The Burgas arena’s difference in capacity for concerts is HUGE. About twice what Basel’s arena had. Floor tickets should be abundant. #Eurovision

Also hey! Our very own Erik penned an article for @escinsight.com about that phrase we all know and love, "United By Music." Has it gotten more apt?

A weird observation from this year's Eurovision - the top 10 in Belgium's televote is remarkably similar to the top 10 of the *full* televote. All 10 countries are the same, and even the order is really close.
Still trying to calculate just how unusual this is, but for now - neat!
