Belfast Christmas switch-on tickets released at 10am and 7pm today
Free bookings open in two batches on Tuesday, with five general tickets per booking and separate wheelchair-platform arrangements.
Free tickets for Belfast’s Christmas lights switch-on are due to be released at 10am and 7pm today, Tuesday 3 November, through Visit Belfast.
Belfast City Council says general bookings are limited to five tickets and allocated on a first-come basis. Every person attending needs a ticket, including infants and young children in pushchairs.
The event takes place outside City Hall on Saturday 14 November, from 6.30pm to 7.30pm. General gates open at 6pm. Ticket holders must download or print the ticket itself: an email confirmation alone will not be accepted for entry.
Wheelchair-platform tickets open at 10am today, with a limit of two per booking. The council’s main booking instructions direct applicants to the Visit Belfast Welcome Centre in person or by telephone on 028 9024 6609.
