where is the ballot information for NYE fireworks
Hi Lynne,
At this point, it looks like no real information has been released by both the Melbourne Council and the various news stories that have been published.
The only helpful information states that the ticket ballot opens this week and will be available through Ticketek, and the full New Year’s Eve program launches on Thursday 25th November.
So all i can suggest is checking out the official website on a regular basis at https://nye.melbourne.vic.gov.au/, and follow the City of Melbourne’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/cityofmelbourne/.
Thanks
Michael
