A small amount of tickets will still be available in the future when the last details for the shows are fixed.

In December and January tickets were only on sale for the semi-finals but this time they will be available for all shows – the Jury Shows (second dress rehearsals) on the day before each live show, and the Family Shows (third dress rehearsals) that will take place on the day of the live shows, and the coveted live shows.

The Jury and Family Shows do not have pan-European televoting and no results are announced during them.

The two semi-finals are in Vienna on May 19th and 21st and the final takes place on May 23rd.

Tickets can be purchased from Oeticket.com. Austrian broadcaster the ORF is warning people to beware of buying overpriced tickets from bootleggers on the internet, with some people buying up tickets and then attempting to sell them for a profit. The terms and conditions of the tickets prohibit this and the ORF reserves the right to take legal action against such people.

Tickets will be sent via post shortly before the shows.

IN PICS: Thousands protest in Malmö against Israel's participation in Eurovision

The protesters gathered at Malmö’s Stortorget Square, with many waving Palestinian flags or wrapping their necks with the Keffiye, the scarf that is a symbol of the Palestinian struggle against occupation.

According to police, between 6,000 and 8,000 people took part in the demonstration.

“Everything as gone according to expectations. Everything is calm and there are no disturbances so far,” Jimmy Modin, the police’s press spokesperson told Sweden’s public broadcaster SVT.

Some signs reference the disqualification of the The Netherlands’ entry Joost Klein, even though the European Broadcasting Union has asserted that the member of the production team who has accused him of threatening behaviour was not connected to a national delegation in any way.

The youth wing of the Left Party carried a sign saying, “Genocide: Nul points — no occupying powers at Eurovision”.

When The Local was leaving Malmö Arena in Hyllie, there were a handful of demonstrators staging an unsanctioned protest, who police were asking to stop.
