Londoners booed Boris today for making the capital’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display a paid and ticketed event.

Spectators will now have to pay £10 for a ticket. In further bad news, the event will be limited to 100,000 ticketed spectators for the first time.

Londoners took to Twitter to vent their frustration:

 

 

Boris’ office said that the event’s popularity made London’s transport and safety infrastructure “untenable”

Boris Johnson said: “London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks are phenomenally popular, not just in the capital, but across the world and we want to ensure it continues to be a safe, enjoyable and sustainable event for the long-term.”

You can start booking tickets from 26 September.
