US EditionCouncil debates charging for NYE Sydney Harbour fireworks
NORTH SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, JUL 28 – North Sydney Council will sell 8,000 tickets at $50 each to offset $300,000 in costs for hosting New Year's Eve fireworks at Blues Point, replacing free access.
- On Monday night, North Sydney councillors decided to implement ticketed access at Blues Point Reserve for New Year’s Eve fireworks.
- Facing budget pressures, Councillor Nicole Antonini noted hosting New Year’s Eve could cost over a million dollars, and ticketing could help offset expenses with $400,000 in revenue from 8,000 tickets.
- Previously, a family-of-four could pay to secure a spot at Blues Point Reserve this year, as ticketing aims to reduce council costs.
- One resident said, `I definitely won't be going out`, as other residents are heartily opposed to the ticketing plan for NYE fireworks.
- Under the temporary measure, Antonini supports ticketing for this year only and the leftover $300,000 will be allocated to waste management and crowd control.
