Eurovision 2018 News!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the tickets reserved for the OGAE members were just in the so called "Golden Circle" - A standing audience area that is represented by the light grey "inside" the stage in that picture. The prices are higher than normal tickets.

Makes sense! I have message BlueTicket and they have confirmed the maximum amount of tickets in one transaction is 4, for anybody wanting to know. I have also asked them about price/tier categories but they have not responded to that yet!

No, OGAE got tickes through all categories, but too less to fulfill all wishes. Was not lucky in the draw by our OGAE so trying tomorrow :-)

BlueTicket announced that tomorrow the only tickets that will be sold will be for the standing audience and the golden circle.

Not much hope for getting tickets today... my queue number is 2694... At the moment 2410 ahead of me...

That's not to high, I'm the 17681 :´D

 

[Gabe]

Tickets all sold out, even people at 500 in the queue didn't get any. That means the average purchase was 8 tickets per person.

The touts have had a field day with this. What a disgrace.

Yeah.... the last years have been the same....

The Queue is random before the starting time: https://queue-it.com/what-is-this/?...6fae&language=en-GB&hostUrl=www.blueticket.PT

So, don't acess the site before they start selling tickets or you will have a random number.

How does that even work? They probably should have some kind of agreement with ticket seller to get those. If those people who joined even on first minutes didn't get any, how could tauts do that then? Some connection tricks?

 

[Dark]

There were other sites and physical locations selling the tickets, like FNAC, Corte Inglês and Worten.

Btw, fnac also sells online, so I recommend you to buy them there.

Touts basically set up armies of bots, because then the chances are one of them will end up front of the queue.

 

[Dark]

RTP just said that they sold almost 2000 tickets today.

 

[ParadiseES]

I got like 13.600 or so and I was even lucky, cause I know people who got more than 40.000

 

[DanielLuis]

Once again Jon Ola Sand has praised RTP's work, saying that they are not only on schedule but actually even ahead of schedule in some of the matters of the hosting of the contest.

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that Florian Wieder is designing the Lisbon stage.

Meh xboring not a big fan of his work

I pray for a square-shaped stage (like 2012 or 2016) as I'm sick of round ones personally. If that guy could go out of his comfort zone, that'd be good.

We already have the arena plan and I'm sorry to say we won't be having a round stage.

So it's a round one again... Nevermind. Maybe next time?
Of course, it doesn't have any impact on the quality of the shows, but it's nice to see other shapes from time to time. Stockholm 2016 was so refreshing in this regard to me.
I look forward to the overall structure that'll go with it anyway.
