Organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 have confirmed that the final batch of tickets for the shows in Vienna will be released on 26 March. This will be the last opportunity for fans to secure seats for the live broadcasts and rehearsals after previous sales waves sold out rapidly.
Final Chance to Attend in Vienna
Earlier ticket releases for the contest, including shows for both semi-finals and the Grand Final, were purchased in record time, leaving many registered fans without tickets.
The upcoming sale will include remaining seats across the nine shows: the two semi-finals, the Grand Final, and their associated jury and family rehearsals.
As with earlier rounds, tickets are expected to be sold through the official ticketing platform, with access typically limited to fans who completed pre-registration beforehand. Organisers have previously used unique access codes to manage demand and prevent overcrowding during sales.
All About Eurovision 2026
The journey to the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest kicked off immediately following JJ’s win in Basel, when Austria’s ORF accepted the rights to host the 70th edition of the contest. The bidding process started in June, with interested cities having until July 4 to submit their bid book. Innsbruck and Vienna were shortlisted, with the latter winning the right to host next year’s contest. 35 countries will take part in the competition, the lowest number of competing entries since 2004.
As for the organisation of the competition, the ‘core team‘ was revealed in June 2025, with further details about next year’s competition to be revealed in due course. The shows will take place on May 12th, 14th and 16th.
