The Live Shows are exactly that: Live television shows. Audiences across Europe and Australia will get to cast their votes to add to the Jury scores.
Evening/Jury Rehearsals
The Evening/Jury Rehearsals take place on the evening before the Live Shows. The rehearsals will not be broadcast, but all the national juries will watch the show, and will cast their votes based on this show.
The rehearsals will be exact copies of the live shows, including opening act and interval acts, except the voting part (there will be some kind of simulated pseudo voting though).
The pre-qualified countries will perform during the Semi-final Evening/Jury rehearsals, and a clip of their performances will be shown at the next evening's live Semi-finals.
Family Rehearsals
The last rehearsals before the live shows, take place in the afternoon on the same day as the live shows. They are also called "Family Shows" but will not be broadcast, as they are only rehearsals.
The rehearsals will be exact copies of the live shows, including opening act and interval acts, except the voting part.
Who's in which Semi-final?
The semi-final allocation draw for Eurovision Song Contest 2023 took place on 31 January at St. George’s Hall in Liverpool. The draw determined which countries are allocated to which of the two semi-finals.

Still no news about Eurovision tickets
The organiser and broadcaster of Eurovision 2023, the BBC, announced that tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 were expected to go on sale late in February. That obviously didn't happen. The announcement was made after the semi-final allocation draw back in January.
The EBU (European Broadcasting Union) later changed it to: "More information on tickets will be released towards the end of February". We have serious doubts about this one as well, with just a few hours left in February.
As soon as there are any updates regarding tickets, particularly when they go on sale, we will keep you informed on this page.
