The Eurovision Song Contest is one of the world’s biggest TV programs and is followed by many thousands of fans and professionals. Many have already tried to obtain tickets and book hotels since Malmö was announced as the host city, GoMap reports quoting the official website of the contest.
However, the Swedish production group for the event aims to offer reassurance. There is still a way to go until the official tickets for the shows are put on sale. Show producer Christer Björkman advises people not to buy tickets from the channels they are being sold today.
"Do not buy tickets now. As usual there are many who want to profit from the event, but there is a long time before the tickets are released. We will be drawing up plans for the stage and then will subsequently produce a seating plan", he says.
The executive producer Martin Österdahl apologizes for the unauthorized sale of tickets.
"There is no legal way to stop this. If others make use of our brand, logos etc then we will contact them and make sure that they stop", he says.
