There is, without a doubt, an enormous interest when it comes to tickets for the nine ESC shows at the Wiener Stadthalle. Therefore, an established multi-stage system is being implemented to ensure that ticket sales are as orderly, fair, and secure as possible. 

How can I purchase ESC tickets?

A multi-stage ticketing system of this kind is commonly used for events of this magnitude. It involves a registration, activation, and ticket sales phase. The registration phase is currently underway: Interested fans are asked to register online by December 18, 2025 (11:59 p.m.) in order to be eligible for ticket sales at a later date. Only once registration has been successfully completed, tickets will be available for purchase during one of several rounds. 

The first wave of sales will start on January 13, 2026 (1 p.m.), the day after the semifinal draw, when it will be clear which countries will compete in which semifinal. Based on the first come, first served principle, a maximum of 4 tickets can be purchased per registered person. If the ticket allocation is sold out due to high demand during the first wave of sales, users can participate in one of the next rounds with a registration code.

Please note: Registration and ticket purchases are only possible via the official websites eurovision.com and oeticket.com.

The aim of this process is to ensure transparent and fair access to tickets and to prevent bot purchases or commercial resales. Please be aware that only by purchasing tickets through official sales channels you can be sure of obtaining a valid ticket for the event. Do not use any other sales channels under any circumstances.

Which ESC shows can I attend?

Around 100,000 fans will be in attendance during the nine ESC shows at the Wiener Stadthalle. For each of the three TV shows (semi-finals 1 + 2 and the final), a live show, an evening preview show the night before (a complete run-through, during which the international juries cast their votes) and an afternoon preview show on the afternoon of the live shows (a complete run-through, a dress rehearsal for the artists) will take place.

Tickets for the afternoon shows start at 15 euros. The most expensive ticket (the Golden Circle ticket for the Grand Finale directly in front of the stage) costs 360 euros.
