Milan Offers Citizens Vouchers for Theater, Cinema, and Concert Tickets

other · 2026-04-27

The Municipality of Milan has launched "Milano che spettacolo!," a €90,000 voucher initiative running from October 24 to November 14, 2021, to revive the live entertainment sector post-pandemic. Partnering with Intesa Sanpaolo and supported by AGIS Lombarda, the program offers 9,000 vouchers worth €5 and 3,000 vouchers worth €15 for discounted tickets to theaters, cinemas, concerts, and live clubs. A citywide advertising campaign using posters, digital banners, social media, newsletters, Web TV, and radio will promote the initiative. Assessor to Culture Filippo Del Corno stated it is a concrete sign of support for a sector that suffered most from pandemic restrictions. The initiative follows the "Bauli in piazza" protest by entertainment workers in Piazza del Duomo nearly a year ago, which sought to prevent prolonged closures that caused drastic revenue drops. Detailed access instructions and a list of participating operators will be released in the coming weeks.
