The first semi-final of Eurovision 9 will be held on May 22 at 00:2017, and before that at 16:00 – the last dress rehearsal, which you can also get to with tickets. The concerts are held at the International Exhibition Center (IEC) near the city of Livoberezhna.
Enhanced security measures are in place at the International Exhibition Center, so the organizers advise arriving at the show in advance, 2,5 hours in advance, and the entrance will be closed half an hour before the start. In addition, traffic routes to the International Exhibition Center have been developed.
It is recommended to get there from the Hidropark metro station by crossing the Rusanivsky bridge (Metro bridge) to Brovarsky prospect, turning left after the bridge, as indicated in the diagram. From Livoberezhna metro station (you can use both exits), passing under the metro bridge, go to Mykilsko-Slobidska Street.
For those who plan to come to the Eurovision show by car, it is reported that the entrance to Mykilsko-Slobidska Street will be closed, and the parking lot near the Novus store will be open only to guests who have purchased a ticket to the VIP zone. For visitors with disabilities, separate parking spaces will be reserved near the entrance to the arena, as shown in the diagram.
Organizers recommend coming to the show 2,5 hours in advance. The entrance to the hall will close 30 minutes before the start of the show.
As indicated on the tickets, all evening shows start at 22:00 and daytime shows at 16:00 or 14:00. It is at this time that the television recording or live broadcast will begin. And all the spectators should already take their seats in the audience hall so that the start of the competition can go without any obstacles. Therefore, the organizers advise to arrive approximately 2,5 hours before the start of the show. Half an hour before the start of the live broadcast, the entrance to the auditorium will be closed.
Before each evening show, an hour before the start, a pre-show will begin for everyone, during which the top Ukrainian DJ Sanya Dymov will play Eurovision hits from previous years.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that during the weeks of the Eurovision Song Contest, heightened security measures are in place at the IEC, which require that every visitor pass through metal detectors. Ticket verification will also take some time.
For everyone who has not yet purchased a ticket for the Eurovision 2017 show, there is still such an opportunity. Traditionally - on the website of the official ticket operator of the competition Concert.ua, as well as every day at the ticket offices located near the entrance to the International Exhibition Center. There is also a service center in the arena, where you can turn to with questions that arise about tickets.
Eurovision 2017 volunteers will help to orientate on the terrain if necessary.
