Great Finnish theatre guide by Edenred

Great Finnish theatre guide by Edenred

Storytelling has been a part of culture and humanity for as long as we have existed. Stories not only entertain us, but they also teach us the secrets of life, develop our empathy, and help us understand cause-and-effect relationships. They make us reflect on our own experiences and feelings – and above all, they offer us the chance to experience things together.

Theater also provides an opportunity to escape from everyday life. It can be a comforting break that brings with it the understanding that we are not alone with our feelings. A theater experience requires conscious presence, free from scrolling on mobile devices or other distractions. Being present without virtual stimuli or multitasking sharpens our senses and enhances the experience. Immersing ourselves in a theater experience allows us to dive into another world, take a break from daily life, recharge, and refresh ourselves.

Theater acts as a mirror to society, reflecting phenomena and challenging us to think differently. It asks, "what if things were different?" and brings to light issues we might not otherwise notice. This can open up discussions on difficult topics and help us better understand the world around us.

The performing arts in Finland have faced budget cuts, and many cultural organizations are struggling to stay afloat. That’s why we at Edenred want to encourage our users to explore the theater offerings in their local area. You might discover unforgettable experiences, new adventures, good laughs, or even a new hobby.

Purchasing Theater Tickets with Edenred Virike

Numerous Finnish theaters sell their tickets through national ticket vendors such as Lippu.fi, Ticketmaster, Netticket, and Tiketti. We encourage you to always check before going to the theater whether the theater accepts cultural benefit payments at the box office or only in the online store.

Please note that with the cultural and sports benefit provided by your employer, you can only purchase one ticket for your own use, not tickets for family members. The tax-supported benefit can only be used as a payment method for ticket products and not for catering or cafeteria services.
