Norwegian broadcaster, NRK has opened the ticket sale for the 4 semi-finals and second chance round of their national selection, Melodi Grand Prix 2022.

As ESC Norge reports the total of 21 acts are going to compete, each of the 4 semi-finals will feature 4 acts like previous edition, while 5 are going to be direct finalists. The qualifying semi-final rounds, the second chance round and grand final of Melodi Grand Prix 2022 will be broadcast from Fornebu’s H3 Arena and the show will have audience, it has been announced that the venue is going to be expanded to the maximum available space and the number of places will be distributed according to the situation with the pandemic. All the tickets are available on the following LINK except the ones for the Grand finale which will go on sale in January.

Different voting methods will be used, given the fact that jury vote returns. The hosts of the show remain unknown given the fact that familiar face of it Ronny Brede Åse stopped working at NRK in July and he is now part of Discovery. Also a big change which will be made is the time of the reveal for the competing acts, last two years the acts have been revealed each Monday of the week when they were competing. For Melodi Grand Prix 2022 that’s going to be on the 6th of January. The deadline for the submissions of songs competing at MGP 2022 was 15th of September.
