To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to help facilitate the attendance of displaced Ukrainians at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Answered by
Stuart Andrew
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
On 25 February the Government announced that around 3,000 tickets will be made available for displaced Ukrainians living in the UK to attend the Eurovision Song Contest live shows. Those who are based in the UK via the Homes for Ukraine Scheme, the Ukraine Family Scheme and the Ukraine Extension Scheme will be able to apply for tickets. Tickets will be offered for all nine live shows and the Government will set out more detail on how people can apply in the coming weeks. This is another example of the UK’s steadfast support for Ukraine.
