Tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 have sold out in record time, underlining the Contest’s extraordinary popularity and continued power to bring audiences together as it celebrates its 70th edition.
The Grand Final in Vienna in May sold out 14 minutes after going on sale with all Semi-Final tickets gone in 20 minutes.
Fans also snapped up tickets for the two Preview Shows for each Semi-Final and the Grand Final.
All available tickets were sold out one hour after the sale began.
The Wiener Stadthalle, where the 70th Contest will be held, has the largest capacity of a Eurovision venue for several years.
Martin Green CBE (Eurovision Song Contest Director) says:
The response has been phenomenal. To see every single show sell out so quickly is a powerful reminder of what the Eurovision Song Contest represents – joy, togetherness, and shared experience at a time when that feels more important than ever. For those who registered and didn’t manage to secure tickets for their preferred show, there will be more opportunities later in the spring. And for fans who want to experience the Eurovision Song Contest closer to home look out for an exciting announcement very soon.
Michael Kroner ( ESC 2026 Executive Producer/ ORF) says:
The overwhelming interest in all nine shows impressively confirms that the Eurovision Song Contest still brings people together even after seven decades. It’s wonderful to see and motivates us all the more to deliver a truly special show. I would like to thank our partner oeticket for the smooth handling, and we look forward to celebrating a festival of music and joy with fans from all over the world in May at the Wiener Stadthalle.
