UPDATE: It’s not too late: this is (was) the 2022 Eurovision ticket guide – here’s the complete guide!

Tickets for the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest went on sale on Thursday 7 April 2022 at 10:00 (CEST), but the 66th edition of the contest sold out in almost a day for both the public rehearsals and the live broadcasts. In this article, we try to give you some answers and tips on why, how to buy tickets and how to buy them officially.

In 2022, tickets for a total of 9 shows were available through the Italian TicketOne system. Tickets for the Semi-Finals and Grand Finals of the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin, as well as for the Jury Final and the Family Show, which are open to the public, were made available on 7 April 2022, but the official ticketing website did not offer tickets for many of the rehearsals before midday that day. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced on the official Eurovision Song Contest website, Eurovision.tv, that only tickets for the family rehearsals on the day of the contest were still available.

All rehearsals and live shows will take place at the PalaOlimpico stadium (Corso Sebastopoli, 123, 10134, Turin, Italy) from 9 to 14 May 2022.

The following table shows the different types of tickets and their official prices – which may be used as a basis for later prices on secondary ticket sales (the table will be updated on a regular basis based on Eurovision.tv and TicketOne data – as of 8 April 2022):

The Jury Show is a full run through of the show that takes place the night before the televised version. It’s when the international juries cast their votes for the participants.

The Family Show is a full run through of the show that takes place earlier in the day of the Live TV Show; it serves as one final rehearsal for the artists and crew, and as the name suggests, it’s much more convenient for those who wish to bring younger Eurovision fans.

The Live TV Show is exactly that: a live television show. Audiences across Europe (and Australia) will get to cast their votes to add to the Jury scores.

As a help, TicketOne has also provided a ticket map for each ticket category – to make it easier to choose (to be published soon).
