The Eurovision Song Contest 2011 will be the 56th annual Eurovision Song Contest. It will take place in Düsseldorf, Germany, following Germany's win in the 2010 Contest with Lena Meyer-Landrut's song "Satellite". The contest will be held in Düsseldorf's Esprit Arena, which beat out three challenging venue locations across Germany in a bidding phase in late 2010.

The dates set for the two semi-finals are 10 May and 12 May 2011, with the final planned for the evening of 14 May 2011.[2] Forty-three countries have confirmed their participation in the contest. Returns include Austria which last participated in 2007, Italy which last participated in 1997, Hungary which last participated in 2009, and San Marino which last participated in 2008.

Venue

The Esprit Arena, the 2011 venue.

The Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf was announced by NDR as venue for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest on 12 October 2010.[3][4] This will be the first Eurovision Song Contest held in Germany since reunification, with West Germany having previously hosted the contest in 1957[5] and 1983.[6] Germany is also the first member of the "Big Five" to host the Contest since the implementation of the rule in 2000 which permits the five largest contributors to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) – Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy – to qualify automatically for the final alongside the previous year's winner.

Bidding phase

23 cities had ordered the terms of tender for the event by the NDR.[7] Eight of these cities continued to show interest in hosting the event including Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover, Gelsenkirchen,[8] Düsseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich.[9] It was announced on 21 August 2010 by NDR that four of those cities had officially applied to host the 2011 Contest: Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover, and Düsseldorf.[10] Plans on where the contest could be held in each applicant city included:[11]

  Broadcast area of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR)

Esprit Arena Düsseldorf

The newspaper Der Westen announced that construction and dismantling work within the Esprit Arena will allow the stadium to be rented for a period of six weeks.[13] The stadium can accommodate 24,000 spectators for the Eurovision Song Contest.[14] Düsseldorf can offer 23,000 hotel beds and 2,000 additional beds in the Düsseldorf surroundings and on ships on the River Rhine. Düsseldorf Airport is close and an athletics arena near the Esprit Arena is reportedly planned to be used as press centre for 1,500 journalist places. Ad banners would be removed from the arena, and lodgers and business-seat-owners who have an annual ticket for the football matches of Fortuna Düsseldorf will be compensated. Upgrading of the Paul-Janes-Stadion to 2nd Bundesliga requirements will cost the city an amount in millions.[15]

Event concept and ticket sale

On 13 October 2010, Thomas Schreiber, coordinator at ARD outlined details about Düsseldorf's event concept: Esprit Arena will be split in two parts separated from each other. On one side of the stadium the stage will be installed while the other side will function as background dressing rooms for the artist delegations. An athletics arena next to the Esprit Arena will serve as the press centre for the event. The Esprit Arena can offer comfortable seats relatively near to the stage that will create rather an indoor event arena atmosphere than a football-stadium ambience. There are plans to open also the dress rehearsals for the public.[16] Altogether, tickets are going to be sold for seven shows (the final, two semifinals and four dress rehearsals).[17]

He also said in that interview that tickets for the event were likely to go on sale "within the next four weeks" (by mid-November 2010). NDR already opened a pre-registration e-mail-newsletter on its website for all people interested in tickets for the event.[18]

Ticket sales started on 12 December 2010 at 12:12 CET on the website www.dticket.de, which is the only authorised reseller of tickets for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011.[19] The 32,000 tickets final that were put on sale on 12 December sold out within less than six hours. Once camera positions have been determined, a few thousand tickets more will be put on sale. Tickets for the semifinals will be put on sale in mid-January, when it is known which countries will take part in each semifinal.[20]

Media reports regarding host city

On 24 September 2010, it was announced that Fortuna Düsseldorf football club had applied to the Deutsche Fußball Liga for permission to move its home matches to the Paul-Janes-Stadion if the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf was awarded the 2011 Song Contest. This message already indicated that talks with Düsseldorf to host the song contest in the Esprit Arena were at an advanced stage at that moment.[21] Fortuna Düsseldorf football club later announced on its website on 6 October 2010 that the club had obtained permission to move their games if necessary.[22]

On 2 October 2010 the Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper announced that Hamburg would be unable to host the 2011 Song Contest, due to the fact that the city could no longer fulfil the required financial conditions.[23]

Concerns were raised about Berlin's bid concept which consisted of an inflatable tent to be built on Tempelhof's hangar area. Decision makers at NDR reportedly doubted the venue's ability to provide advantageous acoustic conditions. Berlin's speaker Richard Meng neither confirmed nor denied that because "secrecy about the bid concepts were promised to the NDR", Meng commented.[24]

The ARD TV station which is the European Broadcasting Union member to broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest in Germany is a joint organisation of Germany's regional public-service broadcasters. The ARD has 10 members. The venues that were in consideration are located in the areas of three different members: Berlin is located within the Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) member area, Hamburg and Hanover within the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) area and Düsseldorf within the Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) broadcasting area. While NDR has been responsible for the transmission of the Eurovision Song Contest in recent years when the final took place in other countries, the financial scope of the three broadcasters seemed to have become a decisive factor in the application procedure for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest. The Tagesspiegel reported on 7 October that the costs for hosting this event resulted in a tense discussion about necessary savings on other programme contents made by the three broadcasters. The press alleged that RBB's weak financial state was the biggest hurdle for Berlin staging the contest.[25]

The Neue Ruhr Zeitung newspaper which is part of the WAZ Media Group reported on 12 December 2010, that Fortuna Düsseldorf not moving to the Paul-Janes-Stadion due to the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. Fortuna Düsseldorf's training venue next to the Esprit Arena will be equipped with mobile stands that will cover 20,000 seats by the Swiss stadium provider Nüssli. The new variant was chosen because of better logistic qualifications at the Arena Sportpark Düsseldorf and is expected to cost €1.5 million.[26]

Format

The four countries that are part of the "Big Four", along with the host of the contest, automatically qualify for a place in the final. For the 2011 Contest, Germany is both a "Big Four" country and the host, resulting in a vacant spot in the final. At a Reference Group meeting in Belgrade it was decided that the existing rules will remain in place, and that the number of participants in the final will simply be lowered from twenty-five to twenty-four.[27] On 31 December 2010; the official participation list was published by the EBU, which states that with the return of Italy to the contest, this nation will become a member of the "Big Five" thus permitting them automatic qualification into the finals, alongside Germany (host), France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and therefore restores the number of participants for the final to twenty-five nations.[28]

On the 30 August 2010 it was announced that Svante Stockselius, Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest, will leave his position on 31 December 2010.[29] On 26 November 2010, EBU reported that Jon Ola Sand will be the new Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest.[30]

Hosts

NDR revealed the presenters of contest on 16 December 2010; Anke Engelke, Judith Rakers and Stefan Raab. It will be the third time three people have hosted the contest after 1999 and 2010.[31]

At a meeting in Belgrade on 28 August 2010, the EBU decided that each country must choose their artist and song before 14 March 2011.
