I am so excited that I needed to create a thread. I have been successful in my Eurovision ballot and going to the final in May!!! I’ve been a lifelong Eurovision fan and been wanting to go for elevate (but been hard as DCs are little) and this year I’m going! CANT BLOODY WAIT!!

You won’t notice you’re on your own once you get in there. I imagine you’ll have to check coats and bags in for security reasons but someone who’s been before will be along to confirm.

Not standing, but really good seats for DD (20) and I. We loved every minute of it. The vibe in and outside the arena was so much fun. I was amazed that so many people already knew the words to some of the fan-favourite acts and were singing along. And lots of singing in the streets afterwards too.

Our favourite bit was watching the set change. In the time it takes to introduce the act and play the little Country-specific 20 second video to the viewers at home, the floor of the set lit up with the outlines of where whatever set pieces the next act needed and on scurried a really professional crew to set it up in record time.

Fabulous! We were lucky enough to get tickets to Eurovision in Liverpool a couple of years ago and it was amazing! Don’t worry about going alone, other fans were very friendly. Lots of people were dressing up to the nines! Have a fantastic time.

I've never been to eurovision, but I've been to festivals and gigs alone and always had a ball and met some fantastic people.

With the eurovision you could befriend anyone from 18-80 from anywhere in the world, it's going to be amazing. Don't be nervous, this is a massive deal, don't let anything take the shine from your disco ball 🤣

Absolutely loads of people will be there alone, and you all have something in common already so you'll have an amazing time.

Make sure to wear comfy, flat, broken in shoes (the sparkliest and most obnoxious ones you can find) and have a few drinks of your choice and 5 hours will feel like 5 minutes.

Ah thank you, a few people in real life have been confused that I’m going alone and have made me nervous. In all honesty I am not the most confident person so that got me worried!!

maybe I’ll buy some sparkly flats this week and start breaking them in advance 😂

Only downside is a standing ticket - how I’ll handle standing for 5h who knows but I guess I’ll be dancing!

I also only got assigned one ticket and I’m nervous about going alone!

I'm so jealous, you must start a thread and tell us all the gossip on the day.

You must be absolutely buzzing.

Also meant forever, not to elevate. Typo!
