Eurovision 2024: Ticket-chaos in the first few hours of the general sale!
At 10 CET today morning, the tickets for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö were released. Malmö Arena can accommodate 15.000 spectators, but a bit after the ticket release, over 400.000 people were already queueing up in order to buy tickets for the grand final on Saturday evening, May 11.
It seems like floor standing tickets will become available at a later stage, on the second wave of ticket sale, as SVT need to get an exact capacity after accounting for cameras and set design. Same thing had happened last time the contest was hosted in Malmö Arena, back in 2o13. At the same time, fans around social media keep on complaining that all floor-standing tickets were allocated to OGAE members.
Tickets for last year’s final night in Liverpool sold-out in just 36 minutes, while this year it can be assumed that it took a bit less that 20 minutes for the final tickets to be sold-out, as there were many complains by fans that despite getting in, they couldn’t get tickets for the final show at all.

Ticketmaster can never do anything right. You’d have thought they would have learnt from their mistakes. The whole thing was a debacle. Genuine people wanting to go now can’t and tickets were listed for release at over ten times their value less than an hour later. The whole thing was laughable.
