The short version, as of 16 October 2026: tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest 2027 in Burgas are not on sale, and no sale date has been announced. The sale is widely expected around the end of 2026. Anyone offering you a ticket today is selling something they do not have.
The EBU's official FAQ for Burgas 2027 still says "tickets are not yet on sale". Sale dates, price categories and prices will be announced later. This page will change on the day that happens.
What is confirmed
All shows take place at Arena Burgas, on Stefan Stambolov Boulevard in the Slaveykov district of Burgas. The arena opened in May 2023 and holds up to 15,000 people in concert configuration. The dates were confirmed by the EBU and BNT in August 2026:
| Show | Date |
|---|---|
| First Semi-Final | Tuesday 11 May 2027 |
| Second Semi-Final | Thursday 13 May 2027 |
| Grand Final | Saturday 15 May 2027 |
| Six Preview Shows | Monday 10 – Saturday 15 May 2027 |
That makes nine ticketed shows, not three. Before each live show there are two full dress rehearsals in front of an audience: the "preview shows", sometimes called the jury show and the family show. They have the same staging, the same running order and the same performances, but they are not live television. Tickets for them cost less and are easier to get. If you want to see the songs in the room, a preview show is the sensible purchase, not a consolation prize.
How the sale is expected to work
Recent contests have sold tickets through the official channel in waves, with a single global on-sale moment for each wave. For 2027, the EBU has said you need a free Eurofan account, the official fan club, to buy.
- Register for Eurofan now. It takes a few minutes. Inside the account there is a "Tickets & Events" section where you can say you want 2027 tickets. People who register on the day the sale opens have historically lost their place.
- Have everyone's details ready before the queue opens. That means card, address, and passport or ID details for everyone in your group. The most popular shows at recent contests sold out within an hour.
On timing, "around the end of 2026" is an expectation based on previous host cities, which opened their sales in the winter before the contest. It is not an announcement. Plan for anywhere between December 2026 and February 2027.
Book a room before you buy a ticket
Most guides say: get a ticket, then book flights and a room. For Burgas in 2027, that order is the most expensive mistake you can make.
Burgas has about 225,000 residents, and its accommodation is built for July and August, not mid-May. Nine sold-out shows, plus delegations, press and crew, will fill the rooms near the arena long before the last ticket wave.
So book somewhere to sleep first, on terms you can cancel, then go after tickets. A refundable room you end up not needing costs you nothing. A ticket with no bed within 30 km costs you the trip.
- Where to stay for Eurovision 2027 in Burgas: walking, taxi and bus times from each district.

Buying safely
- Buy only from the official ticket page. Not from a marketplace, a fan group or a direct message.
- Expect personalised tickets. At recent contests, names were printed on tickets and checked at the door, so tickets resold on secondary sites are risky and often invalid.
- Avoid "hotel plus ticket" packages that appear before the sale opens. Nobody has a ticket to put in a package yet.
- Preview shows are your fallback. If you miss out on the Grand Final, the Saturday afternoon preview puts you in the same arena on the same day, watching the same show.
If you miss out entirely
The week is still worth the trip. Host cities run a Eurovision Village with the shows on big screens and live stages, and a EuroClub for evening events. The Burgas venues have not been confirmed yet. See Eurovision Village and EuroClub.
