Developed by several cultural organizations, with the support o the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Authority for Consumers and Markets, the “Save your ticket, enjoy it later” ticketing system was launched in April 2020. Through this initiative, Dutch theatres, concert halls, music venues, event and sports organizers, museums and festivals jointly called on audiences to support the culture sector. When an event could not be moved to a later date or if the ticket buyer could no longer attend the event, he or she could receive a voucher, donate the ticket or request a refund. The voucher system was an immediate response to the lockdown.
