Eurovision - will you be trying to get tickets?

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

I know I'm going to! Bit pricey to be fair, but a bucket list thing for me.

Dd wants to see ENO does Eurovision if possible.

I know Sweden is the hot fav BUT the betting is slipping on it and the staging for the Finnish entry is amazing.

My gut feeling is that ultimately the audience will want something new to win...

Hearing that the crowd went mental for it, doesn't surprise me. DHs friend went last night and thinks it's Finland's to lose now.

We made it yesterday afternoon and had an amazing time. Spent loads on merchandise that we totally didn't need. My handbag was definitely bigger than A4 but they didn't question it. But they did turn people away with bigger bags and signpost them to the bag drop at £10 cash a go. Also they take the lids off water bottles you buy inside so if you want to not drink it all at once take a spare with you. We appealed at the counter to be allowed to keep the cap and my massive pregnant belly helped persuade them.

I wasn't overly impressed with Sweden actually so I'm not sure it will win anymore, but the UK often votes differently to the rest of Europe. The crowd went crazy for Finland but its not my style - I do like that he brought a mobile sauna in a lorry with him though! I really enjoyed Norway, and Czechia actually.

Glad it all worked out for you.

Just back from the semi final 2 preview. I think the choice of songs is stronger than in semi final 1. Some had an amazing reception from the crowd.
