We’re still months away from the contest to be held in Portugal’s capital, Lisbon, but we now know more about the first wave of ticket sales. The first wave of tickets will include Grand Final tickets, as well as the two rehearsals. The first wave will begin on the 30th of November starting at 11:00 CET with prices ranging between €35 and €299.
If you’re interested in tickets for the semi-finals, you’ll have to wait a bit longer, with sales of the semi tickets to take place in January after the Semi-Final Allocation Draw to determine which nations will compete in which semi-finals.
Carla Bugalho, the Deputy Executive Producer of Eurovision 2018 has said, ‘RTP is very pleased to announce the beginning of the ticket sale for the first Eurovision Song Contest hosted in Portugal. We will have 3 outstanding and distinctive shows and everyone that doesn’t get their tickets now, will have other opportunities very soon’
If you’re a part of an OGAE fan group, you might be able to avoid the online queues for tickets, a 1700 tickets across all six evening shows will be allocated to OGAE. These will form packages for the members, and details on how these packages can be purchased will be announced to the OGAE members separately, so keep an eye out on your individual OGAE pages.
The tickets will be sold on the official ticketing website Blueticket.pt
