BBC Radio Scotland was 'advertising' tickets for the Eurovision Song
Contest today (with prices). I wonder how they are allowed to do
this. My understanding is that the BBC is not allowed to charge for admission to its programmes (or recording thereof).

advertising and product placement are not allowed?

The BBC run the Proms concerts and promote them and charge admission. So >it's obviously possible.

What about the BBC Proms?
My understanding is that the BBC is not allowed to charge forI think they are, however normally it involves sitting for a few hours
admission to its programmes (or recording thereof).

So it seems. The rules must have changed or I must have misunderstood
the rules.

I have never heard them overtly giving details of ticket prices and
how to obtain the tickets.
Its been on all the local stations. I think its because although its here >this year, not all the competitors ar stations who rely on the same revenue >stream. RTE, for example take adverts.
The prices are not bad if you are a fan, which I am not. I tend to think
that on recent showings of songs, they should pay us to watch and listen to >it.
I enjoyed it when Katrina and the Waves won it for us, was that the last >time?
The Eurovivision concept maybe missed the boat with its own version of the--
talent show format, very well sent up by the Goodies all those years ago.
The Eurovision raving loony competition.

As a former amateur musician, I'm unlikely ever to be that interested!
However, I did see a photo of the female singer, and thought: "She
looks almost normal, little or no makeup, no dyed or bleached hair,
etc! Good for you, lass!"
But then I noticed the ridiculous fingernails :-(
My reaction was: "Who?". But then, I thought that about last year's
entry, so what do I know, or care, about Eurovision?

At least she appears to be a real woman, I only saw briefly on the news.
The song seemed very forgettable but that has often been the case with
the Eurovision Song Contest. Only seems to be of interest now to one minority group.

She was the support act for the Lidl Mix UK tour so probably only
appeals to the 8 to 12 year olds :)
