Eurovision-Can the public go?

CHRISTYG

This isn't useful for now, since Ireland won't (for financial reasons, as well as my opinion that the EBU dosen't want a small country like Ireland!) be in it for a while, but should Ireland enter, and win, the Eurovision again, it would be held in Ireland somewhere (Probably Dublin, as Belfast's in the entity called the United Kingdom) So, after a long preamble, my question is- How exactly are the seats filled? Can an ordinary member of the public apply for tickets, or is it "for invited guests only"?

First Ireland will be back in it next year unless the organisers in RTE decide against it, second whythef... would you want to go?

Admire the fashions? Get the autograph of total non-entities?
Throw old fruit and veg? Strange boy...

Go drinking with Terry Wogan.

Actually, Mike, I don't think it's purely an RTE decision, unless the stupid plonkers (Copyright Delboy Trotter!) in the EBU have changed their damn rules again!!!

P.S.

Getting back to my original question- I was only asking hypothetically, so do you know?

To answer the question I dont know, one suspects the asudience consists of those in the know but maybe some seats are availible
through sales or raffle. Beacuase the EBU oversees the whole horror show I thought RTE here would have the final say, but I suspect you know more about this than I do...

hmmm maybe a breakaway pro-Eurosong faction might be formed....armed only with a hi-gain FM transmitter and a Sony
Video camera!
