Dubai’s Global Village has officially announced ticket prices for Season 31, with entry starting at AED 25 on weekdays and AED 30 on weekends and public holidays. The popular cultural and entertainment destination will reopen on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 6pm, welcoming visitors for another season of international shopping, dining and family entertainment. Running until May 2027, the new season will also introduce an improved VIP parking payment system designed to make departures more convenient for guests.
Global Village Dubai Ticket Prices for Season 31
Visitors planning to explore Global Village during the upcoming season will pay AED 25 for weekday admission from Monday to Thursday, while tickets for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays will cost AED 30. The prices remain unchanged from the previous season, although organisers have introduced an important adjustment to the days covered by weekday admission. Under the new arrangement, Sunday will be treated as a weekend for ticket pricing purposes, whereas it was previously included in the weekday category.
Tickets will be available through the official Global Village website, mobile application and entrance gates starting from the opening day. The different ticket options allow residents and tourists to plan their visits according to their preferred dates, with weekday admission remaining the more affordable choice for those who have flexibility in their schedules.
Global Village Season 31 Opening Date and Timings
Global Village will officially welcome guests on October 14, 2026, from 6pm, marking the beginning of its 31st season in Dubai. Following the opening day, regular operating hours will begin at 4pm, allowing visitors to explore the destination throughout the evening. From Sunday to Wednesday, Global Village will operate from 4pm until midnight, while Thursday to Saturday and public holiday timings will extend from 4pm until 1am.
The extended weekend opening hours provide visitors with additional time to enjoy the destination’s entertainment attractions, shopping experiences and dining options. With the season continuing for more than seven months, residents and international visitors will have opportunities to explore Global Village throughout Dubai’s cooler months until May 2027.
New VIP Parking Payment System Introduced
One of the key operational changes announced for Season 31 is the introduction of a VIP Parking self-payment system. Dedicated payment vending machines will allow motorists to settle their parking charges before returning to their vehicles and approaching the exit points. Previously, guests using VIP parking could only complete their payments when leaving the parking area, which could contribute to congestion during busy periods.
The new system is intended to improve traffic movement and reduce waiting times, particularly during weekends, public holidays and other high attendance periods. Visitors using VIP parking without a VIP package can generally expect to pay AED 200 per day, while other paid parking options remain available at different price points.
Global Village Parking Fees and Available Options
Apart from VIP parking, Global Village offers several paid parking zones with charges ranging from AED 75 to AED 120. One of these parking areas is located approximately 350 metres from the Happiness Gate entrance, providing convenient access for visitors who prefer to park closer to the venue.
Free parking areas will also remain available, alongside dedicated spaces for People of Determination and A sticker holders. With different parking arrangements offered across the destination, visitors can select an option that suits their needs and budget before entering the attraction.
Global Village VIP Packages Return for Season 31
Premium experiences will continue to form part of Global Village’s offerings, with the return of the Mega Gold and Mega Silver VIP Packs for the 2026 to 2027 season. These packages combine selected Global Village privileges with seasonal passes or admission tickets for attractions at Dubai Parks and Resorts, providing additional entertainment benefits for eligible package holders.
The initial pre-booking phase for Season 31 VIP packs opened on September 21, 2026, exclusively through the Coca-Cola Arena website, with the available pre-booking allocation selling out. The strong interest reflects continued demand for premium visitor experiences and additional conveniences at the destination.
What Visitors Can Expect From Global Village Season 31
Returning under the theme “A More Wonderful World,” Global Village Season 31 will bring back its popular international shopping experiences, cultural entertainment, dining destinations and family attractions. Visitors can look forward to exploring the destination’s multicultural offerings while discovering new additions introduced for the upcoming season.
The seasonal attraction continues to offer residents and tourists an opportunity to experience different cultures, cuisines and entertainment activities within one location. With ticket prices starting at AED 25, extended weekend opening hours and the introduction of a more convenient VIP parking payment system, Global Village is preparing to welcome visitors for another season of cultural experiences and family entertainment from October 14, 2026, until May 2027.
