Tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 for all nine shows sold out in record time
All currently available tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 are officially sold out! Even in its 70th year, this proves the extraordinary popularity of the competition and its enduring power to bring people together. The huge interest in the TV shows has set a new record: the final sold out within 14 minutes, and the two semi-finals within 20 minutes.
Martin Green CBE, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest, said: "The response has been phenomenal. Seeing every single show sell out so quickly is a powerful reminder of what the Eurovision Song Contest stands for – joy, unity, and shared experiences, especially at a time when that is more important than ever. For those who registered and were unable to get tickets for their preferred show, there will be further opportunities later in the spring. And for fans who want to experience the Eurovision Song Contest closer to home, there will be an exciting announcement very soon."
The Executive Producer of the host broadcaster ORF, Michael Krön, added: „The overwhelming interest in all nine shows confirms once again: The Eurovision Song Contest continues to unite people even after seven decades, which is wonderful to see and of course motivates us even more to deliver the best show. I thank our partner oeticket for the smooth handling of the ticket sales 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.“
ORF will cover the events in all their diversity and bring the atmosphere into households around the world in the best quality. Fans in all countries will be able to vote for their favorite songs.
35 public broadcasting stations will send songs and artists to compete in the Wiener Stadthalle in two semifinals and the final on May 12th, 14th, and 16th.
The draw, which determines in which semifinal the 35 broadcasting stations will perform and vote, took place on Monday, January 12th, 2026, at Vienna City Hall.
