ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted May 15, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted May 15, 2022 Those of y'all who have attended a Eurovision in person, how hard is the process to make it all happen? I think I make enough money now that I can afford the week's trip in Europe. Are getting tickets hard? I'm sure the grand finale is extremely hard to get tickets for, but what about the final jury show or the semi finals? How far in advance to you book hotels/flights? If anyone has some advice moving forward, let me know (here or PM is fine) because this would obviously be an amazing experience to have.

Aquamarine Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Can Turkey please return? I get that the country is a shitshow politically but they always kinda slayed in the contest

Versayce Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 It's not going to take place in Ukraine. I think one of the Big 5 will host. UK or Spain.
igninton Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 Do you really think the EBU is going to risk hosting it next year in Ukraine fully knowing that it could be on Russia's target and put all performers and delegations in danger (regardless of how/if the conflict ends)? If they end up hosting it in Ukraine I can see some delegations withdrawing for the year for security concerns.
Benjamin Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) I'm surprised they're even able to afford to host it, regardless of the status of the war next year. Edit: Because of the cost of rebuilding afterwards being more of a priority than hosting Eurovision I mean. Edited May 17, 2022 by Benjamin
Gogetonthebus Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 It will likely be a Big 5 country, but there is an outside chance that Poland could host (if the Big 5 agree to provide additional support). It would make logistical sense for the Ukrainian broadcaster, and showcase their relationship.

Blackthorn Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 I hope none of the runner-ups get to host I can already imagine dumbasses say "we get to host therefore we're the REAL winners "
Cloudy Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 It would be nice if it was hold in Moldova since they are neighbours and I think they never hosted. It would be big for such a small country

If anyone has some advice moving forward, let me know (here or PM is fine) because this would obviously be an amazing experience to have. It really varies from year to year tbh. I went to Lisbon in 2018 and managed to get Grand Final tickets and lucked into an extra ticket to Semi-Final 1. (Was supposed to go in 2020 too, but...) The family and jury shows are definitely easier to get than the live shows, but it's the luck of the draw when they go on sale. I'd recommend joining your country's OGAE and being active, as they get a special batch of tickets released to them each year. As far as hotels/flights, I'd recommend booking a refundable hotel as soon as the dates/host city are announced. Prices will skyrocket quickly due to demand, but there will be people who cancel later on because they were unable to get tickets or their plans changed. Flights will vary, because depending on location, you may be able to fly into cheaper destination and take a train to the host city. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions! Seeing the live shows was fun, but the entire week with other fans in beautiful Lisbon was a lifetime highlight for me.

I'll join the rest of the world OGAE soon and keep my eyes open. As soon as the host location is set, I'll try to buy the hotel and start tracking plane tickets prices for around the area. I'll definitely keep you in mind if I have any questions moving forward!

Be as quick as possible, some people even book different hotels in different cities when the host country is announced and then when the host city is officially announced they cancel the other ones and book the flights straight away because as soon as the host city is announced the prices will skyrocket (both for flights and accommodations) and most accommodations will be booked within the day.
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted May 30, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted May 30, 2022 I'm watching Eurovision 2017 for the first time and while I have my full thoughts later, I just want to know how on earth Germany wasn't disqualified for it's obvious copying of Titanium?

Legindvina serving us more of the same when she unveiled her “big revamp” of the song was such a kii too Even better was when she said “I guess it will be another 2 years before Germany does well at Eurovision, and then they came top 5 the following year she has now changed her stage name and wiped all mention of Eurovision from her socials! I’ve been walking asleep Dreaming awake Finding I bend but I don’t break
ZIVERT Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 When the US and the UK agree to institute a no fly zone over Kyiv so that we can host Eurovision safely next year
