Don’t get it twisted. But do get it ticketed. Organisers behind the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 have announced that TicketCorner — a Swiss ticketing platform — will be the official ticketing partner for Eurovision 2025 in Basel.
You’ll need to register in order to buy tickets for the contest in May. The EBU states that this “will help prevent tickets being resold and ensure that as many Eurovision fans as possible get the chance to watch the live shows.”

If you don’t snag tickets, or don’t want to pay those prices, don’t worry! Organisers have announced an “Arena Plus” viewing for the public during the grand final on Saturday 17 May.
The EBU says: “Basel’s legendary football stadium St. Jakob Park (known locally as ‘Joggeli’) will play host to the big event. As well as screening the Grand Final, the evening also promises an extensive programme of entertainment. Further details will be announced in due course.”
