Cultural participation for everyone: 17 new discounts in Salzburg!

The city of Salzburg once again shows that cultural participation should be accessible to everyone. With the expansion of the active: Card by 17 new partners in the cultural sector, the existing offer for people with low incomes is much more attractive. As reported Salzburg24.at, numerous cultural facilities such as the winter festival, the rockhouse and the camera announced to offer discounted or even free admissions.

Mayor Bernhard Auinger (SPÖ) underlines the importance of this initiative: “Cultural participation is a central concern, especially in times when the high cost of living is a burden for many people.” The new cooperation with cultural companies is part of a city program that has been aimed at low-income city residents since 2022 and already offers many benefits such as reduced tickets for outdoor pools and zoos.

Details about the new partners

The new partners of the Aktiv:Card offer interesting discounts. Here is an overview of the offers:

• Winterfest: 50% Rabatt, Kontingent von 400 Tickets.
• CAMERATA: kostenloser Eintritt, Voranmeldung erforderlich.
• MARK: kostenloser Eintritt, solange Plätze vorhanden.
• Toihaus: kostenloser Eintritt, Voranmeldung telefonisch.
• Bibelwelt: kostenloser Eintritt.
• Jazzit: freier Eintritt, begrenztes Kontingent.
• DAS KINO: freier Eintritt von Montag bis Donnerstag, ab fünf Minuten vor Vorstellungsbeginn (außer Filmfestivals).

In addition, the existing cooperation partners, such as the Haus der Natur and the Salzburg Museum, are still active and also offer free entry. The goal is clear: to make it easier for all sections of the population to access cultural offerings, especially for minimum pensioners and single parents, as [kpoeplus-sbg.at](https://www.kpoeplus-sbg.at/aktivkarte_soll_landesweites_angebot_ Werden) emphasizes.

A step towards nationwide implementation

But the KPÖ Plus focus is also on a nationwide implementation of the active: card. In view of the high rents, increasing energy costs and general inflation, you demand that the offer will be extended to the entire state of Salzburg. More and more inquiries about expansion in the country are coming from the districts, which is why an application in the Social Committee is already being discussed.

“Culture must be accessible to everyone,” say the voices from politics, underlined by the constant development of social ticket offers, which are very popular not only in Salzburg but also in other Austrian cities, such as the concept of social tickets in Germany, which offers versatile solutions to support cultural participation. goodnews-magazin.de emphasizes that such initiatives not only increase access to events, but also promote social exchange and integration within society.

With the Aktiv:Card, the city of Salzburg proves that culture should not be a luxury, but can and must be accessible to everyone. The expansion of discounts is an important step on this path.
