UK Eurovision 2023 tickets for Liverpool live shows go on sale today - how to get tickets

Eurovision tickets will go on general sale today - with nine live shows giving music fans plenty of opportunity to catch a slice of the annual competition.

Those who are eager to see one of six previews and three TV shows at Liverpool's ACC arena can head to Ticketmaster from noon onwards come Tuesday, March 7.

It is understood that tickets range between £30 and £290 for the semi-final shows, while the grand finals will set punters back between £80 and £380. The event will land in Liverpool after the UK was chosen to host Eurovision 2023 on behalf of war-torn Ukraine, who won last year's competition.

You will need a Ticketmaster account should you wish to bag tickets, and you'll only be able to purchase them for one show at a time. Tickets are also capped at four per purchase for the live shows, and six for the previews.

Ukrainians living in the UK via the Homes for Ukraine scheme, the Ukraine Family Scheme and the Ukraine Extension Scheme will also be able to apply for cheaper tickets for the events. The Government will reportedly subsidise around 3,000 tickets in total for those who fled their country following Russia's invasion in February last year.

These tickets will cost £20 after discounts.

Eurovision is set to air on the BBC and will be hosted by Alesha Dixon, Hannah Waddingham and Julia Sanina - alongside returning favourite Graham Norton.

The semi-final preview will kick off the contest on May 8 at 8pm, while the grand final will be on May 13 at 8pm.
