Ticket sales for Eurovision 2025 in Basel, Switzerland, will start on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at 10:00 CET. How to order a ticket? How much will a ticket cost? All details in the article.
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the Swiss national broadcaster, SRG SSR, have announced that ticket sales for the competition will begin on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at 10:00 CET, one day after the semi-final draw. This year, unlike previous years, to purchase tickets, one must first register for the ticket mailing list through TicketCorner. This registration is intended to prevent ticket resale, a common phenomenon that makes it difficult for many fans to purchase tickets for live performances.
Early registration opened and will be available until 10 January 2025 at midnight (23:59 CET). It will not be possible to purchase tickets without pre-registration, so it is recommended to register as soon as possible, and at the same time, open an account on the ticket website in advance to purchase a ticket at the moment of sale.

Jury Show? Family Show? Or maybe the Live Show?
The Eurovision Song Contest will be divided, as it is every year, into three main events: the First Semi-Final, the Second Semi-Final, and the Grand Final. The First Semi-Final will take place on May 13, the Second Semi-Final on May 15, and the Grand Final on May 17.
Each of these events will include the main show that will be broadcast live (Live TV Show) at 21:00 CET. However, additional tickets will also be sold for the “Family Show” which will take place on the same day in the afternoon, and tickets will also be sold for another rehearsal previously known as the “Jury Show” which will take place the day before at 21:00. All rehearsals will include all competing songs, the hosting, and the interval acts, but will not include the final results, and there may be technical issues that could affect the viewers’ experience.
Which countries will compete in each semi-final?
The allocation of countries to the semi-finals will take place on January 28. This draw determines which countries will perform in the First Semi-Final and which will compete in the Second Semi-Final. We will only know the exact lineup for each semi-final after this draw is completed. Ticket sales will open the day after the Semi-Final draw.

Eurovision 2025: This will be Switzerland’s 65th participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. Switzerland joined the competition in 1956, being one of the seven founding countries, and has won three times over the years. Its most recent victory was at the last Eurovision in 2025, with Nemo’s song “The Code.” This win follows Switzerland’s previous victory in 1988 with the song “Ne partez pas sans moi,” performed by international singer Céline Dion.
