Britain is hosting the 67th contest on behalf
of Ukraine, the winner of the 2022 competition that was ruled
out from hosting because of the ongoing conflict there.
The European Broadcasting Union asked Britain, which was the
2022 runner-up, to step in.
Tickets for the grand final were priced between 160 pounds and
380 pounds ($192-456), while tickets for the two semi-finals
were priced between 90 pounds and 290 pounds.
Around 3,000 tickets for a total of nine shows - six previews,
two semi-finals and the grand final - will be made available for
displaced Ukrainians for a charge of 20 pounds per sale, the
British government said last month.
