Burj Park New Year’s Eve entry starts at AED580: Will you pay for the best seat in town?

Front-row views of the New Year’s Eve fireworks at the Burj Khalifa will again be a paid experience, with tickets for Burj Park starting at AED 580 for adults and AED 370 for children above the age of five. Tickets will be available from October 24 and include a food and beverage voucher, Khaleej Times reported.

This marks the second year that paid entry is required for Burj Park. Last year, tickets sold out quickly, with prices set at AED 300 for adults and AED 150 for children.

While Burj Park will require paid admission, other viewing areas in Downtown Dubai will remain free and open to the public, according to the developer, Emaar. The event promises a refined experience, including live entertainment, children’s workshops, and a curated selection of food and beverages.

Live entertainment will begin at 3:30 p.m. on December 31, featuring DJ performances, live bands, and activities for kids. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, with picnic tables, drum tables, and bean bags provided. Guests are encouraged to collect their entry badges from December 26 to 30 for smooth access to Burj Park.
