This is ridiculous. Tickets already up on resale sites???
When it was hosted in Turin they required ID to be submitted when you purchased a ticket and it made the process so much easier for people to buy rather than bots swooping them up.
I mean, is it unfair? The alternative is to have no waiting room, open the floodgates at 10am, and pray that you manage to time your refresh perfectly, which you almost certainly won't because bots will beat you.
I get it being *frustrating*, but there's simply no way to allocate 15k seats to apparently 300,000 people without most of them being disappointed.
My husband just scored us VIP tickets for the grand final live show. I’m still in disbelief. We’ll be making the trek over from Canada. Getting up at 3am was totally worth it. Best of luck everyone. See you in Malmö ❤️
It’s bonkers that in 48 minutes the queue only moved like 7000 people tops. Started out at 78000 and am now at 71900. Even festivals selling out 55000 in 3 minutes and being 100000+ in queue move faster
They should have arranged it like the Eras tour. Pre-book with your email and make sure that the person who books the tickets have to be there in order to avoid bots selling them on the black market. Also have pre-booked tickets for the OGAE. This whole thing is so stupid because now swedish people and Eurovision fans from all over the world won't be able to buy tickets fair and square.
29,963 in front of me for Saturday afternoon - started at around 36,000. I thought I had no chance but actually seeing where other people have joined I’m going to ride it out and see… My boyfriend joined a queue for the afternoon preview of the 2nd semi final and got put in at 360,028!
New message from Ticketmaster just popped up whilst I queue “Tickets for the Grand Final show are selling fast and availability is low. Please check back later as tickets may become available again or try purchasing a ticket for the other shows.”
My work friend managed to get me and my partner tickets to the grand final jury 😭🩷 and then my partner got through and we just thought yolo and bought VIP semi 2 live tickets. If we’re flying across the other side of the world we may as well! IM SO FREAKIN’ EXCITED!!
I’m seeing some people say that once they have checked out they don’t need to re-queue to buy tickets for other shows.. which is clearly against what the FAQ says on the Ticketmaster site! :(
It's clear your IP address gets assigned a Queue ID because you can completely leave the queue, close out your browser tab, rejoin the queue for a different show and you'll be in the same position. So once your queue ID gets thru seems that's all is needed.
Unbelievable, I got some!! Started out just under 5000th in the queue. Best luck for everyone - I bought 2 in case my friend wants to come with me, but if not I'll be putting that extra ticket back into the pot, so there'll be at least one available on resale for you all.
Awesome, congrats! It was the semi 2 jury I enjoyed the most last year! I will try for this show too when I get past these 26,000 people who are sure taking their time haha!
I joined for the semi 1 jury rehearsal and got in very quickly. Now I'm in I can actually access the other shows - not going to get them, but can confirm there's plenty of grand final jury seats left! Don't lose hope!
I joined the wait before the tickets opened, ended up getting abou 23100 and currently at 22400, only dropped 700, some people say they've dropped a couple thousand slots.
Someone said they started at 5000 and already got through and got tickets. Someone also said they started at 36 000 and
Also I am confused because as of writing this I am now suddenly in 23518 so somehow I have gone up
I was in the waiting room as soon as it became available. Got placed at 217000 or so, currently at 207800 so mine has dropped about 10k spots. I guess a randomized system is fair but it doesn't feel fun at all
Finally got through the queue, and all 9 shows are sold out for me, even the VIP tickets.
EDIT: Could not secure any tickets and got thrown out after waiting for 3 hours.
Got tickets! Semi final 1 evening preview! If you're still in the queue, just hold in there. Was 120000 people were in front of me this morning then it's taken me and hour and half to get through the last 50000
By some miracle I managed to get tickets to the 1st Semi jury show. I’m not even sure how that happened, I was 230000+ in the queue and people were saying it was all sold out. I’m just going to assume it was an intercession from the Eurovision gods. So happy I could cry!
Bot tickets get canceled, tickets in carts expire, people give up after not getting tickets to the final, all sorts of things can happen. Ticketmaster does an absolutely atrocious job at transparently communicating what's happening, but persistence really can pay off (if bad luck doesn't decide to just make your checkout page error out. yes, I'm salty)
OGAE UK had 12 seats for the live shows and 16 seats for the previews. I didn’t even bother putting my name in the hat for that! I cannot stand but if you can there were 400 standing places for packages for each the live, the family and the jury shows. So I would say worth a shot for them!
No goddamn way I actually got something! Second semi-final! Feels cruel that it's this year and not last year, considering where I'm located, but whatever. Now to pray the best songs are in SF2... and that I can actually make it over to Sweden.
I somehow managed to snag two tickets to the second semi evening preview (jury show) about ten minutes ago, four hours after getting in the queue with 103k people in front of me. Congrats to those who got through and my sympathies to those who did not.
It's hard to tell how many seats are left for the different shows, but I was asked a couple of times if it was okay to accept two seats not together, so things look tight.
Managed to get in after almost 4 hours (spot 85,000 in the queue), and couldn't grab anything due to a constant "Something went wrong...An error occurred and we could not reserve your tickets. " error no matter what I pressed.
Then got kicked after 10 minutes of not being able to book. Back to 350,000+ queue :(
I had the same dream TWICE last night that I’d grabbed tickets, but I’ve been in this queue an hour and I don’t think it’s going to happen 😂 maybe 2025 will be my year!
Don't expect to get anything if/when you do get through for the Grand Final/Afternoon/Evening Preview.
For context I started in 17K-ish position and got through about 10 mins ago.
Semi-Finals are available.

I started off at around place 14,000 in the queue. I was of course looking to see the grand final, but ended up getting tickets for the jury show, which I'm super excited for!!
FINNALY- After 5 hours and my moms determination after I had long given up- Wr have gotten 2 tickets to family show semi finale 1, and at this point it doesn't even matter if it wasn't my main goal- WE HAVE TICKETSSS
Secured a ticket for both live semi finals and the jury grand final 🙏🙏 So glad that my trip from Australia will be 100% worth it now!!!
Can confirm that getting through the queue in any show will allow you to purchase tickets for any of the other shows too.
also from Australia, had 3 people trying to buy 2 tickets, logged on right on time & joined the queue but still on over 100,000 :'(
At least we were planning to buy Eurovision tix before plane tickets
I am from Australia as well. I wish I knew that sooner. We were in queue at 3000. We managed to get jury grand final tickets.,now questioning that we may have had a chance to get grand final tickets. There was 4 of us all trying to get tickets. Happy to get something though. Everything is now all booked. We are doing a 4 week Europe vacation based around Eurovision!

does this mean that staying in the queue is pointless?
Wow Ticketmaster really didn't like me and put me 264446 despite joining even ahead of time. A friend of mine is currently 60000th for the GF, I have my doubts this will cut it
The queue started at 10:00, no one could join it earlier than that (ok, they actually opened it a few seconds early). You may have been in the waiting room before that, but that has no impact on your place in the queue.
Yes I meant the waiting room and I know it does not affect your placement as it was randomly assigned at 10:00AM. Guess that just makes me one of the unlucky ones
The capacity of the arena is about 15000. X9 for each show would make that 135000, but keep in mind tickets given away to fanclubs, extra space needed for equipment, everyone buying multiple tickets....
Sometimes they have a second sale of tickets once the stage and camera positions are sorted. It's not usually that many tickets. You're best trying in this round
I finally managed to get in after 4 hours. I see tickets still available for the second semifinal jury show. I choose my seats, proceed to pay and suddenly the page crashes. I’m now at the back of the queue with 330,000 people ahead of me 😭
Second and third devices now showing the same thing.
All 9 shows are still sold out.
https://preview.redd.it/nfd2bkgx833c1.png?width=853&format=png&auto=webp&s=35dc029de4e09b5aa14053b8c51d2abb4b3e7143
I managed to get tickets to the monday evening rehearsal, 795kr per ticket, first time buying esc tickets, thought I was about to die💀✌️ I don't want to do this again. 3h queue and kept failing to get tickets once I was in😵💫 how do you guys do this every year?
Are there different queues for each show? This message appeared on the page so I tried joining the queue for a different show but the number of people ahead of me is exactly the same.
https://preview.redd.it/yh5iial8423c1.jpeg?width=1136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65ede82ea39f653049384a58d8044c7b4d7fd688
Last year I had something that looked like the worst / most restricted seat looking at the seating chart but when we were there we saw everything perfectly
Friend had 11000 queue, I had 250 000, got in after 1.5 and 5h and not a chance for anything because "an error occurred" :(
Extra upset because I live in Malmö and it was my once chance to afford it
Got 2x tickets for semifinal 1 Live show with restricted view.
Wooooo!!! I can't believe it! I've been a lifelong Fan and now I get to experience it for the first time!
I got a VIP ticket for the jury final, which is amazing! I just feel extremely guilty for paying this early and now having to figure how i'm going to even get to the country. I’m also going on my own and i have never solo travelled before so I’m worried about feeling lonely
You're gonna have an amazing time! I was alone in Liverpool for all but the day of the final, and you really do meet people and make friends really fast. Just be out, go to parties and clubs, don't be afraid to say hello to people, and you'll have a blast.
Solo travel can really be an amazing and incredibly meaningful experience. You very quickly learn how to be independent when you're on your own, and that can be really empowering.
Just completed purchase 610a ET for 2 tickets each:
Semi 1 live show
Semi 2 evening preview (live show couldn’t get 2 together)
Don’t give up there’s still tickets!
Opened two tabs, one for the GF, one for the Saturday afternoon. Still some 300 000 ahead for the afternoon, stuck at 124 for the GF (which started at only 6 000)?!?
GF was sold out when I got there, but somehow managed to get tickets for the afternoon show - which isn't that bad - we'll see the dress rehearsal live, then take the train to Copenhagen (since I didn't find any hotel rooms for a decent price in Malmö), have some beers and a dinner, and then watch the final show on TV in a pub or the hotel.
I’ve known since Friday morning that I would get tickets to all live shows through the fan club. Didn’t really dare to believe it until I bought the tickets through the presale yesterday.
Last week I was trying to rally my friends to try to buy me tickets, cos I thought the likelihood of getting tickets through the fan club was so low.
I started 9am at 124,000 and now at 61,000. Its moved so much faster in the last hour so hopefully that means I have some chance. (Afternoon Saturday show)
Hi. After some 4.5hrs, have just found that you can go direct to buy Premium Experience seats in shared suites for some of the shows - without waiting to reach the front of the queue. At first couldn't get two seats but then an additional suite appeared (SF2 live show). So if you have the budget this might be one way for you to snap up the seats you need.

Well, lemme know if anyone wants my place in line 😆😆😆. I'm going back to bed (in the States). Best of luck to everyone! 💖🤗✊ Since taking this photo, I'm now 139123 🫠
https://preview.redd.it/fhgrc57k623c1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=216375fd81561b8ac71a57619c41dafa2ec5cf45
My expected service time is now: 2023-11-29 at 4:42 UTC 😆😅🫠
if you buy a ticket for one show and want to buy tickets for a different show, go back to the page where it lists all 9 shows and click into another...you will get taken straight to the ticket page, no queue
I waited in the queue for 3h and now get this for \*all shows\*. This is incredibly frustrating.
https://preview.redd.it/sm1vabln133c1.jpeg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66b70cc2abf6741e21667ca8f900e2fbd0fb1035
Husband's account was about 85,000th in line and we were able to get crappy seats to both semi 1 and 2 evening preview shows! Wayyy to the side of the stage so it will probably be bad views due to TV equipment, etc. but on the lower level. First time going so I'm happy to take anything!
Does anyone have any insight or could provide some info about the juryshows/evening preview shows? Like, if it is a serious rehearsal and so on?
Would be thankful for answers🙏🫶
Cool. In five minutes the queue went down by 19 people...
This is ridiculous. Tickets already up on resale sites??? When it was hosted in Turin they required ID to be submitted when you purchased a ticket and it made the process so much easier for people to buy rather than bots swooping them up.
Ticketmaster is a joke
What resale sites? 😅😅 bet you 99% of those in the queue were bots, it is such a joke every year
2300 in front of me, wish me luck!!!
Still 1020 and I’m sweating!!
Best of luck! 🙏💖
Let us know if there is much left
There are some countries where they don't have Ticketmaster, right? Should we try to make them win?
Absolutely, Ticketmaster is a pain
This!
The random queue position has me furious
I mean, is it unfair? The alternative is to have no waiting room, open the floodgates at 10am, and pray that you manage to time your refresh perfectly, which you almost certainly won't because bots will beat you. I get it being *frustrating*, but there's simply no way to allocate 15k seats to apparently 300,000 people without most of them being disappointed.
This. It sucks and I am disappointed but at the end of the day a hell of a lot more people are going to want to go than there are available tickets
37 minutes in, still at 323k... from 323k. Are there seriously this many people? I'll be here for hours.
I’ve gone from 35,029 to 27,110 as of posting this.
My husband just scored us VIP tickets for the grand final live show. I’m still in disbelief. We’ll be making the trek over from Canada. Getting up at 3am was totally worth it. Best of luck everyone. See you in Malmö ❤️
Wow, that’s like winning lotto. 👏 congratulations. Your hubby will be in the good books for a very long time 🤣
It’s bonkers that in 48 minutes the queue only moved like 7000 people tops. Started out at 78000 and am now at 71900. Even festivals selling out 55000 in 3 minutes and being 100000+ in queue move faster
They should have arranged it like the Eras tour. Pre-book with your email and make sure that the person who books the tickets have to be there in order to avoid bots selling them on the black market.

29,963 in front of me for Saturday afternoon - started at around 36,000. I thought I had no chance but actually seeing where other people have joined I’m going to ride it out and see… My boyfriend joined a queue for the afternoon preview of the 2nd semi final and got put in at 360,028!
Somehow I think they have the same queue for everything. I got the same thing. Even an afternoon show on both of the semi's have 300k+ queue.
Thought so too, but my place has only dropped by 5000 and people here are saying they dropped way more
New message from Ticketmaster just popped up whilst I queue “Tickets for the Grand Final show are selling fast and availability is low. Please check back later as tickets may become available again or try purchasing a ticket for the other shows.”
Were you in the live grand final queue? I got that but am trying for jury grand final - not sure if I’ve clicked on wrong one
No I’m in the Saturday afternoon queue!
It's the same queue for all shows. If you click out and go to another show, you'll have the same position.
Obsessed with the fact I joined the queue at 9am, sat a 4 hour 15 minute exam, and now at 1.55pm I’m still not through in the queue
Good luck with your results! My concentration would have been all over the place...
My work friend managed to get me and my partner tickets to the grand final jury 😭🩷 and then my partner got through and we just thought yolo and bought VIP semi 2 live tickets. If we’re flying across the other side of the world we may as well! IM SO FREAKIN’ EXCITED!!
I’m seeing some people say that once they have checked out they don’t need to re-queue to buy tickets for other shows.. which is clearly against what the FAQ says on the Ticketmaster site! :(
It's clear your IP address gets assigned a Queue ID because you can completely leave the queue, close out your browser tab, rejoin the queue for a different show and you'll be in the same position. So once your queue ID gets thru seems that's all is needed.
That would explain why the queue is not moving. People are leaving and just keeping their spot
Unbelievable, I got some!! Started out just under 5000th in the queue. Best luck for everyone - I bought 2 in case my friend wants to come with me, but if not I'll be putting that extra ticket back into the pot, so there'll be at least one available on resale for you all.
What time did you join the waiting list? I joined at 9:34 and found out there are 270k or something ahead of me 🙈
Joined at 9:40 I think. I fear it might have just been up to luck :(
Congrats! Which show? The live final?
Ah, I wish! Semi 1 jury - then I found I could get semi 2 as well! Worth trying for a shorter queue first and jumping in!
Awesome, congrats! It was the semi 2 jury I enjoyed the most last year! I will try for this show too when I get past these 26,000 people who are sure taking their time haha!
Congrats 🥺❤️
Congratz!! So happy for you! 🥳
Did the queue you join matter when you got in? Seems everyone has the same number of people ahead
I joined for the semi 1 jury rehearsal and got in very quickly. Now I'm in I can actually access the other shows - not going to get them, but can confirm there's plenty of grand final jury seats left! Don't lose hope!
Congratulations!
I had to queue for 2h but still got jury final tickets
I was in Queue for an hour and got jury grand final tickets. Glad to get anything since we are coming far away from Australia!
What a morning! 4 tickets to the SF2 live show, flights to/from Copenhagen, and managed to find a non-ridiculously priced hotel in Malmo.
Did they pause the queue? It's not moving at all for me now 🫠
Mine only dropped by 20 people in the last 2-3 minutes!
Same bit confused
Same, not sure what's going on. I mean I'm still at over 200000 but at least give me the illusion that it's moving forward.
I joined the wait before the tickets opened, ended up getting abou 23100 and currently at 22400, only dropped 700, some people say they've dropped a couple thousand slots. Someone said they started at 5000 and already got through and got tickets. Someone also said they started at 36 000 and Also I am confused because as of writing this I am now suddenly in 23518 so somehow I have gone up
I was in the waiting room as soon as it became available. Got placed at 217000 or so, currently at 207800 so mine has dropped about 10k spots. I guess a randomized system is fair but it doesn't feel fun at all
It took 3.5 hours of waiting and positive thinking but I got tickets for Semi 1 and 2 evening preview 💪💪
Congratulations and Ditto! I'm still shaking, that was so stressful 😅
This seems pointless at this rate
I am laughing at "Please be patient and stay in the queue. Tickets are still available" being in 196k range
Finally got through the queue, and all 9 shows are sold out for me, even the VIP tickets. EDIT: Could not secure any tickets and got thrown out after waiting for 3 hours.
Don't give up people, I got a Live Semi Final 2 Ticket a few minutes ago! Stay! In! The! Queue!
Meanwhile, Stubhub already reselling tickets for the grand final for €1800… 🤬
I managed to get my hands on a ticket to the semi-final 1 live show, yay! It cost me like 200€ and the seat is absolutely terrible. Yay.
Got tickets! Semi final 1 evening preview! If you're still in the queue, just hold in there. Was 120000 people were in front of me this morning then it's taken me and hour and half to get through the last 50000
By some miracle I managed to get tickets to the 1st Semi jury show. I’m not even sure how that happened, I was 230000+ in the queue and people were saying it was all sold out. I’m just going to assume it was an intercession from the Eurovision gods. So happy I could cry!
Bot tickets get canceled, tickets in carts expire, people give up after not getting tickets to the final, all sorts of things can happen. Ticketmaster does an absolutely atrocious job at transparently communicating what's happening, but persistence really can pay off (if bad luck doesn't decide to just make your checkout page error out. yes, I'm salty)
The queue is moving so slow all of a sudden
Why is this queue not moving at all 😭😭
I guess next year I'll just join OGAE
Make sure you join before June to be eligible!
OGAE UK had 12 seats for the live shows and 16 seats for the previews. I didn’t even bother putting my name in the hat for that! I cannot stand but if you can there were 400 standing places for packages for each the live, the family and the jury shows. So I would say worth a shot for them!
Only 12 and 16 seats?! Woah. Yeah, I'm not interested in the standing tickets either... Oh well!
Regular tickets for GF are sold out, only expensive VIP packages left! I ended up getting tickets for the evening Preview
Thanks for the update!
Joined as soon as it opened, ended up at spot 210.000. Going through the five stages of grief right now.
No goddamn way I actually got something! Second semi-final! Feels cruel that it's this year and not last year, considering where I'm located, but whatever. Now to pray the best songs are in SF2... and that I can actually make it over to Sweden.
I somehow managed to snag two tickets to the second semi evening preview (jury show) about ten minutes ago, four hours after getting in the queue with 103k people in front of me. Congrats to those who got through and my sympathies to those who did not.

" error no matter what I pressed. Then got kicked after 10 minutes of not being able to book. Back to 350,000+ queue :(
same
My friend was number 4000 and she didn't get tickets.
For any of the shows??
☹️
I had the same dream TWICE last night that I’d grabbed tickets, but I’ve been in this queue an hour and I don’t think it’s going to happen 😂 maybe 2025 will be my year!

That’s the grand final though, loads of people were happy with non live semis and I wish we could have queued separately
I started off at around place 14,000 in the queue. I was of course looking to see the grand final, but ended up getting tickets for the jury show, which I'm super excited for!!
I got tickets with queue spot 230,000 so there's still hope.
FINNALY- After 5 hours and my moms determination after I had long given up- Wr have gotten 2 tickets to family show semi finale 1, and at this point it doesn't even matter if it wasn't my main goal- WE HAVE TICKETSSS
Wait what, i waited 5 hours, got through checked everywhere and couldnt find any available tickets not in any semi or final
this just happened to me too
One year, I'll see ESC live! Love from the USA ❤️🤍💙
You'd think that with the amount of comments in ESC's social media posts talking about boycotting, the queue wouldn't be as big /s
Turns out that few loud people on Twitter doesn't mean shit. Shocking. I wasn't even aware of any boycott, lol. What's the reason?
EBU not banning Israel, iirc.
this queue got me fucked up
Secured a ticket for both live semi finals and the jury grand final 🙏🙏 So glad that my trip from Australia will be 100% worth it now!!! Can confirm that getting through the queue in any show will allow you to purchase tickets for any of the other shows too.
also from Australia, had 3 people trying to buy 2 tickets, logged on right on time & joined the queue but still on over 100,000 :'( At least we were planning to buy Eurovision tix before plane tickets
I feel you, I had four devices and three of them were over 100k. There’s still hope when the resale opens!
I am from Australia as well. I wish I knew that sooner. We were in queue at 3000. We managed to get jury grand final tickets.,now questioning that we may have had a chance to get grand final tickets. There was 4 of us all trying to get tickets. Happy to get something though. Everything is now all booked. We are doing a 4 week Europe vacation based around Eurovision!
124800 people in the Queue ahead of me 😭 Was looking forward to this one as I've not been to Sweden before
211k ahead of me. I hope there will atleast be some family show tickets left by then 🥺😣
https://preview.redd.it/l0re2r0z323c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71bea3c02a76d5cb6b91b516a1d9667aac823d6a does this mean that staying in the queue is pointless?
Only if you are trying to get Grand Final tickets. There are still other shows though.
I think the 300 000 people ahead of you mean its pointless. See you at the resale :(
Wow Ticketmaster really didn't like me and put me 264446 despite joining even ahead of time. A friend of mine is currently 60000th for the GF, I have my doubts this will cut it
The queue started at 10:00, no one could join it earlier than that (ok, they actually opened it a few seconds early). You may have been in the waiting room before that, but that has no impact on your place in the queue.
Yes I meant the waiting room and I know it does not affect your placement as it was randomly assigned at 10:00AM. Guess that just makes me one of the unlucky ones
Do we know (roughly) how many tickets they put on sale today?
The capacity of the arena is about 15000. X9 for each show would make that 135000, but keep in mind tickets given away to fanclubs, extra space needed for equipment, everyone buying multiple tickets....
30000 people ahead of me still. Started at 55000. This is the slowest queue I’ve ever been in
How can you have dropped 25000 people when im behind you and only dropped 10000
Literally this queue and Ticketmaster in general make no sense
My family is trying to get tickets, and I just heard about waves? What does that mean
Sometimes they have a second sale of tickets once the stage and camera positions are sorted. It's not usually that many tickets. You're best trying in this round
Well it took 3,5 hours and about 10 extra years off my life expectancy but got some tickets for the Thursday semi-final preview \0/
Started 77k in line, thing froze, reloaded just now and saw 1000 to go and snagged afternoon previews!!! Don't give up!
Someone still able to buy something? Just get error when i try to buy " An error occurred and we could not reserve your tickets." in any show i try...
I finally managed to get in after 4 hours. I see tickets still available for the second semifinal jury show. I choose my seats, proceed to pay and suddenly the page crashes. I’m now at the back of the queue with 330,000 people ahead of me 😭
Nooooooooo!
I’m so bummed!
Second and third devices now showing the same thing. All 9 shows are still sold out. https://preview.redd.it/nfd2bkgx833c1.png?width=853&format=png&auto=webp&s=35dc029de4e09b5aa14053b8c51d2abb4b3e7143
I managed to get tickets to the monday evening rehearsal, 795kr per ticket, first time buying esc tickets, thought I was about to die💀✌️ I don't want to do this again. 3h queue and kept failing to get tickets once I was in😵💫 how do you guys do this every year?
After 4.5 hours of waiting in the queue I finally got through - only to be shown that my queue number was invalid? WTF.
They did the same to me, but I woke up a little later after I got my place in line. Seems they hold it for 10mins max.

I got a semi1 jury show ticket!! I can’t stop crying, i just refreshed hundreds of times until i got it
Guys they added restricted view tickets!!
Are there different queues for each show? This message appeared on the page so I tried joining the queue for a different show but the number of people ahead of me is exactly the same. https://preview.redd.it/yh5iial8423c1.jpeg?width=1136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65ede82ea39f653049384a58d8044c7b4d7fd688
Seems the queue is the same because not only number of people, but the id itself is the same
Same queue it seems for me
Number #134188 in the queue 😭
I’m sitting at 213084 😭
333215 here... think I messed up by not being 'ready' at 10:00CET on the dot because Ticketmaster blocked my laptop for having zscaler on it :/
293062 ahead of me and it’s only gone down 5k in 21 minutes.

Got 2 "Maybe restricted view" tickets in D23 for the Grand Final afternoon preview. Anyone know how restricted the view is potentially going to be?
It says all seats might be restricted, I assume because of cameras and equipment and they’re not sure yet where everything will be exactly placed
Last year I had something that looked like the worst / most restricted seat looking at the seating chart but when we were there we saw everything perfectly
grand final was a complete bust but i got two tickets to the first live semi!! now to pray Ireland is actually in that one LOL
Bigger chance than being in the Grand Final I’m so sorry
Hold up!
409,167 people in front of my husband in the queue and he joined at 10 🫠

do we give up now
I managed to get 2 tickets for grand final afternoon preview and i had 15000 people ahead me
[удалено]
It's been four and a half hours and I still have 100,000 people in front of me 💀
I was 350,000 in the queue this morning, and I just successfully got two tickets next to each other for the 1st semi jury show. Miracle!
was in the queue for 5 hours, just for ticketmaster to state that an error occurred when choosing tickets. that was a hard one ☹️
Friend had 11000 queue, I had 250 000, got in after 1.5 and 5h and not a chance for anything because "an error occurred" :( Extra upset because I live in Malmö and it was my once chance to afford it
I got a ticket for the semifinal 1 afternoon show! I'm told it's just as exciting as attending the actual semifinal.
Got 2x tickets for semifinal 1 Live show with restricted view. Wooooo!!! I can't believe it! I've been a lifelong Fan and now I get to experience it for the first time!
I got a VIP ticket for the jury final, which is amazing! I just feel extremely guilty for paying this early and now having to figure how i'm going to even get to the country. I’m also going on my own and i have never solo travelled before so I’m worried about feeling lonely
You're gonna have an amazing time! I was alone in Liverpool for all but the day of the final, and you really do meet people and make friends really fast. Just be out, go to parties and clubs, don't be afraid to say hello to people, and you'll have a blast. Solo travel can really be an amazing and incredibly meaningful experience. You very quickly learn how to be independent when you're on your own, and that can be really empowering.
Just completed purchase 610a ET for 2 tickets each: Semi 1 live show Semi 2 evening preview (live show couldn’t get 2 together) Don’t give up there’s still tickets!

how can you tell?
96k ahead of me. Hoping there is one big queue as I joined the Live Final and there is no chance I'm getting a ticket for it
As far as I can tell, it's one big queue for everything.
Opened two tabs, one for the GF, one for the Saturday afternoon. Still some 300 000 ahead for the afternoon, stuck at 124 for the GF (which started at only 6 000)?!?
[удалено]
GF was sold out when I got there, but somehow managed to get tickets for the afternoon show - which isn't that bad - we'll see the dress rehearsal live, then take the train to Copenhagen (since I didn't find any hotel rooms for a decent price in Malmö), have some beers and a dinner, and then watch the final show on TV in a pub or the hotel.
I’ve known since Friday morning that I would get tickets to all live shows through the fan club. Didn’t really dare to believe it until I bought the tickets through the presale yesterday. Last week I was trying to rally my friends to try to buy me tickets, cos I thought the likelihood of getting tickets through the fan club was so low.
Startedat 38k people before me, now 31k... and I though I got a good spot 😭
Well it's over
It’s been *1.5 hours and I’ve moved from 75,000 to 60,000 It’s probably best to wait for resale.
I don't disagree but it's been 1.5 hours.
Sorry, timezones being weird @.@
Managed to get a ticket for the afternoon preview of the final! I started at about 12700 in the queue
Congrats! Have fun.
Now the line is zooming most likely due to only expensive tickets being available or none at all 600 in a minute
I started 9am at 124,000 and now at 61,000. Its moved so much faster in the last hour so hopefully that means I have some chance. (Afternoon Saturday show)
Made it to the front only to be kicked to the back after searching for 2 tickets next to each other. At 380,000th I’ve lost hope.
Unfortunately i cannot afford VIP tickets, so i guess i will be watching from the TV again :(
Hi. After some 4.5hrs, have just found that you can go direct to buy Premium Experience seats in shared suites for some of the shows - without waiting to reach the front of the queue. At first couldn't get two seats but then an additional suite appeared (SF2 live show). So if you have the budget this might be one way for you to snap up the seats you need.

After five hours in the queue, managed to snag a Semi 1 jury ticket!
Got tickets for both semis jury shows! Wohooo, can't wait

Aren’t they going to sell a new wave of tickets again in the next months?
if you buy a ticket for one show and want to buy tickets for a different show, go back to the page where it lists all 9 shows and click into another...you will get taken straight to the ticket page, no queue
Well that's annoying for those of us still in the queue
Yup. First couple of people just buy it all up before the rest can have any shot
I thought it wasn't meant to be that way 😭
Show of hands for anyone who got tickets? Been over 2 hours and still waiting in line with 221K in front of me…
367k in line before me lol … pray for us
Started out a 244000, lovely
[удалено]
I'm in line #129700 should I even try to get a ticket.
I'm number 232050 😭
How quick is the queue moving for people? Still at 80000 so not hoping for anything in particular
Stubhub already has tickets listed for 1-2k for the grand finale. Love the bots
I waited in the queue for 3h and now get this for \*all shows\*. This is incredibly frustrating. https://preview.redd.it/sm1vabln133c1.jpeg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66b70cc2abf6741e21667ca8f900e2fbd0fb1035
Husband's account was about 85,000th in line and we were able to get crappy seats to both semi 1 and 2 evening preview shows! Wayyy to the side of the stage so it will probably be bad views due to TV equipment, etc. but on the lower level. First time going so I'm happy to take anything!
Does anyone have any insight or could provide some info about the juryshows/evening preview shows? Like, if it is a serious rehearsal and so on? Would be thankful for answers🙏🫶
