Ticket sales for Eurovision 2017 delayed for 2 more weeks
The start date for the sales of tickets to Eurovision Song Contest 2017 remains uncertain, despite the previously announced information from the Executive producer of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, Victoria Romanova.
A guy from the UK contacted Eurovisionworld after he had a "live chat" with one of the ticket agents from Concert.ua. The agent told him:
– The official start of ticket sale is postponed for about two weeks for some reason.
Eurovisionworld has asked for a comment from the ticket agency, Concert.ua. We have asked them when we can expect the tickets to go on sale, and if the ticket sale is delayed again. The answer from Concert.ua was:
– Tickets will soon be available. The same about the information about the price ranges.
So it will be expected in February?
– We don't have any exact date yet, but it will be in mid February.
So it seems that everything about the ticket date is quite uncertain.
