YLE informs today, that tickets for the Eurovision event next May in Helsinki will be on sale by mid-December. The start of the sales will be announced in good time before and information will be posted on YLE’s Eurovision web site.
Tickets will be sold for the semifinal on 10th May, the final on 12th May and dress rehearsals. All in all tickets will be sold to eight separate events open for the public. The program in dress rehearsals will be the same as the actual event, apart from the voting naturally.
Tickets sales can be started, when all the stage arrangements for the venue have been finalised. Tickets sales will be arranged so, that as many as possible Finns will be able to buy tickets. About a third of the tickets will be sold abroad. The ticket prices will follow the pricing of the Athens Eurovision this year, which also is the official line of the European Broadcasting Union, EBU.
