Crumbs, having sold my children into slavery just to buy tickets for the semi (that was all I could get) I was in a horrible dilemma as to whether I should sell my house too so that i could attend the final. Prostitution is no longer an option at my age. Happily they were all gone anyway. It feels a bit odd to go to Finland just for the semi, but that where all the best songs are. I'll be on the look out for a big screen on saturday.

Why does it have to be this difficult? You'd think after 52 attempts, someone would have got the hang of how to sell tickets to an international event like this.

PS - Anyone think the semi will be a sell-out this year? There were plenty of seats last year so I'm thinking I'll try and get tickets from the venue just before. Maybe that way I won't have to buy tickets to three rehearsals. I admit, given the choice I'd end up going to them (I've paid - I'm going), but my other half would go mad at me for watching the same show 5 times and probably suffocate me in my sleep in the hotel room!

i think the finnish organisation is kind of strange..i rememeber back then in 2005 one could perfectly buy his tickets online and that many times......let us hope we will see a good contest this year....i hope yes!

> why make people people from other countries
> pay an expensive international

I can call Finland for one Euro cent per minute (plus tax). No big deal.

if someone is lucky to get the tickets, i have heard there are some cancellations in hotels too starting from 185 eur/room / night in citycenter. mail directly to email=admin@eurovision-helsinki.net]admin@eurovision-helsinki.net/email] and ask if something still available, i just received my final confirmation from them.

yes mark we understand that but fans were only given 4 days to finalise the purchase of their tickets, so why wasnt the rule the same in this case

Repeating myself but there isn't anything unusual here... it's common there are tickets returning, according to YLE News these ones were pre-bookes by foreign groups.
And of course most of tickets go to local people anywhere.

this is rather annoying... these new seats are no doubt better than the ones sold to us fans at the beginning... But who can now pay for a last minute flight and hotel booking? The Rothschilds perhaps...

That's what always happen, tickets returned from the partners, companies etc.
There must be some reason for not selling final tickets on line- black markets?

why have they left it so long to release these tickets! and why make people people from other countries pay an expensive international call if they want tickets for the final, the interent would be best way for all tickets to be sold
