The Austrian national broadcaster, ORF, and the EBU have relased details on the Eurovision 2026 ticket sales and the pre-registration mechanism.
The EBU has launched a new website, eurovision.com where the Eurovision fans are invited to create a Eurofan account, hereafter they can register for the Eurovision 2026 tickets.
The Registration for the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest is now open! You can register for your ESC 2026 tickets until 18 December 2025.
Please take into account that you have to register to both eurovision.com and oeticket.com with the same email address.
How it works?
- To get started, you need to create a free Eurofan account on eurovision.com.
- Once you have verified your Eurofan account, check your email for info on how to register with our official ticket partner oeticket.com. Make sure you use the same email address to register for both your Eurofan and oeticket accounts.
