How to get an event ticket or course place with your Kaikukortti

Get your ticket directly through the cultural venue’s own sales channels. Be prepared to show your Kaikukortti and provide the card number.

Kaikukortti tickets cannot be purchased from an online store.

If you get your ticket through Lippupiste or another commercial ticket vendor, you are responsible for paying any service fee yourself. The admission ticket itself, however, is free of charge. For many venues, you can get your ticket directly without a service fee.

Kaikukortti tickets are often limited in number.

Bring your Kaikukortti with you to the event. Staff may ask you to show the card and prove your identity.

If you want to take part in a course at the adult education center:

  1. Register for the course as usual.
  2. Report your Kaikukortti number to the adult education center’s office.

The number of course places available to Kaikukortti users is often limited.

Bring your Kaikukortti with you to the course. Staff may ask you to show the card and prove your identity.

Visiting a Kaikukortti venue together

In certain cases, you may bring a child, personal assistant, or interpreter with you to a Kaikukortti venue using your own card. A community Kaikukortti is also available for small groups.

If you have children or grandchildren under 18, you can get them free admission tickets with your Kaikukortti when you attend the same event together.

However, a child or grandchild cannot take part in a course at the adult education center with you based on your Kaikukortti. Regional exceptions may apply.

If you need a personal assistant or interpreter, they can access Kaikukortti venues free of charge.

A personal assistant may, for example, help with mobility, vision, or everyday tasks. An interpreter may be, for example, a professional in sign language, text interpreting, or speech-to-text interpreting.

Get a separate seat ticket for your personal assistant or interpreter for the event.

You can also take part in a cultural event with a small group.

An employee, volunteer, or other representative of a community may use the community Kaikukortti when organizing a small-group visit for their clients. A small group usually consists of 2–5 people.

Participants over the age of 16 must bring their own Kaikukortti. The community Kaikukortti cannot be used to take part in adult education center courses.

In addition to the offerings in Hämeenlinna and the rest of Kanta-Häme, you can also use your Kaikukortti at cultural venues in other Kaikukortti regions.
