I went to the final in Liverpool! I was visiting the fam one weekend and my sister said to me casually “Oh, do you want to come to Eurovision? I got you a ticket.”
“What, to a party or something?”
“No, Eurovision.”
“One of the semis?”
“No. The final.”
“WTAF? How??”
“Went online. Bought them.”
Well your sister is clearly EPIC! I would have been squealing too much to speak clearly. Was it fun? It looked like fun on TV and Hannah Waddingham is Eurovision’s true Queen.
This was my review (spread over several comments because word limit:
Once upon a time I went to a MotoGP on Phillip island in Australia. The weather was crap, all I got to see/hear of the bikes was a brief blur and a loud noise as they whizzed past,
I was freezing and bored shitless and spent most of the time thinking about how I could have been on a sofa seeing way more on the TV, whilst not being cold. Thankfully, Eurovision was not like that at all. The sun was shining and everybody there was out for a good time, and it really showed.
I didn’t see any hint of aggro anywhere and all the staff (who must have been on their knees by that point) were unfailingly cheerful, friendly and polite, even the wifi guy that I accosted in error. As you’d expect, the atmosphere was amazing, especially during popular acts like Finland
when the whole arena just kicked off; everybody was up and dancing. The staging was as slick as you’d expect, considering they only had a minute or two to swap acts. The presenters waffling with the acts/audience happened during the change of sets that needed additional props and was also seamless.
