I registered my company but didn't get confirmation.

Our registration process includes a company credit check which can take up to three weeks. If you need to book services before you receive the confirmation, please contact bookings@eurovision.net to arrange a pro-forma invoice at least 48 hours before your transmission start time.

What's an operational code?

An operational code, or OPS CODE, is what we use to identify an organization. The first two letters denote the country (e.g. IT for Italy) and the other letters identify the organization (e.g. IT RAI). For security reasons, the domain name of the email address associated with your account must match the approved domains for your organization in our database.

I tried to register online but couldn't find my company's operational code.

If your operational code doesn't appear on the list, it means your organization isn't in our database, in which case please register your company.

Why was my user profile rejected?

If the domain name in the email address you have used doesn't match the domain names associated with your company in our database, your registration will be blocked or automatically rejected. For security reasons, we don't accept registrations with Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo addresses, even if they are official company emails.

I created a user profile but didn't get a confirmation email.

Please check your spam folder first. We also recommend that you check the operational code and your email address. If you still haven't received a confirmation email, please contact us using the contact form at the bottom of this page.

I created a user profile but didn't receive a username and password.

We don't assign user names or passwords to users. Each user is asked to create their own username and password during the registration process. Please note that each registration on our site creates an account with booking privileges. Your password and user name should be kept secure and not shared with other people.

The password I chose for my user account was rejected.

Your password must meet the following criteria to be valid:

  • It must be at least 8 characters long
  • It mustn't contain your first name, last name, username or operational code
  • It must contain upper and lower case letters and at least one number

I forgot my login and password for my user account.

If you have forgotten your password, click on 'Login' at the top right of the homepage and choose 'Forgot password?' on the next screen to create a new password. To go directly to the password retrieval page, click here.

What's a synopsis?

A synopsis is the name given to the technical confirmation of a Eurovision transmission. The synopsis includes the reference number, date, time, origin, destination, contacts and technical details (e.g. routing on satellite/fibre and technical parameters) of the transmission.

How do I get to Eurovision Services?

FROM THE AIRPORT

Pick up a public transportation ticket (valid for 60 minutes) from the airport baggage collection area just before the customs point. Take the number 5 bus (direction 'Thônex-Vallard') or the number 28 (direction 'Jardin botanique') and get off at the 'Le Pommier' bus stop. The bus ride will take around four minutes. Eurovision Services is visible from the bus stop and a minute's walk away.

FROM THE CITY CENTRE AND TRAIN STATION (GARE CORNAVIN)

The number 5 bus (direction 'Aéroport'), the F bus (direction 'Gex-Aiglette') and the N°22 bus (direction 'Nations') all stop at 'Le Pommier', from which Eurovision Services is a short walk.

Consult the Geneva Public Transportation Network (TPG) website to find the fastest route from any location in Geneva. Information about timetables, routes and fares is also available. Ticket machines are available at most bus stops and on some buses, and the cost is CHF 3. Buy a ticket before boarding or your risk a fine. If you're staying at a hotel, you may be offered a Geneva Transportation Card, which gives you free access to public transport.

FROM THE CITY CENTRE

Taxis can be ordered online, by phone (+41 22 320 2233) or at one of the many taxi stands around the city and at the airport. The fare from the airport or the train station to Eurovision Services HQ is roughly CHF 30 depending on traffic, time of day, how much luggage you have and the number of passengers.
