Organizers of next year's Eurovision Song Contest warned visitors not to book expensive accommodation during the event.

Liverpool were announced as the Mayo Cup hosts on Friday.

House prices ranging from £450 to £8,000 a night were soon announced.

Liverpool marketing director Chris Brown says details of other options will be revealed later this week.

He added, "You can go on cruises or camping trips."

Many rooms in the city are already booked, and the cheapest option for the night of the Eurovision final on May 13 is already on sale on Booking.com for £1,000.

The house is advertised for less than £8,000 on the same night.

Brown said organizers were "very disappointed" that some had chosen to use the Liverpool event.

"We tell everyone who receives these awards not to discuss them," he said.

Some people who booked ahead of Friday's announcement, and in some cases months in advance, have reported that their reservation was canceled before rooms were rebooked at higher prices.

Eurovision supporters say the price gouging, where sellers inflate the price of goods or services in a city after announcing a listing, was unusual for some accommodation providers.

Brown said the organizers "are going to say what we think Liverpool are doing, but that doesn't match the spirit or the morals of what they took part in at Eurovision".

He added that "several units" were allocated to artists and broadcasters "at a price acceptable to Eurovision through the bidding process".

Local authorities will announce more accommodation options in and around the city later this week.

"That might include cruises or activities around camp, but we have a very solid plan," Brown said.

Options may include accommodation in Manchester and Cheshire, which are at Liverpool's peak times.

The city was chosen to host the competition because this year's winner, Ukraine, was considered safe from Russian invasion. The United Kingdom was chosen as the venue for the competition after contestant Sam Ryder came second.

Organizers say it reflects "what Ukraine and its people deserve" and expect the tournament, which will attract 160 million viewers, will boost the city's economy by £30 million.
