Mails sent to authorized pre-registrations
Ticketcorner has now reviewed the 500,000 pre-registrations received. The ones that are authorized have received an e-mail with further instructions:
Hello xxx
Great news! Your pre-registration was successful and you can participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 online ticket sales!
The Eurovision Song Contest will take place at the St. Jakobshalle in Basel in the week of 12 May 2025 to 17 May 2025.
The first online ticket sale wave will start on 29 January 10AM CET.
You will receive a link and a unique, non-transferable, access code for the on-sale by e-mail 48 hours before sales begin.
Reminder: This link and code do not guarantee you tickets, they only allow you to participate in the on-sale. The availability of tickets is limited. Tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis while inventory lasts.
The access code is valid for a maximum of 4 tickets and for a maximum of 1 order. You are able to buy tickets for multiple shows, but at a maximum of 4 tickets in total per order/code.
For example, if you book 2 tickets in 1 order, your code will lose its validity because you already booked 2 tickets and the code is only valid for 1 order, you cannot book 4 tickets in 2 separate orders. If you want to have tickets for different shows, you need to book these in 1 order with a maximum of 4 tickets in total.
Personalization
You need to personalize your tickets during the buying process. So please keep the names of your companion ready if you buy more than one ticket. If you have to re-personalize tickets later in the upcoming months, a fee of CHF 10 is applicable per ticket

Almost 500,000 have registered for Eurovision tickets
Almost 500,000 have registered to buy tickets for the nine shows (three live shows and six rehearsals), but only 50,000 to 60,000 will get tickets.
Thomas Pittino, Eurovision Head of Marketing, estimates that a large portion of the the 500,000 are not fans:
– We have to assume that between a third and a half of the registrations are so-called bots, i.e. fake accounts. These will now be filtered out, says Thomas Pittino.
Ticketcorner will now go through all the pre-registrations and check if they meets the requirements for fair ticket sales. They compare the data from the registrations and the Ticketcorner customer account in order to exclude resellers or so-called ticket bots. Duplicate entries will be removed. Only the accounts that are authenticated will have the opportunity to participate in the tickets sale.
