Showing photo ID to enter the event

The main ticket buyer may be asked to show photo ID at the entry gate to get in.

This is to help us with security and to stop ticket touts. More people want to come to the fireworks than we have room for. We want to give everyone the same chance to get tickets on a first come, first served basis.

Photo ID you can use

Your photo ID will need to match the name on your Ticketmaster account to prove you bought the tickets legally.

The best forms of photo ID are your passport or photo driving license, or a good quality photocopy of either of these.

If you don't have either, stewards on the entry gates will decide whether to accept your alternative photo ID.

Bringing children under 16

As a late night and crowded, outdoor event, this event is not suitable for young children. We strongly recommend you do not bring young children. Any under 16s who do attend must be with an adult. Everyone, whatever their age, must have a ticket to get in.

But there are hundreds of ways to celebrate New Year's Eve in London. Find out what's on offer and plan your night on Visit London.

Transport in London on NYE will be much busier than usual, and your travel plans may be affected. Plan your journey in advance.
