160,000 Additional 10,000-Won Performance Ticket Discount Vouchers to Be Distributed Starting Next Month

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, along with the Korea Arts Management Service and Arts Council Korea, announced that they will distribute an additional 160,000 vouchers offering a 10,000-won discount on performance tickets starting on the 1st of next month.

This additional distribution is designed to expand opportunities for the public to enjoy the performing arts and to revitalize the performing arts market.

The government previously distributed 240,000 vouchers for a 10,000-won discount on May 22.

In line with the additional distribution, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is newly recruiting regional culture and arts centers outside the capital area to participate in on-site discounts.

The target venues are culture and arts centers outside the capital area (excluding Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi Province) that host paid performances with ticket prices exceeding 10,000 won.

Selected culture and arts centers will provide a 10,000-won discount per person to eligible visitors who visit the respective performance venues from September 1 to November 30.

Eligible recipients for the discounts include older adults (aged 55 and older), people with disabilities, low-income individuals, farmers and fishermen, and elementary, middle, and high school student group visitors.

Culture and arts centers participating in the on-site discounts will receive up to 10 million won in support, which will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis within a total budget of 200 million won.

Culture and arts centers wishing to participate can submit application forms and other related documents to the Korea Arts Management Service (coupon@gokams.or.kr).

Among the discount vouchers distributed last May, some remaining quantities are still available for vouchers dedicated to performance venues outside the capital area.

Individuals can obtain up to two vouchers per person through platforms such as Naver Booking, Time Ticket, and Ticketlink until the 20th of this month.

In addition, on-site discounts at culture and arts centers are underway at six locations, including Gyeongju Arts Center, Gimhae Arts Center, Dangjin Culture and Arts Center, Sejong Culture & Arts Hall, Sejong Arts Center, and Changnyeong Culture and Arts Center, until the end of this month.
