Where to stay for Eurovision 2025?

If you’re wanting to go to Eurovision in person, hopefully you’ve already got tickets as, sadly, they’re no longer available (they sold out in just minutes in January). 

With that being said, you may be able to snag a verified ticket or two on TicketCorner fanSALE – TicketCorner’s official secondary market – later this year if ticket holders decide to sell theirs.

And in terms of accommodation, you’ll have to book quickly; most places are already full. 

Have a look at hotels, motels, and Airbnbs located in Grossbasel, Kleinbasel, Birsfelden, Muttenz, Binningen and/or Bottmingen – all of these suburbs are just a tram or bus ride from St. Jakobshalle.
