In less than 24 hours, the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, Salvador Sobral, has sold out all ticket reservations for his upcoming concerts across Portugal.

The first concert he will perform after his Eurovision victory in Ukraine will be on May 26 at the Cultural Centre of Cartaxo, a municipality around 65 km from Lisbon. The Cultural Centre announced today on social media that it is no longer possible to reserve tickets for Salvador’s performance. Now, tickets can only be bought at the door on the day.

Later in May he will also visit the city of Ovar, where it is also no longer possible to reserve tickets. Sources from the city council of Ílhavo also informed Portuguese press that reserved tickets for his performance there on June 10 have also been exhausted,

The largest concerts where Salvador is expected to perform will take place at the beginning of July, when he plans to perform in Lisbon, Oporto, Coimbra and Braga, on 2, 5, 6 and 8, respectively.

On 20th May, Salvador will participate alongside other musicians at the Festival Confluencias, in the province of Porto. Entry is free here, and the attendance is expected to be enormous.

Salvador Sobral, 27, won Eurovision last Saturday in Kyiv with the song Amar pelos dois with 758 points.
