How to apply for a KulturLegi and join our concert nights for half the price

Written By Anil Özdemir

Here at jazzhane, we place great value on making our concerts available to everybody. For this reason, we provide reduced ticket prices for most of our concerts.

For instance, for our concerts at the Jazz Club Moods or for our festival at the Rote Fabrik, holders of a Kulturlegi receive discounts up to 50%.

What is the KulturLegi?

The KulturLegi is a personal ID card with a photo, valid for one year. It allows our community members on a tight budget to receive a discount of 30-70% (in some cases up to 100%) on offers in sports, culture, and education. Children aged 5 or older require their ID card.

Where can I use the KulturLegi?

There are more than 3,600 events and activities to choose from in Zurich, Basel, Bern, Aargau, Graubünden, Fribourg, Neuchatel, Schaffhausen, Solothurn, St. Gallen-Appenzell, Thurgau, Waadt, Jura, etc.

  • You pay less when visiting concerts, festivals, museums or theatres.

  • You get a library membership or a newspaper subscription for reduced prices.

  • Your football or tennis club membership is cheaper.

  • You make considerable savings on family trips to the zoo or the swimming pool.
