Tickets to one of the best value events on Sydney Harbour on sale today
6000 tickets to celebrate New Year’s Eve at Sydney’s newest harbourside headland, Barangaroo Reserve, will be released on pre-sale for subscribers to the Barangaroo e-newsletter at 12 noon today. The remaining 6,000 tickets will also go on sale to the general public this Wednesday the 12th of October.
The cost of a child ticket (3-15 year old) has been reduced from AUD$14.50 last year to AUD$5 this year. The cost of an adult ticket (16 year old +) remains the same at AUD$29.50. Tickets sold out last year in 4 weeks.
Barangaroo Reserve, on the north western waterfront of the Sydney Central Business District, has quickly become a favourite destination for locals & tourists, with 1 million people visiting in its 1st year.
The spectacular harbourside location, sloping lawns & superb views of the sunset and the western face of the Sydney Harbour Bridge makes it the perfect spot to enjoy a picnic dinner & drinks, followed by the 9pm Family & Midnight Fireworks.
Barangaroo Reserve will have a capacity of 12,000 people, with tickets priced as low as possible to recover part of the costs directly associated with hosting the event. Ticketing Barangaroo Reserve for Sydney New Year’s Eve avoids overcrowding & increases public safety.
The Barangaroo Delivery Authority will provide entertainment at a number of locations throughout the park before & after the 9pm Family Fireworks as well as roving entertainers, extra toilet facilities, a high level of security & one of the best views of the western harbour.
The Authority’s Chief Executive Officer, Craig van der Laan, said Barangaroo Reserve was a great family friendly option for Sydney New Year’s Eve.
“We ticket the event & limit numbers to 12,000 to ensure the comfort & safety of the public’’ Mr van der Laan said.
“We want people to have an enjoyable & memorable Sydney New Year’s Eve experience”
“The Stargazer & Walumil Lawns make ideal picnic spots. We will have well-staffed food stalls & licenced bars as well as a designated alcohol-free zone”
“Barangaroo Reserve is the best value ticketed New Year’s Eve venue on Sydney Harbour. To make it more family-friendly, we have reduced the cost of a child’s ticket by 65% to AUD$5″
“We are providing access to one of the best harbourside locations west of the Harbour Bridge while also providing all the amenities to ensure a safe & comfortable experience”
