On Wednesday, it took only seven minutes for all the tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest live shows in Basel to be sold out. The tickets for the unofficial preview shows for the ESC were also sold out within 20 minutes.

In the first wave, a total of 42,000 tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel were sold, according to the SRG, the Swiss host broadcaster. However, panic among ESC fans is premature: further sales waves are to follow.

Eurovision Song Contest: Pre-Show with Public Viewing at St. Jakob-Park

The ESC program in Basel starts with the opening ceremony on May 11. This is followed by the two semi-finals, with Austria competing in the 2nd semi-final on May 15. And finally, the world's largest music competition culminates with the grand finale on May 17 at the St. Jakobshalle. In between, six "Preview Shows" also take place at the St. Jakobshalle. The ticket costs varied depending on the event and seat category in a price range from 40 to 350 francs (42 to 371 euros). On the final day, a pre-show followed by a public viewing of the finale titled "Arena Plus" will take place at the St. Jakob-Park football stadium. Live acts already announced include performances by Anna Rossinelli, DJ Antoine, and Baby Lasagna. The tickets for this will go on sale on Thursday, with the Arena Plus accommodating 36,000 spectators.
