The Eurovision Song Contest tickets could be on sale as early as December.
Plans for the Liverpool contest are well underway as the city recently revealed details of an upcoming Eurovision festival There are still months to wait for the big day but there is a dominant question on fans' lips - when can we get tickets?
The answer to that question isn't so straightforward as there are nine potential events to attend. Jury and family rehearsals will give die-hard fans a first-hand look at the performers ahead of the live shows but the semi-finals and grand-final tickets are the hot commodities.

How much are Eurovision tickets?
The Jury and Family rehearsal shows are drastically cheaper than the televised events and have gone for as low as £8.59 (€10). Typically, the highest price for a pre-show ticket comes in at a maximum of £85 (€100).
Last year, the broadcast semi-finals and grand final tickets came in between £130 - £300 (€350), depending on seating arrangements. The most expensive show in the last few years was Tel Aviv with prices rising to a possible £356 (€415), with Lisbon offering the lowest price of £240 (€280).
The area closest to the stage, for last year's Turin grand final, was the maximum £300. For every 'ring' away from the stage, the price dropped by £50. The difference in cost, based on how far away you are, has varied between £10 - £40 in previous years.
Based on the figures from the last many shows, for Liverpool's contest, tickets for the televised event should fall somewhere in the region of £100 - £350. Tickets for the jury and rehearsal shows should also come in around £10 - £80.
When will Eurovision tickets go on sale?
Over the last decade, Eurovision tickets have gone on sale before January, with the only exception being the 2017, 2019 and 2022 shows.
But given the bidding period where European countries offered to host for Ukraine, followed by another pushback for which UK city would house the contest, tickets may face an early February release.
What are we waiting for?
Liverpool's M&S Arena have already been decided as the home of the contest. Now, they must decide on which ticket agency to run with before the all-important floor plan. This will dictate exactly how many tickets will go on sale after the green room, stage, camera crews and other aspects have been considered and how they affect the arena's capacity.
The Liverpool Echo has contacted the M&S Arena for an update.
