ESC a good financial affair?

Eurovision Song Contest a good financial affair?

Well, hosting ESC 2007 gave at least Finnish national broadcaster YLE more than 35 million Swedish crowns or 3,716,879.94 €, newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet reports.

Before Hartwall Areena a lot of people in Finland thought that the event would cause a big black hole in the YLE budget but it all went opposite. All this thanks to the tickets sold over the week mid may this year.

When all charges and incomes/receipts was taking in consider it all ends with a + 3,7 million € for YLE. Not bad to say that you can earn money from such a big event as Eurovision Song Contest !!
