Ticketmaster reassures Eurovision fans after tickets sell out in half an hour

Ticketmaster has reassured Eurovision fans that sales were “unaffected” after tickets to the grand final sold out in just over half an hour. Fans reported technical issues as they tried to secure passes to the nine different live shows on Tuesday.

Some were met with a “500 – Internal Server Error” message when they attempted to click through to find tickets. Others reported being ejected from the virtual queue after receiving a message saying their session had expired “due to inactivity”.

A Ticketmaster spokesperson said: “The Ticketmaster site did not crash today – rather a very small number of fans experienced issues accessing the queue. Ticket sales were unaffected, and thousands of fans secured their seats for the Eurovision Song Contest, which is now sold out.”
