Every Prague citizen can now book a concert online, put a pin on the map – a hospital courtyard, nursing home garden or on any street – and start crowdfunding for tickets. When enough people chip in, the concert takes place. The procedure is simple – people register at hrajemedooken.cz [playing into windows] and then identify the preferred music genre and location. The organizer then checks the availability of artists and the suitability of the chosen venue. In the next ten days, people buy online tickets for the concert. Every musician gets paid from the tickets the “civic promoter” crowdfunds online. The tickets can be bought at both GoOut.cz and Donio.cz platforms; the initiative is also joined by Rohlík.cz, which enables grocery shoppers to support concerts.
