There Are Two Types of Global Village Tickets in 2026

Global Village sells two entry tickets this season: the Any Day ticket for AED 30, which you can use on any day of the week, and the Weekday ticket for AED 25, which you can use only from Monday to Thursday.

Weekday ticket: AED 25

The Weekday ticket is the cheaper ticket, valid on four days only: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

• You cannot use it on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Last season it was valid on Sunday too. This season it is not.
• You cannot use it on a public holiday, even when the holiday is on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
• You can upgrade it. If you bought a Weekday ticket and now want to go at the weekend, pay the AED 5 difference at a ticketing booth at Global Village.

Some ticket platforms call this ticket the Value Ticket. It is the same ticket.

Any Day ticket: AED 30

The Any Day ticket is the full Global Village ticket, with no restriction on days. You buy it without choosing a date, and you can enter with it on any one day of the season. That is what "Any Day" means: you choose the day.

It is not only a weekend ticket. It is valid on:

• Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
• Friday, Saturday and Sunday
• Public holidays

Many people buy it for a weekend visit, because the Weekday ticket is not valid then. But a person who holds an Any Day ticket can go on a Tuesday too.

The simplest way to see the two tickets is this: the Any Day ticket is the normal ticket, and the Weekday ticket is the same ticket for AED 5 less, with Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays taken out.

What is the same for both tickets

• One ticket lets one person in once. For a second visit you buy a second ticket.
• Neither ticket has a date on it. You can use it on any day it is valid for, until the season ends in May 2027.
• The price is the same on the website, in the app and at the gate. Booking ahead does not save you money. It only saves you from queuing at the ticket booth.
• The price is per person, with VAT included.

Buy Global Village Tickets 2026 Here

You can buy Global Village tickets in seven places: three run by Global Village itself and four well-known ticket platforms. Global Village sets the entry price. The platforms differ mainly in how you pay, what else they sell with the ticket and how long the ticket is valid.

From Global Village itself:

• The official website, globalvillage.ae, suits most visitors, because you buy directly from Global Village and the ticket has no date. The booking steps are further down this page.
• The official app is called "Global Village Dubai" on the App Store and "Global Village" on Google Play. It sells entry and attraction tickets, and you can also use it to top up a Wonder Pass, the points card used for rides.
• The ticket booths at the gate start selling on opening day, 14 October, when the gates open at 6pm. Check your change before you leave the booth, because the Terms say no change is given after you leave.

From a ticket platform:

• Platinumlist is a ticketing site for events and attractions in the UAE. Its ticket has no fixed date and is confirmed immediately. It cannot be cancelled.
• Klook was the only platform that charged less than Global Village itself. But its voucher is valid only until 27 November 2026, not until the end of the season, and it cannot be cancelled.
• Headout asks you to choose a visit date, and it had dates on sale up to 27 November 2026. It emails you a voucher, which you show on your phone together with photo ID. It also sells entry together with the stunt show or with Dubai Miracle Garden. Its tickets cannot be cancelled.
• Tiqets also asks you to choose a visit date, and it sends the ticket to your phone. Its ticket cannot be refunded or moved to another date.

On 13 October 2026 all four platforms still treated Sunday as a weekday, which was last season's rule. Global Village's own rule this season is that the Weekday ticket is valid from Monday to Thursday only. So for a Sunday visit, buy the Any Day ticket wherever you book.

None of the four platforms showed a booking fee on its ticket page. A platform can still add a fee at checkout, so check the total before you pay.

Do not buy from a seller on social media or from a website you do not know. Global Village's Terms do not allow tickets to be resold, and they say a ticket is no longer valid once its code has been scanned. Gulf News reports that fake ticket websites appear every season. The Terms mention "designated partner websites" but do not name them.

Advantages of the Any Day Ticket: Should You Buy It?

The Any Day ticket is the safe choice, because it is valid whichever day you go. Buy the Weekday ticket only if you are sure you will go from Monday to Thursday, on a day that is not a public holiday. It saves you AED 5.

The Any Day ticket costs AED 5 more per person, which is AED 20 more for a family of four. For that you get three advantages:

1. You can go on any day. The ticket is valid on all seven days of the week, so a change of plan from Wednesday to Saturday costs you nothing.
2. Public holidays are covered. A Weekday ticket is not valid on a public holiday, even on a Monday. An Any Day ticket is.
3. You do not need to upgrade at the gate. A person with a Weekday ticket who arrives on a Friday has to go to a ticketing booth and pay the AED 5 difference before going in.

The Any Day ticket does not give you anything more inside Global Village. You get the same entry as a person with a Weekday ticket, and you enter once, not every day.

What a Global Village Ticket Gets You Entry To

A Global Village ticket gets you into the park and into everything that has no separate ticket. The official booking page says entry covers these:

• The pavilions. There are 29 this season, and you can walk into every one of them.
• The street shows, such as the drummers and the clowns who perform along the walkways.
• The cultural stages, where dancers and musicians from different countries perform through the evening.
• The Kids' Theatre, which has shows for small children.
• General attractions, in Global Village's own words. It does not list them.

You also see the fireworks on Fridays and Saturdays at 9pm from inside Global Village, with no extra ticket.

Your ticket is for one entry. If you need to step outside during your visit, ask the security staff at the exit gate for a hand stamp, because you need it to come back in.

Our list of things you cannot miss at Global Village shows what to see first.

What a Global Village Ticket Does Not Include

A Global Village ticket does not include rides, the stunt show, The Dragon Kingdom, food, shopping or paid parking. You pay for each of these separately when you are there.

A Wonder Pass is the points card you use for rides. It does not include entry, so you still need an entry ticket.

Global Village listed these prices the day before the season opened, so check them again when you buy. Our guide to Global Village parking shows which car park to use.

Who Gets Free Entry at Global Village?

Three groups enter Global Village free, and staff may ask for ID before they give a free ticket:

• Children under 3. Carry any document that shows the child's age.
• Seniors over 65. Carry an Emirates ID or passport that shows the date of birth.
• People of determination, who can also bring one companion free. Carry the People of Determination ID card. The companion needs no card of their own.

Everyone else pays the full price. Global Village has not published a lower price for residents, students or any nationality.

The official site gives the senior age in two ways: the Terms say "over the age of sixty-five (65)", and the booking page says "Age: 65+". A person aged 66 or more enters free under both. If you are exactly 65, carry your ID and ask at the ticket booth whether you can enter free.

When you book online, the free tickets are in the same guest list as the paid tickets, and they are marked "Free". Add your free tickets there.

Offers on Global Village Tickets in 2026

Global Village has published no ticket offer for Season 31 so far. On 13 October 2026 there was:

• no bank card discount
• no telecom or brand promotion
• no family pack

The only lower price was on Klook, as described in the section on where to buy.

The official booking page has a "Special Offers" tab. On 13 October, the day before the season opened, the entries in that tab looked like test entries, and their prices did not match each other. So we do not list them here.

When Global Village publishes real offers, look for them in three places:

• The "Special Offers" tab on the official booking page. Check it again from 14 October, when the season is open.
• The official app and Global Village's own social media accounts.
• Discount cards. The Terms say that people who hold certain discount cards can link the card to their Global Village account to get online offers. Global Village has not yet published which cards these are or how much they save.

Last season Global Village offered a family deal only in the final weeks, in May 2026, and sold it at the counters, not online. No family deal has been announced for Season 31.

Global Village VIP Packs in 2026

A VIP pack is a box of many entry tickets with extras, sold separately from the two normal tickets. It suits a family or a group of friends who plan to visit many times in the season.

• Price: six packs, from AED 1,890 for the Silver pack to AED 7,900 for the Diamond pack.
• What is inside: the Silver pack has 100 VIP entry tickets, a VIP parking voucher, two Wonder Pass cards and entries to the stunt show. The larger packs have more of each.
• Where to buy: only on the Coca-Cola Arena website, not on globalvillage.ae. The sale opened on 26 September 2026 and runs while stocks last.

Khaleej Times reported that the pre-booking sold out, and we could not confirm which packs are still on sale. Our guide to the Global Village VIP pack lists every pack with its price and benefits.

How to Book Global Village Tickets Online

Here is how to book on the official website, globalvillage.ae, from the first button to the payment:

1. Open the official buy page. Go to the Global Village buy page, or press the orange "Buy Tickets" button at the top right of any page on globalvillage.ae.
2. Stay on the "Park Entry Tickets" tab. It is the first of the four tabs.

Pick "Weekday" only if you are sure you will go from Monday to Thursday, on a day that is not a public holiday.
4. Set your guests. Open the guest list, set the number of Adults, Children, Seniors and POD (people of determination), and press "Done".
5. Press "Continue". The orange "Continue" button shows your total.
6. Pay for the tickets. Global Village accepts Visa and Mastercard cards and Apple Pay online.

Global Village emails you the ticket as a PDF with a QR code. You can show it on your phone or print it.

Things to Know Before You Buy a Global Village Ticket

Read these three rules before you pay. They tell you what happens if your plans change and who can enter on a Tuesday.

1. There are no refunds. The Global Village Terms and Conditions say entry tickets are not refunded "under any circumstances", and a lost ticket is not replaced.
2. If Global Village closes for a full day, you can reschedule your visit. If you cannot reschedule, the Terms say Global Village reviews each refund request case by case.
3. Tuesdays are reserved for families, couples and ladies, unless the Tuesday is a public holiday. A man on his own cannot enter on that day.
