Next year, Eskilstuna will be one of the host cities for the ambitious SVT competition for the first time.

The 2,700 tickets, which were released on Thursday, for the main event in the Stiga sports arena went fast. Several people have inquired about the municipal company Destination Eskilstuna and also to dealers and complained that the ticket system was working poorly.

"No availability"

- It's just to complain, but this is what it looks like when you release tickets to big events. There are no servers that can handle it, says Martin Roos.

- But we have no control over ticket sales.

In connection with the Melodifestival competition, a party will be held at Fristadstorget. It is free to visit.

- We expect that there will be up to 7,000 people.
