EUROVISION 2020 🇳🇱
Following the releases of the bidbooks by Maastricht and Rotterdam, the two shortlisted cities to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, it has been revealed that the deadline for broadcasters to submit their entries for the 2020 contest has been set for 9 March. Organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, have stated that their aim is for tickets for the contest to go on sale before Christmas.

EUROVISION 2020 🇳🇱
Maastricht community and city seemed shocked th the decision as they had planned a huge investment in the event. There would have been a direct investment of 6.5 million Euros in cash and 5.2 million Euros in resources. In total Maastricht spent 300,000 Euro’s in funding their their bid for the 2020 contest. The bid failed because the venue ceiling did not have the required carrying capacity for the equipment that needed to be installed for the competition. Eurovision Village – Would have been located at the City Meadow in Sphinxkwartier for a period of 12 days. EuroClub – Having previously proposed that construction of a “round silo” at City Meadow in the initial proposal. Maastricht adapted the bid to suggest the Muziekgieterij instead. Opening Ceremony – Would have taken place at the Provinciehuus in Maastricht where the Maastricht Treaty was signed in 1992. The red carpet would have taken place on pontoons in the Maas river. Insignia Ceremony – The traditional handover of the symbolic keys between host cities would have taken place at the Town Hall. Heads of Delegations Meeting – TEFAF art fair would have been the venue for the meetings on March 9. This is the deadline for delegations to submit their songs and staging plans for Eurovision 2020.
