Eurovision 2025: The Most Expensive Edition Yet?

Eurovision 2025: Fans in Basel Cry Foul Over Soaring Prices Eurovision 2025, held in Basel, Switzerland, is proving to be a costly affair for fans. Many attendees interviewed by EFE Noticias expressed frustration over significantly higher prices compared to previous years. The cost of tickets, food, drinks, and merchandise has dramatically increased, leaving many fans feeling the pinch. One fan, speaking to EFE, stated, "De momento, ya llevamos aquí solo dos días, más de 1.000 euros con todo incluido." Another fan commented on the price increase for tickets, noting that, "En un principio valían, imagínate Portugal, la entrada unos 100 euros aproximadamente, y ahora ya casi 400 euros." These comments highlight the substantial price hikes experienced by attendees. While last year's Eurovision in Malmö, Sweden, was also considered expensive, this year's event in Basel is seen as the most expensive yet. The higher costs are impacting fan attendance, with a noticeable decrease in international visitors compared to previous years. Despite the financial burden, the passion for Eurovision remains strong. The event continues to draw large numbers of fans, showcasing the enduring appeal of the competition.
