I would have thought that the government would have kept exceptional watch over the organization and legitimacy of this song contest. What a black eye for Ukraine this is will be if allowed to stand, and what terrible advertisement for their readiness for entry into the EU. This is top priority - sounds kinda dumb to us maybe -- but this is important -- that's what countries do to publicize themselves and things like tourism, etc. -- they like to prove they can sponsor these big events. Yushchenko or someone in his reform minded government better get on the stick here, or Ukraine is going to look like a laughing stock -- and not only that - this is exactly the sort of thing that has always happened there before, with everything having to be done through bribery and chicanery. This truly is a scandal. Who in power gave out all these tickets to this one "travel agency". Sounds like the same old, same old, someone's relative in the government got a sweet deal, and everyone else can lump it. Exactly, the people from this company, and whoever else is responsible belong in jail -- and pronto -- nehayno!! Can't the Ukrainians understand that they are operating under international scrutiny now? Everything is an ad for how things work in Ukraine. What a mess!!

A crime against humanity. Judging by reports, so far the organisation of this year’s contest has been at best a shambles, at worst a crime.

I think many of the entrants each year could quite easily be described as a crime. A crime against humanity.
