Eurovision 2009: tickets to be released soon

-
UPDATE: CLICK HERE.

Although originally scheduled for the 12th March, ticket release for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest will probably be postponed for the 16th March 2009 according to ESC Today. Unlike in recent years, there will be no packages but tickets can be purchased individually. Prices, for those who have been following the contest these past years, are back to Helsinki levels. This year's contest will be held at the Olympiinski Arena in Moscow, which after the modifications for the stage will be able to accommodate about 15.000 spectators per show.

There will be ten different pricing categories for the tickets of the 2009 according to the location of the seats. Prices will range from about €20 for the semi final dress rehearsals to up about €650 for the VIP tickets to the final. An average price for the semi final dress rehearsals will be about €15, the final dress rehearsal €25, €95 for each of the semi finals and €150 for the final.

Tickets will be sold online through www.eurovision.1tv.ru and Eventim International. Interested fans should be warned that already at least one other website, different to the ones mentioned above, has come to our attention claiming to be selling Eurovision Song Contest 2009 tickets but it is not legal nor authorised to do so.

The exact date for the release of the tickets will be soon confirmed.

As a national selection, they will use a contest which stopped years ago, called Akordet e Kosoves . The question remains whether RTK will be able to get active EBU membership, since countries like Serbia, Russia and Greece can object, as they don't recognise the new Republic of Kosovo.
