Good news: The second wave of ticket sales for Eurovision 2025 in Basel, Switzerland, will open on Thursday, March 27th at 12:00 CET.

The Swiss national broadcaster, SRG SSR, has announced that the second wave of ticket sales for Eurovision 2025 will commence on Thursday, March 27th, at 12:00 CET. However, this sale will be exclusively available to those who pre-registered by January 10th and have not yet managed to purchase tickets. During the first sales wave on January 29th, all tickets for live performances were snapped up within just seven minutes, while all tickets for rehearsals were sold out within 20 minutes. Now, following additional adjustments to the venue and seating arrangements, an additional supply of tickets for all nine performances will be released.




Ticket Purchase Process

Tickets will once again be sold through the TicketCorner website, and only to those who pre-registered. Everyone who signed up for the waiting list by January 10th, 2025, at 23:59 CET, but has not yet succeeded in purchasing tickets, will receive a personal update from Ticketcorner via email on Monday (today), February 10th. Additionally, the personal access code for purchase will be sent in a separate email on Monday, March 24th.

Caution Against Unauthorized Purchases

Due to high demand, organizers continue to advise those who failed to secure tickets to avoid purchasing through third-party platforms, as the validity of tickets acquired from unofficial sources cannot be guaranteed. They add that in the near future, verified ticket purchases will be possible through Ticketcorner fanSALE, Ticketcorner’s official trading platform, which ensures that all tickets sold through it are completely valid.

  • Semi-final dress rehearsals: From 10 Swiss francs to 170 Swiss francs.

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 took 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.

When did ticket sales begin in previous years?

In previous years, ticket sales for Eurovision rehearsals and live shows opened much later:
Eurovision 2019 – First round of tickets sold on February 28, 2019 – Delay due to technical issues
Eurovision 2020 – First round of tickets sold on December 12, 2019

Eurovision 2024 – First round of tickets sold on November 28, 2023

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.
