If you had your eyes set on a front-row experience for the Burj Khalifa’s renowned New Year’s Eve show at Burj Park, you might need to consider Plan B. All paid tickets for the venue have been snapped up, with Emaar, the developer behind Burj Khalifa, announcing the requirement for tickets back in November. While the Dh300 adult and Dh150 kid passes, inclusive of a meal and two drinks, are no longer available, there are still other options to witness the iconic fireworks display.
Options Beyond the Ticketed Area
While the ticketed area in Downtown Dubai is fully booked, there are numerous other locations to catch the New Year’s Eve show, and the best part is, some of these spots are free. Surrounding areas of the world’s tallest tower, such as Dubai Mall, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, and Souk Al Bahar, offer free access. While heavy traffic and closures are expected, securing a spot in advance or booking a table at a nearby restaurant is advisable.
Live-Streaming Option: Burj Khalifa
For those unwilling to navigate the crowds and traffic on December 31, a live stream is a convenient alternative. Emaar is known for its impressive event coverage, providing viewers with drone shots and impeccable camera angles, ensuring a comprehensive experience from the comfort of your screen.
Conclusion
Despite the sold-out tickets, the magic of Burj Khalifa’s New Year’s Eve show can still be enjoyed through various accessible and free vantage points, making it a memorable way to ring in the New Year.
