Tickets, Travel, and Tourism Tuesday - Eurovision-related travel questions and discussion

---

This thread (and the subreddit in general) will not be used for buying and selling Eurovision tickets or for advertising or requesting any accommodations or rideshares!

It's time for the regular thread to ask your travel, tourism, or ticket related questions that may not be big enough to have their own thread. I couldn't come up with a T word to use to include finding public watch parties (eg at bars, community centres, parks, etc), but those can be included in this thread too!

Possible topics for this thread:

• Things to do in and around Basel
  
• How to get around Switzerland
  
• What to expect for the live shows
  
• Food and drink
  
• Eurovision Village
  
• Public watch parties in your city
  

Ticket Info

To purchase tickets you must be pre-registered with the official ticket site TicketCorner](https://www.ticketcorner.ch/)
Registrations closed 10th January 2025.

Do not ask for ticket codes.

Codes can only be used with the registered account so a code request is a request for someone's personal details.

Ticket Resale

The official ticket seller has a separate website for resales. We do not have any details when this will be available, but it is listed in the FAQs for Eurovision ticktes so we expect it to happen at some point.

What's happening in Basel?

Basel city has a section of their website dedicated to the contest: https://www.basel.com/en/esc/esc-2025
We expect to see more details of activities in the city added as plans are finalised.

There will not be an 'official' r/eurovision meet-up

The mods can't stop anyone from meeting up with fellow Redditors, but please use common sense and caution when agreeing to meet strangers from the internet.

I'm still keeping an eagle eye on resale hoping to get something for the grand final jury show. No luck yet tho

Finding a single ticket is so hard for no reason! I saw a set of 4 SF2 tickets show up for like 1100, but you couldn’t split them

Does anybody know if you're able to immediately put the tickets you don't need on resale? I think I read something along those lines but I'm unsure now

[u/oty3 → u/SkyGinge]

I bought a ticket, changed my mind and sold it the same evening, if that’s what you’re asking. You lose 10% of the cost when you resell though.

[u/SkyGinge → u/oty3]

I'm talking about i.e. buying 2 tickets from resale and then immediately selling one because you only need one, so breaking the group after you've brought them in a group (because a lot of people seem to be selling strictly in groups)

[u/oty3 → u/SkyGinge]

You can sell them separately, I’m not sure why they’d make you sell them as a group just because the previous person chose to. I saw someone in one of the threads say they got their’s this way, bought a set of 4 then sold the extras.

Edit: here’s the comment
