

  • WatchNerd on 23/09/2022 - 13:42

    Potential Hack - Arrive a day or 2 before NYE & it should be free entry.

    Free tickets now available (as of 11am) for 6 remaining sites, will go quick

  • aibargain on 30/12/2022 - 12:05

    Any one got 4 x spare tickets to East Circular Quay or Opera House and willing to donate to my family?
    Thanks a lot
