Patron ticket
Does culture play an important part in your life?
Are you a theatre fan, HaDivadlo’s fan in particular?
Despite being part of a subsidized state-funded institution, our existence cannot be taken for granted. We have operated in a “low-cost mode” on a long-term basis, thoroughly considering all of our activities from the financial perspective. At the same time, we continue our pursuit of innovation and develop projects we consider important.
We firmly believe that public institutions should be accessible to everyone and we are aware of the responsibility we have being such institution. Cultural institutions need the support of their audiences and partners.
Our Patron ticket worth CZK 1 620 is the easiest way to really support HaDivadlo.
From the end of 2023, we offer the Patron ticket holders eight types of our patron “typo-graphics” to choose from. When purchasing your ticket online, please drop by our box office in Alfa pasáž to collect your print.

How to purchase a Patron ticket?

- Patron tickets can also be purchased at our box office where we can pack the ticket as a gift if you wish.
- Patron tickets are also available in form of a gift voucher valid for one year. The recipient of the voucher can then choose the show they wish to see. The voucher can be purchased online as well as in person at the box office.
- If you have questions regarding the purchase or wish to obtain an invoice, please contact our box office attendant Vendula Možnarová.
We believe that a rich cultural offering is a sign of a developed society and has an irreplaceable place in it. In addition to that, it is important that cultural and other offerings are available for everyone. In today’s world, we can quite accurately calculate the value of material things, but determining the value of non-material concepts is much more complicated.
Running a professional theatre requires sufficient resources to cover numerous costs. It requires not only financial resources for show production but also full engagement of the creative team, technical and service staff during every performance. Just like any other company or institution, a theatre must also pay for energy and other operating costs. Although we run our theatre using economic and low-cost solutions in all respects, it is impossible to cover all necessary costs using the founder’s contribution and our own sales. For theatres like ours, where the main mission is “experimental theatre”, it is extremely difficult to forecast sales. Even commercially-oriented theatres do not know until the last moment whether a show will be popular with audience members or not. Given the nature of our projects that seek without compromise to render true meaning of things and often contradict the marketing approach in which “offer satisfies demand”, forecasting is even more difficult. But thanks to this “non-market” behaviour, our audience members have a special experience, unlike anything they can see in other theatres. Our theatre is a place for unique productions to be born and take place.
Just like living organisms, every “healthy” theatre needs to evolve, embark on more demanding projects, collaborate with interesting guests, get involved in international collaborations, use effective technologies etc. That, of course, goes hand in hand with higher needs for funding.
If we strictly followed the “market logic”, prices of our tickets would be much higher than they are today in order to cover all above-mentioned costs. That would make our theatre unaffordable for most of our audience members.
We calculated our real operating costs and measured them against our audience capacity. We established the average “real price” of our ticket (no “margin” included). The calculated price amounted to CZK 1 620.
And that’s how much our Patron ticket costs!
Anyone can be a patron, the amount of support is not important. It is a matter of principle – to support something you consider important and useful in the way your financial situation allows you. If more people adopt this approach, we believe it can only positively impact our society.
