Sweden: Melodifestivalen 2017 tickets go on sale on Monday

Trick or treat! Halloween may be around the corner, but you’ll have to get out of bed for an early treat. Tickets for Melodifestivalen 2017 will go on sale at 9:00 CET on Monday, October 31.

As well as tickets for the live shows for each semi-final, andra chansen and the grand final, audiences can also enjoy two rehearsals for each show, the evening before and the afternoon of the live show. These are offered at a lower price than the live shows. The rehearsal shows also offer reduced price tickets for children under 11.

Melodifestivalen is considered one of the biggest national final events in the lead-up to Eurovision. The shows are usually amongst the top-rated television programmes in Sweden each year, with the Melfest grand final often outrating the Eurovision grand final.

Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.se, the official supplier.
