During the Benidorm Festival, controversy erupted as final tickets for the grand event went on sale. Moments after the premiere of the final tickets, reports flooded in that many seats were already exhausted, including seats reserved for people with reduced mobility. The episode sparked a wave of frustration among European fans who took to social media to criticize the ticketing system.
From discussions about questionable practices to comparisons with large public spectacles, users shared memes and anecdotes about the difficulty of securing a ticket. The final of Benidorm Fest became a trending topic as fans expressed disappointment over the sales page and its accessibility.
“This is the fastest verification challenge encountered by pedestrians,” commented one Twitter user. eurofan expressed anger over how mandatory captcha gates access to the purchase process. Others complained that multiple entries could not be accessed: “Benidorm Fest, how can you only let me buy 1 ticket? Am I going alone?”

The grand finale of Benidorm Fest 2023 is scheduled to be held at the Palau d’Esports de L’Illa de Benidorm on a February date in the coming season, with the winner earning a pass to the next Eurovision Song Contest. As ticket sales began for the final, fans counted down to what many are calling a festive moment in the calendar.
These are all the participants of Benidorm Fest 2023.
From the contestants of Spanish talent shows to celebrated winners from various realities, the lineup for the 18 candidates competing to follow last year’s champ filled social networks with discussions. Blanca Paloma from Elche drew special attention for reaching the grand finale last year with a song that fans believe deserved more recognition, sparking renewed excitement among supporters.
The big question for fans is when new songs will be released so they can listen and cheer for potential winners. In prior seasons, song releases occurred in late December, and the timing for artist presentations aligned with the festival dates. It seems likely RTVE will reveal tracks in the weeks leading up to the event, with performances expected from late January to early February in Benidorm.
