Just 15 minutes after the start of sales at 10.00 a.m., half of the available seats had already been sold, it said. And by 4 p.m., 99 percent of the seats had been filled.
No pre-registration was required to purchase Arena Plus tickets, which, like those for the main shows, were sold via Ticketcorner.
It is hoped that fans will be able to purchase tickets again at a later date. Due to the high demand, the organizers appeal to all fans not to buy their tickets on third-party platforms, but to search for verified tickets exclusively on the "Ticketcorner fansale" platform, according to the communiqué.
On the day of the ESC final on 17 May 2025 in the St. Jakob-Park football stadium, Arena Plus will offer an accompanying program with public viewing of the final show and a live show before the official TV broadcast. Performers will include Anna Rossinelli, DJ Antoine and Baby Lasagna.
