Is a paid Botanic Garden picnic worth it for Sydney New Year's Eve fireworks?

If you choose a free site, read its capacity and opening information and be ready for a much earlier arrival. Plan food, toilets and the long trip home in the crowds.

Compare the official event's exact viewing area, entry window, seating rules and refund policy with free public vantage points. A paid ticket buys a specific arrangement, not necessarily the view you imagine.
