Tickets for the finals of the Eurovision song contest, which will take place in the ACC conference center in Liverpool, were sold out within half an hour. Event organizers said on Thursday amid exceptionally high demand.
Ticket sales began on Tuesday, but those for both the semi-finals and finals of the popular contest were sold out in a space of 90 minutes.
The first semi-finals concert will be held on May 9 and will include Israeli star Noa Kirel with her song "Unicorn" which she wrote with Doron Medley who also was also behind Netta Barzilay's "Toy," winner of the 2018 contest, as well as Maya Sfadia and produced by Yinon Yahel.
The song is reportedly about woman's empowerment and includes some Hebrew words in the primarily English lyrics. "We've written a song I'm personally excited for," said Kirel.
While Ukraine was originally supposed to host this year's edition, the event was moved to England because of the ongoing war that has been raging since February of 2022, when Russia invaded that country,
