Excitement for Eurovision 2025, set to take place in Basel, Switzerland, has reached unprecedented levels with the fastest ticket sales in the competition’s history! Which countries are leading in ticket purchases?

Eurovision 2025 is fast approaching, and tickets for the rehearsals and finals sold out within minutes during the first wave of sales. Not only was the pace extraordinary, but the diversity was equally impressive. According to data from the European Broadcasting Union, fans from over 80 countries worldwide—spanning Europe, Latin America, and Asia—secured tickets for the event.

As Switzerland prepares to host Eurovision in Basel, the competition is breaking boundaries and continents at a remarkable pace. What once was a “European song festival” is now evolving into a truly global phenomenon. Enthusiasm transcends languages, cultures, and time zones, with hundreds of thousands marking Basel as their top destination of the year. The numbers speak for themselves: this is a worldwide sensation.




Leading Countries in Ticket Purchases

Data shows that the top ten countries purchasing tickets for Eurovision 2025 are:

  • Switzerland

  • Germany

  • United Kingdom

  • France

  • Spain

  • Netherlands

  • United States

  • Australia

  • Austria

  • Italy

A significant number of tickets were also sold to non-participating countries. Those with the highest ticket purchase rates include North Macedonia, Brazil, Liechtenstein, Canada, China, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Hungary, South Korea, Argentina, Romania, Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Mexico, and more!

The statistics reveal that fans from over 80 nations bought tickets for the event—including countries not currently participating in the competition. Among these are Romania, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia, which have ceased participation in recent years. Additionally, there was remarkable demand from distant countries such as Mexico, Philippines, Brazil, and China—underscoring Eurovision’s global popularity.



Eurovision Bigger Than Ever

This year’s ticket demand has shattered records. Comparatively, Eurovision 2024 in Malmö saw rapid ticket sales but not at this year’s astonishing pace. While 2024 saw significant attendance from countries like the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Germany, this year marks a surge in demand from outside Europe—including the United States and Australia.

Eurovision 2025 is shaping up to be exceptional in its popularity—transforming into an event of unprecedented global scale. With immense interest from non-participating countries and record-breaking ticket sales figures, Basel is not just hosting Eurovision—it’s becoming a pilgrimage site for music lovers and pop culture enthusiasts worldwide. The St. Jakobshalle arena will welcome its most diverse audience yet.

The remaining question is not whether this is a success but how far Eurovision can go. Judging by its rapid growth and expansion beyond Europe’s borders, its future seems boundless—reaching audiences everywhere.

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.
