# EMAAR New Year's Eve 2026 at Burj Park: Tickets & Guide
EMAAR New Year's Eve 2026 at Burj Park places guests at the center of Downtown Dubai's most anticipated night, offering a ticketed viewing experience directly beside the Burj Khalifa. Scheduled for Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the event runs from 12:00 PM to 1:30 AM — delivering a controlled, premium environment for those who want guaranteed access, unobstructed sightlines, and structured entry to the world's most watched New Year's Eve fireworks display.
A Ticketed Viewing Experience at Burj Park
Burj Park, situated in the heart of Downtown Dubai, serves as the centerpiece of EMAAR's eight-day NYE 2026 celebrations. Unlike the free public viewing areas scattered across the city, this ticketed zone provides guests with curated, front-row access to the iconic Burj Khalifa fireworks, laser, and light show.
Adding a cinematic dimension to the night, EMAAR has partnered with Frontstage by Red Chillies Entertainment — the production company founded by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan — to bring high-energy performances and Bollywood-inspired entertainment programming to the venue. It marks the first time a Bollywood-themed collaboration of this scale has been woven into the flagship NYE event at Burj Park.
Ticket Prices, Entry Rules, and Timing
Tickets for the EMAAR New Year's Eve 2026 Burj Park event are priced as follows:
- Adults: AED 997.50 - Children (ages 5–12): AED 577.50 - Under 5: Complimentary (registration required)
Gates open at noon on December 31, with final entry at 6:00 PM. Once guests exit the venue, re-entry is not permitted — making arrival planning essential for those who want to secure a good spot before the midnight countdown.
Badge Collection and Access Requirements
Attending the EMAAR NYE 2026 Burj Park event requires mandatory badge collection in advance. Guests must pick up their badges between December 26 and 30 at one of two locations:
- Dubai Mall - Dubai Hills Mall
On the night itself, entry is via designated Downtown Gate 5 entry points, including the Mexican Gate and Opera Gate. Guests must present their badges at the gate before proceeding through security screening to receive wristbands granting venue access.
Food, Transport, and Event Logistics
Food trucks and beverage stalls operate throughout Burj Park for the duration of the event, offering a range of dining options without requiring guests to leave the venue.
For transport, EMAAR advises guests to arrive before 4:00 PM to avoid congestion as Downtown Dubai closes its roads ahead of the fireworks. After 4:00 PM, parking becomes limited and shuttle buses operate to and from the Dubai Opera bus stop, providing a convenient transfer option from surrounding areas.
The combination of pre-assigned viewing zones, structured ticketing, and advance badge collection makes this one of the most organized and premium New Year's Eve experiences in the region — and the closest you can get to the Burj Khalifa fireworks without a residency in Downtown Dubai.
