Membership

A short guide to the Müpa+ membership programme

Admission

  • Participation is free but admission is subject to registration.
  • The program is only available to natural persons above 18 years.
  • Information required for registration: name, email address, residence, year of birth, telephone number (preferably mobile), preferred genres and password (to log in to the website).
  • To join in, you must also sign up for the newsletter and accept the Data Protection Guide and the Terms and Conditions of the Müpa+ membership programme.
  • Members are entitled to use the Müpa+ membership card. You can request your membership card in person at our ticket offices or from our information desk staff. The card must be presented when making purchases at ticket offices, or when claiming discounts or attending programmes.
  • If you applied in person by filling out the registration form, you will receive confirmation of your successful registration via email, after which you may create a password to log in to the website.
  • Members who join via the Internet can, after successfully completing the registration process, view information related to the membership programme on their personal subpage by opening the Membership programme menu item on the website.
  • The e-mail address provided at the time of joining the programme is the most authentic and important channel of communication, so it is only possible to change it later by sending a request to the e-mail address info@mupa.hu.

Operation

  • The program aims at the collection of membership points to reach various discount levels.
  • Upon the purchase of a ticket or season ticket for our own shows, after each 100 Forints spent, we shall credit 1 point to the membership card of the participants.
  • To do this, you only have to present your membership card when shopping in person or logging in when shopping online.
  • Membership points will only be awarded for Müpa Budapest’s own productions and for the programmes of the Bartók Spring International Arts Weeks and the Liszt Fest International Cultural Festival, after purchasing a maximum of 8 tickets per performance. (Performances organised by Müpa Budapest are those for which Müpa Budapest is listed as the presenter on the website.) Information about the number of membership points issued per performance can be found on the website under the ‘Buy Tickets’ button.
  • You will also get membership points for buying Müpa Budapest gift certificates.
  • The more points you collect, the higher membership programme level (Silver, Gold, Platinum) you can reach. Each subsequent level includes the services of the previous ones.
  • With your successful registration, you are immediately placed on the first (basic) level of the membership programme and may move up to the Silver level after gathering 500 points.
  • You can use all services and discounts on each level for 380 days (=365+15 gift days) after you reached it, unless you move up to a higher discount level sooner.
  • Upon reaching the point limit of a given level, the points corresponding to the point limit in question will automatically be deducted. If you change levels within 380 days, we shall only deduct the difference between the two limits.
  • If you stay on the same discount level for 380 days, on the last day you will move to the highest possible discount level for the next 380 days, according to your available membership points. The points of such level will be deducted from your points collected over the past 380 days.
  • The services of the highest, Platinum level are provided for a period of 12 months (365+15 days) from attainment. After 380 days, level members are placed at the highest membership level possible afforded by their current point balance. By collecting and redeeming 3,500 points, the following 380 days they can again enjoy the benefits of the Platinum level.
  • You will receive an e-mail notice of points redeemed or changes in discount levels within 24 hours. You can use all discounts and services on the new level after receipt of the e-mail notice.
  • Participants can access information on their own Membership programme status, including services available for their membership level, their point collection log, registration for Membership programme events, and the current double membership point awarding offers, at any time under the Membership menu point of the website.
    Information on the most recent and current Membership programme offers and events is sent in the personalised Müpa newsletter.
