Tickets for all nine shows of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest – including dress rehearsals and daytime concerts – sold out in just one hour. The rapid sell-out is notably impressive given that this year’s venue, the Wiener Stadthalle, is one of the largest arenas in the contest’s recent history.
eurovision Director Martin Green highlighted the overwhelming response as a strong testament to the contest’s values – joy and togetherness – which he says are more important now than ever. For the host broadcaster, Austria’s ORF, the high level of interest is a fantastic motivator to create something truly special in May.
Is There Still Hope?
those who missed out on tickets today shouldn’t give up entirely. Organizers say a small number of additional tickets may become available in mid-spring, typically after final approval of technical plans and stage layouts. They also promise an captivating announcement soon regarding further opportunities to attend.
