Alexander Palace: Back With A Bang

ldev · October 2013

Does anyone by any chance have a spare ticket? Just the one i need for a friend.<div>Appreciate your help!</div>

back with a bang and out with a whimper! I knew I should have bought tickets sooner. So annoying.

I think you'll still get a great view from Ridge Road Kate if you want to see the fireworks.

Like most people I didn't buy a ticket ahead of time - where is the best place to see the fireworks from if you are not in the park? Does the ticketing mean no access to the park all day from 2pm?

I happen to have a spare ticket. Well, in a way. The online ticket says: "please ensure that your entire party is together when you present this e-ticket." How do we get around this?

conformable_kate · November 2013

As Luirette says Ridge Rd is good - I used to have a friend in a top floor flat there and would go round for an annual firework viewing. You would probably also get a good view standing at the top of Montenotte Rd, just above Highgate Wood school - all downhill/ flat from there to Ally Pally.<div><br></div><div>Luckily I've found someone else who has tickets and will be taking the little one, which was my main concern, so I shall be staying indoors!</div>

The Bridge above St James Lane, Muswell Hill near the Royal Oak pub is a great place to watch the fireworks, you can actually see all across London so you see fireworks everywhere and it's near the pub too

Thanks for the info - a good location near a pub sounds great. Looking at it on the map I didn't even know that pub existed. Good be 2 good finds in one question. <div><br></div>

Turns out I don't need the ticket now. Maybe someone else on here might take it off your hands?</font>

Anyone know what time the fireworks start? Website only says 2pm for the beer fest. Thanks

dorothy · November 2013

It starts at 8pm and lasts 30 minutes I read somewhere on there. <div><br></div><div>It says the beer is first come first served, so maybe they'll run out. You can't take drink in either. I'm going to try and secret a can in my pocket. I went to the park yesterday and I noticed that the foothills were all fenced off, so you have to walk up the main drag. </div>

graeme · November 2013

Thanks Dorothy. Camelbak of brandy under your coat, the never find that. Just going to be at the Ridge/Oakfield junction, once fenced in at AP was enough for me. Kids with sparklers are a death trap! Kerb beers and roll and sausage from that guy's garage if he hasn't been shut down.

Luirette · November 2013

Back from Ally Pally a little while ago. Wouldn't pay £9 for it again. Curious how the view was from outside - will watch from outside next year.

tomp · November 2013

Yep was there this evening, pretty poor IMO.<div>Shoddy laser show & massively distracting, badly ampified pop music did not compensate for what was an average display.. would rather 15mins of good rather than 30 mins of deeply boring.</div><div><br></div><div>Free event in the past has been much better than this ticketed effort.</div><div><br></div>

Kids loved it though. The pop was good I thought but the one direction was overdone. Chang

miss annie · November 2013

I was at home watching Strictly. The Hallowe'en special is always one of the telly highlights of the year.

Idoru · November 2013

Wasn't it just Fab.U.Lous.? I didn't go to any displays because I don't hold with this celebrating on the wrong day.

miss annie · November 2013

Oh it was! Yes, looking forward to Tuesday. Twitter comments about Ally Pally make it sound like a massive disappointment.

djmattyoung · November 2013

Is there anywhere in the local area doing fireworks tonight?

vetski · November 2013

By the sound of it, pretty much everywhere!

ChangN4N6 · November 2013

Great display but the urinating in the bushes afterwards spoiled it for Joyce. Chang

kreuzkav · November 2013

Perhaps Joyce came up with a portrait of an artist as a young man through witnessing such actions.

quince · November 2013

Did she accidentally wipe with a stinging nettle?

ChangN4N6 · November 2013

No , Hassan her 'husband/lover/woteva ' did that (!) The nite certainly went with a bang for them!! Chang

Howdy, Stranger!
