Fr and the font is fine as well. But if that's the thing people are most upset about to me sounds like they've done very well!!

[@davor_pejic]

The host of today's show was great. The executive co-producers are nice, professional and relaxed. The stage is nice, it has its own charm and it will be great. ❤ bravo Switzerland 🎉

[@JNL76]

Absolutely agree 😍

[@alpenlaufer0434]

That‘s Jennifer Bosshard. Her‘s very great

[@AnneMa_]

She did an amazing job

For interval acts I would love seeing Gjon and Luca Hanni as well as Nemo of course. And if Celine performed also provided she was okay health wise and her schedule allowed then that would be amazing too.

The stage is the best one yet 😍 (Change that font right now)

[@JBTripReports]

When do tickets go on sale? I like the stage!

[@nausedynamite4283]

From December 16th till January 10th

[@94ayd]

January 29th.

[@JNL76]

Today the pre-registration has started, just half an hour ago, but real sales won't start until the semi-final draw, which is on January 29th. But you MUST pre-register first.

[@diaz6874]

Apparently, Gen Z and α are allergic to serif fonts.

[@debonidaniel]

The issue is that the font is tiring. The color palette can get complicated in a world full of information.

[@anb9377]

I'm millennial and didn't like this font too

[@IanSowers]

Thanks for the info - I'm very excited about ESC 2025! However, if I didn't understand both German and English, I would've missed a lot

[@Blueie_ToHH]

LOVED THE STAGE AND DESIGN OH MY GOSH

[@akanichts267]

The stage gives me some kind of italy-vibes. Many Elements that feel new and like they are trying something new, what I appreciate but with the year that things won't work like they should. BUT switzerland is usually better in Organisation, so I stay positive ❤❤❤ ❤💟❤ ❤❤❤

[@DanTony68]

Maybe because these mountains could be French or Italian Alps 😉

[@Olivier-GM]

C'est bien d'entendre plusieurs langues autres que l'anglais.

[@AidenDC_TD]

Damn looks nice

[@evd]

Code-switching is the pits. Just stick to one language and use subtitles for the rest of us.

[@evd]

To highlight this, we were told about ticket registering in English, but prices were discussed in German. Non-English speakers wouldn’t have understood the requirement to pre-register. Non-German speakers have no idea about ticket prices.

[@Tanausuland]

Me alegra que en mi colegio la segunda lengua extranjera fuera Alemán, porque inglés y Alemán son los idiomas que domino, el Francés ni lo he dado. Pero cuando sabes Alemán e Inglés pues está mini presentación del próximo Eurovisión es más amena y entendible. Las gráficas vale pasable, la tipografía sosa , el escenario como render esta guapísimo, la cuestión es verlo en persona ya que en ordenador se ve de una forma y finalmente en persona por tema logístico y creación cambia. Lo sé porque cuando es complejo es difícil ya ha pasado en el escenario del Carnaval de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria cuando hay complejidades se descartan unas más que nada es el tema de amplitud en render vemos el escenario súper amplio y salvo 2024 , en el Parque Santa Catalina el escenario es compacto por lo general. Yo veo que en Basilea tenéis algún pabellón largo y amplio para montar un escenario largo pero 🤔 me genera dudas el planteamiento del espacio escénico.

[@Phaios95]

Love the font. It has a retro vibe ✌️ Ha! I knew the were using the famous Swiss grid!

[@handball841]

the stage is amazing but the font is very plain and it feels like they just copied te 2023 theme art. Honestly i was expecting more, but the music was also very good.

[@rexation8952]

Soooo...where's the green room going to be incorporated?

[@cedricjaggilszhplanespotte6532]

[@evivox]

The font is amazing

[@baxthered]

The font isn't bad, it's very elegant, but they should use Helvetica for body text. Open your mind to serif fonts(!)

[@lynxx_]

What is that font 😭

[@pblvd1820]

I‘m always wondering how something like this can happen. Already now the majority seems to find it ugly 🤣 have they shown it to 3 people or what? Anyways, I really like the stage, the theme and the sound

[@CreepTV7]

what do you mean?

[@1kh0d1]

ikr 😭

[@azi0urty918]

"Euro Times", the font they created for this year's contest.

[@svenfischer1556]

it's an exclusively designed font by a professional type designer. just because it isn't a generic bold sans serif font like in all the previous years? name me a previous ESC who worked with an italic serif font? i love the courage to work with a font like this, whose choice the majority of people won't understand! it's different, it's Eurovision!

[@derkleinewalter7911]

Should have used Helvetica a Swiss font

[@debonidaniel]

Someone read what i thinked

[@Gfynbcyiokbg8710]

It seems to be inspired a lot by ESC 2024

[@smolindesign]

Блин я так и знал, они теперь одним английским не обойдутся. В финале будет ВСЁ шоу на французском и немецком, а в самом начале, нам расскажут как голосовать на английском. Дожили. Если выиграет Франция, я умру H@хyũ!))))

[@giallino-zk4sd]

The stage ready sound?

[@SofianeHalimi-hc3yi]

The stage is going in too many random directions

[@dinislopes9432]

Even if German is the major language in Switzerland, I think this should have been kept in English (with French accepted), since we're talking about Eurovision and the two 'official' languages. The organisation and all the visual part looks amazing. :)

[@Lovovitus815]

Ya’ll crying over the stupid font while i’m still waiting for them to start with slogans again 😭

Hi

[@Jacob_._Roberts]

As an American, I wonder whether your supermarkets sell Swiss cheese and Swiss steak.

[@AnneMa_]

What is a swiss steak? 😅 (I‘m swiss)

[@Jacob_._Roberts]

@@AnneMa_ Swiss steak is a dish of beef that's braised in a rich gravy with vegetables and seasonings. The meat is usually cut from the bottom, top, or eye of round, and is first pounded or rolled to tenderize it using a technique called "swissing".

[@AnneMa_]
