Five Star Experiences Game

2010. February 02.

Five years, five thousand performances, five star experiences – the five-year-old Palace of Arts is to celebrate its coming birthday with a host of special events and publications. It wishes to surprise its audience by presents offering new experiences of quality and diversity to guests.

Here is a list of what we are planning for the occasion.

With the title “Experience! In all respects”, the Palace of Arts is to launch a photo competition for all those immortalising their impressions of Palace of Arts events, audience spaces or the building itself and are happy to make them public.

From January 20, guests pre-purchasing their tickets online will not have to queue at the booking office: the tickets are to be collected any time from a ticket vending machine.

The easy to manage homepage www.mupa.hu, to be renewed at the end of February, will provide information to visitors on Palace of Arts events in an elegant, easy to survey format complemented by more background material and new services.

By March 14, a photo album is to be published with the photos and guest book inscriptions of the best renowned artists who have performed at the Palace of Arts since 2005.

From March, we shall offer Palace of Arts Cards for sale. The cards will provide ticket pre purchase and several discount opportunities.

From January to June, you can join the game Five Star Experiences, the aim of which is that participants collect as many stars as possible in their coupon leaflets to be collected from the foyer and the ticket offices of the Palace of Arts. The rule is simple: in the lines marked by five different colours, players should stick the corresponding, i.e. five different stars. The right page of the complete coupon leaflets (after filling in the data on the back of the page by the holder), are to be put into the box opposite the entrance. The winners are to be drawn from those submitting their coupons. A person can certainly play with more than one coupon leaflets: the more leaflets somebody is able to fill with stars of various colours, the more chance they have for being drawn.

Where do you get the stars from?
1    There will be one star included in the programme leaflets of all one-night performances. You can purchase leaflets from the hostesses or at the information desk. In each of the catalogues of the photo competition Experience! in all respects, too, there will be a start included respectively.

5    Those purchasing any Palace of Arts souvenir worth over HUF 1,000 in Vince bookshop, will be given a star.
6    From March 14, you can purchase Palace of Arts cards. By the purchase of Experience Cards, you will get 5 stars; for Cards for Gourmands, you will get 20 stars.
7    Those granted a free entry to Ludwig Museum, holding a valid ticket to a Palace of Arts event, will also be given a star along with the free entry ticket.

The game is to begin on night of the performance “Sangre Flamenca” of Nuevo Ballet Español  on January 14 and is to continue up to the last performance of Budapest Wagner Days (Tristan and Isolde) on June 16. The date of the draw is June 17.
