For those without a pre-purchased ticket or reservation, we will be open to the public, with free entry all day, subject to venue capacity and closure of The Rocks Precinct. When the fireworks vantage points reach capacity, the temporary gated entrance to The Rocks Precinct is closed off to the general public. Only guests with pre-purchased tickets or advance reservations are permitted entry to The Rocks Precinct after the gates are closed – don’t risk missing out, arrive early and pre-purchase your tickets to Fortune of War NYE and celebrate the best time of year!
- Are tickets compulsory?
No – our General Admission Tickets give you priority entry to the venue, however we will also allow walk-in customers on the day (subject to venue capacity & RSA). Similarly, customers who have a valid reservation in First Fleet Bistro DO NOT require an additional General Admission Ticket – you only need one or the other for access to both areas (subject to capacity).
- Venue Entry & Ticket Conditions:
* The Fortune of War practices the Responsible Service of Alcohol. Management reserve all rights to evict or refuse entry based on behaviour, intoxication, or attire. Once venue reaches capacity, priority entry will be given to customers with pre-purchased tickets.
^ Entry to The Rocks Precinct is managed by Police & Transport officials, and whilst we endeavour to provide accurate information, changes may be made on the night for crowd safety reasons which are out of our control.
