Stuart Barlow said that the postcards will be centered around performers. They will also show some places in Kyiv & behind the scenes footage.

Namysto or its parts from the logo will be used in the postcards, graphics & interval acts.

Mads Enggaard (Denmark) will work in the Viewing Room one more time.

The tribunes will be built by Ukrainian company. The video/TV signal will be provided by Swedes or Belgians.
The services for the accreditation will be provided by Germans.

3*, room for 2:

Raziotel Kyiv Yamska 85 / 92 EUR
Ibis Kiev City Center Hotel 87 EUR
Premier Hotel Lybid 90 EUR
Hotel Express 107 / 117 / 148 EUR

Out of curiosity I checked some hotels. The hotel prices in Stockholm are even worse, but 135 euros for this?! (Amarant)

Hotel Express looks sketchy as well. How strange that both Raziotel and Ibis looks better?

All the delegations (except Russia. They didn't want to send their delegation) are already here:

Ola

 

[DanielLuis]

The stage construction is also starting soon, right?

The stage construction is also starting soon, right?

They planned to move in IEC on 18th March. I only wonder if they finished with all tenders already.

 

[DanielLuis]

Hopefully Ola Melzig will do another edition of the Eurovision Diary!!

Technically they're already moving in
The last techie tender ends next week & they will start involving the trucks.

From the yesterday's delegations meeting

It seems they increased the capacity on 1k-2k.

I'm fairly confident the stage will look amazing on screen.

The stage looks like a spaceship I love it

Jon Ola announced that we've solved all problems from the past 7 months and we're ready to host ESC

The Red Carpet ceremony is set on May 7.
For the 1st time the length of the red carpet will be 260m. It will start at the Constitution Square (the Parliament building) & Mariinskiy Palace and it will end at the Mariinskiy observation deck. The Euroclub is beneath the deck, basically across the road)) There you can also observe the left shore & the venue.
The ceremony will be hosted by 6 hosts.

After that all the participants will come to the Euroclub's roof for the flag raising ceremony. I imagine all the flags there

Euroclub capacity: 3 500. It's going to work from May 1 to May 14 (two floors from May 7).

The river port didn't make it to this pic but it's on the left - from there you can travel right to the venue.


Eurovillage on Khreshchatyk/Maidan is going to work from 11:00CET to 21:00CET (May 4 - May 14). And few hours longer during the final & the semis. The contest will be broadcast there as well.

 

[AlekS]

Preparations for building the stage will begin on March 22. The beginning of the main construction works is set on March 28.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I love the little I see of the stage! And I can't remember the last time any nation seemed so eager to prove themselves as hosts like Ukraine is this year. Maybe Azerbaijan 2012?

 

[popavapeur]

I already want my construction updates #buildingporn

Is it wrong when looking at those pictures my first thought is "Where is Robin going to start and enter from?"

THE STAGE looks like the one from Helsinki 2007 and Oslo 2010 had a pretty baby and It's all grown up now

 

[GermanBango]

Oh damn time just flies ... it's already that time of the year again
