When will ticket sales open?
At this stage, it is not known when ticket sales will begin.
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 2021 – First round of tickets sold on May 8, 2021 – Preference given to ticket buyers for Eurovision 2020
Eurovision 2022 – First round of tickets sold on April 7, 2022 – Sales delay likely due to the impact of the coronavirus
Eurovision 2023 – First round of tickets sold on March 7, 2023
Eurovision 2024 – First round of tickets sold on November 28, 2023
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 typically takes place towards the end of January. 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.
Additionally, it is likely that another round of ticket sales will open once the draw has taken place.
What is the price of tickets?
The exact prices for Eurovision 2025 tickets have not been announced yet. However, we can expect that the ticket prices for the “Jury Show” and “Family Show” will be significantly cheaper compared to the live broadcast show.
For reference, the ticket prices for Eurovision 2024, which were considered relatively affordable, were as follows:
- Semi-Final Dress Rehearsals: €13 – €71
- Semi-Finals Live Shows: €47 – €214
- Grand Final Dress Rehearsals: €13 – €214
- Grand Final Live Show: €77 – €339
When did ticket sales begin in previous years?
Typically, the first round of Eurovision ticket sales starts during November or December. Here’s a history of ticket sale start dates for past Eurovision contests:
Eurovision 2024: November 28, 2023
Eurovision 2023: March 7, 2023
Eurovision 2022: April 7, 2022 (delayed likely due to COVID-19 impact)

Eurovision 2015: December 15, 2014

As you can see, while November-December is the usual timeframe, there have been exceptions due to various circumstances such as technical issues or the COVID-19 pandemic. The organizers aim to start ticket sales as early as possible, but factors like venue selection, stage design, and ticketing arrangements can affect the timing.
