See off 2023 in style at NYE on the Cahill Expressway

Six thousand free, front row seats to Sydney Harbour’s world-famous New Year’s Eve fireworks spectacular are up for grabs when the ballot goes live on Tuesday 5 September to send off 2023 on the Cahill Expressway.  

Transport for NSW Executive Director Marketing and Brand Allison Lee said ‘NYE on the Cahill Expressway’ is a family-friendly event, alcohol and smoke-free and offers one of the city’s premier vantage points to see the fireworks.  

“Transport for NSW has hosted this free, annual event since the year 2000 and it’s one of the hottest tickets in town,” Ms Lee said. 

“There’ll be fantastic food, live entertainment and people can set up a picnic blanket, or book add-ons like hampers and picnic benches.” 

Entrants can nominate their preference to attend either the 9pm or midnight session, with a maximum of five tickets available per ballot winner.  

Around 3,000 can take in the fireworks display at each session, with a dedicated accessibility viewing area available to up to 200 people.  

“This is a great chance to witness a global spectacular up close and personal and to celebrate the new year in style and comfort,” Ms Lee said.  

“We’re excited to give thousands of people from across New South Wales the chance to join us for an unforgettable experience with breathtaking views of the fireworks over the Harbour.” 

The ballot for tickets to NYE on the Cahill Expressway 2023 opens at 9:00am Tuesday 5 September and will close on Friday 6 October at 11:59pm.
