Eurovision 2023 News

[Penelope]

Also I'm not being funny but there is very much a GREATER EVIL out of 'a lot of people being unable to go to shows on sheer cost grounds' versus 'some rehearsal shows being half empty because tickets to the live shows are accessible to enough people'!

 

[ILL ADVISED]

 

[Soldi]

Megabus it is for all the Eurofans then!

 

[Iguana]

All trains to be diverted to Cardiff.

 

[Soldi]

Cardiff is out.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Cardiff is out.

Obligatory @Pingu tag

For those intending to try for tickets tomorrow, Ticketmaster are seemingly asking everyone to update their passwords and link a phone to their account.

 

[jyxz]

*as in do it now so you don’t have heart failure when you log in tomorrow

Only one account allowed per phone maybe?

 

[Soldi]

I’ve also realised the card I had saved to the account is an expired one!

 

[jyxz]

To beat the bots allegedly

 

[Kratz]

Oh I thought it was Wednesday LOL

 

[funky]

I have anxiety for everyone. I really hope you all get tickets!

Would you come to Liverpool if you didn’t get tickets? Like do people still go for the festivities? I’m assuming it’s huge in every Eurovision but fucking hell this taking OVER the city.

As I’ve mentioned before my cousin is the project manager on it and she’s run some massive events in Liverpool over the years, and she says this is the biggest project she’s ever done.

 

[Lucille]

I’m thinking maybe going for the daytime tickets, my friend is concerned we won’t be able to get pissed enough in the stadium.

 

[Soldi]

We’re aiming for the semi-final “jury” shows.

 

[jyxz]

For those that have been before. I’m either aiming for the Fri night jury final or the Sat matinee Family final. Looks like the only difference is the Fri show has a mock up with simulated scores? I’m guessing I can live without that?

 

[Sheena]

So what do I actually have to do? Be up to date on Ticketmaster and that’s it?

Is there a waiting room? Do I need to be in it an hour in advance or something stupid?

 

[AlgoAlex]

It doesn't even show as an event yet or am I missing something ?

 

[Soldi]

Is there a waiting room? Do I need to be in it an hour in advance or something stupid?

I don’t think anyone seems to know !

 

[Lucille]

You can join the waiting room before then you’re randomly allocated a position at 12 by the gay gods.

 

[Lucille]

My anxiety is already THROUGH THE ROOF.

 

[jyxz]

My anxiety is already THROUGH THE ROOF.

I’m still trying to formulate a plan, but my teammates are being ARSEHOLES

 

[Soldi]

What time does the waiting room OPEN?

 

[Lucille]

With Beyoncé tickets I think like 30 mins before? I don’t think it matters what time you enter the wait room though?

 

[Kratz]

This is going to make Beyonce look like a Tina Barrett gig

 

[jyxz]

What time does the waiting room OPEN?

How the Smart Queue works:

1. Go to Ticketmaster and locate the event* you want to shop for.
2. Join the Waiting Room at least 10 minutes prior to the event going on sale.
3. When the sale begins, the Queue will open and you’ll be given a place in line.
4. Once it’s your turn to shop, choose your tickets and then proceed to checkout.
   
   Please note, that during high-demand sales, tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and not guaranteed.

* Events using the Smart Queue may vary due to traffic and demand that impact wait times.



For a smoother shopping experience, we recommend…

• Signing in to your Ticketmaster account at least 10 minutes in advance of joining the Waiting Room. This will speed up your purchase later.
• Confirming you have a valid form of payment in your account with your current email and billing information. This will make checkout a breeze.
• If you need to step away, turn up the volume on your device so when it’s your turn, you hear the Queue notification bell.

 

[jyxz]

So 20 mins?

Sign in 10 mins before joining the queue and join the queue 10 mins before the event going on sale.

 

[lolly]

Is this all really necessary? Can't we send out @funky in a sleeping bag to sleep on the streets for us outside a box office somewhere like the old days?

I’M ON IT

Just structure the drinking like it's Christmas Day, basically.

 

[Soldi]

I don’t think I was sober at any point in Turin.

 

[funky]

I don’t think I was sober at any point in 2022.

Fixed it.

 

[Lucille]

Has the POP-UP EURO-SAUNA been announced yet?

 

[funky]

Has the POP-UP EURO-SAUNA been announced yet?

Planning on sharing my address nearer the time.

 

[Lucille]

Ok but I’m not bending over until I hear everyone’s SPICIEST TAKES on LITTLE SUSAN.

 

[Penelope]

I don’t think I was sober at any point in Turin.

Just as long as you remembered to note down VAT NUMBER AND INSURANCE DETAILS each time one of those seemingly kindly and overtly welcoming and gregarious locals turned out to have sinister plans to Laurelll your Barker the entire time all over again

 

[funky]

seemingly kindly and overtly welcoming and gregarious locals

me in just two months

 

[Sheena]

I've requested a new password code three times and nothing has come through.

FFS!

 

[Sheena]

Oh, hold on, all three just came through at the same time

AS YOU WERE

 

[D5K]

Oh, hold on, all three just came through at the same time

AS YOU WERE

Same for me; think the system's already under a bit of strain.
