Eurovision tickets for displaced Ukrainians now available

Thousands of tickets are now available for displaced Ukrainians to attend the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool in May.

The Government has promised 3,000 tickets will be made available to Ukrainians forced to leave their country and find shelter in the UK - meaning they can attend and celebrate Kalush Orchestra's victory at last year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

Those who are based in the UK via the Homes for Ukraine Scheme, the Ukraine Family Scheme and the Ukraine Extension Scheme will be able to apply for tickets. Eurovision fans can attend any one of the nine shows including the jury, semi-finals or grand final.

The government recently announced a £10m package to ensure the event properly represents a modern-day, cultural Ukraine. The money will support Liverpool City Council and the BBC’s partnerships with Ukrainian artists and performers to ensure a collaborative show celebrating music and how it unites people from around the world.

It will also support security, visa arrangements and other operational aspects of the contest, as well as Liverpool City Council's schools, community and volunteering programmes.

More information can be found on the Gov.uk website or on the FAQ page.

Applications for tickets can be found here. The deadline is April 16 at 4 pm.
