Money expert shares crucial advice for lucky ticket-holders

Travel and accommodation prices for Eurovision fans heading to Liverpool this May are expected to be astronomical, with many already complaining about the inflated prices for the likes of trains and hotels on the weekend of the Grand Final. Personal finance expert and co-founder of comparison site Choosewisely.co.uk Tara Flynn said: "If you've been lucky and bagged yourself tickets today for Eurovision, think carefully about the way you pay for any travel and accommodation arrangements you make.

"If you use a credit card, you'll automatically get something called 'section 75' protection, meaning your credit card provider has equal liability if there's a problem with any purchases you make over £100. So this means your money will be protected if you book a train to Liverpool that gets cancelled or you book a flight, and the airline goes bust.

"Choosing the right way to pay can help to reduce the risk of you losing out financially and maximise your enjoyment of the event," the expert urged.

Fans discover 'trick' to see their exact place in the queue

Fans have reported uncovering a "trick" that allows them to see their exact place in the ticket queue and how many people are ahead of them.

While the Ticketmaster website only says there are "2000+ people ahead of you", if the person in the queue right-clicks on the page and selects "view page source", a line of text apparently reveals the specific number of users who are ahead of them in the queue.

We tried this out by joining the queue for the first Semi Final preview evening, and it seemed to work - while the Ticketmaster website told us we were in position "2000+", when we followed the above steps the page source said that 6,126 users were ahead of us.

"Trying to get Eurovision tickets but having that typical Ticketmaster experience," a third unhappy fan said.
