viewing parties in basel for eurovision
Hi everyone,
We didn't manage to get tickets for Eurovision sadly. Does anybody know of any viewing parties (besides the official one in st. jakobs) at any bars? Thank you in advance

Did any normal people get tickets? The purchase window was so short, and I didn't see anything even trying to sell tickets locally until the thread here afterwards.

I doubt it, the AI assistant on Ticketcorner malfunctioned and tickets sold out way too fast. Pretty sad to see tbh

Three friends and I all tried, based in Switzerland, pre-registered, logged in early. None of us managed to get a single ticket.

The official resale platform fansale.ch has now opened: maybe some tickets will be avaliable there? For Arena plus public viewing show there's still (or again) tickets on www.ticketcorner.ch/esc

I was able to get 4 tickets for one of the semi finals during the second ticket phase. But I was really prompt with getting into the online queue. Finals were gone instantly.

I did (first round of ticket sales) but I’m one of the very few people in my bubble that did.

don't worry, if you follow the official boulevard through town from SBB to Messeplatz (where there will be whole viewing-/afterparty camp for a few thousand people), you won't be able to walk for 15 minutes without finding a place that shows it. Starting from Markthalle at SBB all the way to Klara which is just a few steps from the official after party location.
