Do you know performance 1+1 business?

Do you like musicals or plays? There are many performances which are you want to see it, but you have some uncomfortable troubles also. For example, most of shows are performing in Seoul so we have a space, time constraints. Fortunately, even though you go it is difficult to afford round-trip transportation fee and the expensive ticket price. For such people I will tell you one of the good news. It is a 1 + 1 support project about performance tickets organized by the ‘Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’. That is, when you booking a ticket at booking site they offer a ticket free of charge to be accompanied by one person.

 “Ministry of Culture, sports and Tourism”MCST) has opened this business with ‘Arts Council Korea’ for the purpose of reviving a stagnant economy by MERS and adding new energy to the art world besides, expanding cultural opportunities for citizens. Many performance teams are coming down ticket prices voluntarily because there are limitations that MCST set in the support price. According to statics from primary ticket sales period until 31 August, the first buyer, including the buyer who book the ticket first at this year was 51.9% it is a more than half of the full. So we expect this business make the threshold of the hall low and bring real audience to stage. The first ticket open event started on last August from the website ‘interpark’(www.interpark.com), currently second reservation is proceeding from August 27th to December 31st, and last third ticket booking is scheduled to be opened on September 25th.

Then, what kind of performances got the support from MCST? Currently receiving a reservation from among a section of musical, about 40 teams participated in the project including, "Notre Dame de Paris", "Elizabeth", "Man of La Mancha” and “laundry” etc.. A section of play about 100 teams including, “liar”, “Suspicious detective agency”, “Chuncheon, there” etc. took part also. In addition, not only play but also another a variety of performance including opera and classic participated too. Therefore, we have a large choice.

Of course, some cautions needs to be taken before you booking. First, you have to check right performance list at site because they only provide the 1+1 service to specified performance by MCST. Besides The seating which receives service is limited to a position less than the price of 50000 won. So you should check in advance what seat of grade is corresponded. Moreover, a ticket reservation can be 2 sheets per person, a total of tickets are 4 or less including plus ticket.

So far, I explained about ticket 1+1 business. On the other hand, the sound coming out of the criticism, but the government has said they would gradually increase support program. As a good opportunity, why don’t you go take a rest with a great performance?
