Preparations for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, scheduled for May 13, 15, and 17, are in full swing, and the question of ticket sales has been asked countless times. We’ve put together this article to clarify the details and wish you luck in securing tickets, as it seems that getting them won’t be easy!
Where can tickets be purchased?
This year, unlike previous years, in order to purchase tickets, one had to first register for the ticket mailing list through TicketCorner. The purpose of this registration was to prevent ticket resale, a common issue that makes it difficult for many fans to buy tickets to live shows. The early registration closed on January 11, 2025, at 00:59 (Israel time). Tickets will not be available for purchase without prior registration.

When will ticket sales open?
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation, SRG SSR, set the first wave of ticket sales for the competition on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at 10:00 CET, one day after the semi-final draw. All tickets for the live shows were sold out within seven minutes, while all tickets for the rehearsals were gone within 20 minutes.
The second wave of sales will open on Thursday, March 27, at 12:00 CET. However, sales will be available only to those who registered by January 11 and were unable to purchase tickets. Anyone who registered for the waiting list by January 11, 2025, at 23:59 CET but has not yet managed to buy tickets, received a personal update from Ticketcorner via email on February 10. Additionally, the personal access code for purchasing tickets will be sent in another email on Monday, March 24.
Judge rehearsal? Family rehearsal? Or maybe the live show?
As in previous years, the Eurovision competition will be divided 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 live show, which will be broadcast live (Live TV Show) at 22:00 (Israel time). However, additional tickets will be sold for the “Family Show,” which will take place on the same day in the afternoon, and tickets will also be available for another rehearsal, previously known as the “Jury Show,” which will take place the night before at 22:00. All rehearsals will include all the competing songs, the hosting, and the interval performances but will not include the final results. Additionally, technical issues may arise that could affect the viewing experience.
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
