Garanti BBVA Young Ticket Expands Discounts for Young People and Bonus Genç Customers

Garanti BBVA and Zorlu Performing Arts Center (Zorlu PSM), one of Istanbul's leading cultural venues, are strengthening their partnership to make arts and culture more accessible to young people. Following the positive results achieved during the first year of their collaboration, the two organizations are expanding the benefits of their joint program with new discounts on performances and cultural activities.

Starting October 1, the new Garanti BBVA Young Ticket category will offer 25% discounts on Zorlu PSM's in-house productions to young people aged 18 to 25. Garanti BBVA Bonus Genç customers will enjoy even greater benefits, with 50% off ticket prices and continued complimentary cloakroom services at the venue.

A Free Space to Foster Creativity and Connections Among Young People

The Garanti BBVA Young Space at Zorlu PSM will also continue to welcome university students free of charge, providing a place to meet, take part in workshops, and explore new cultural experiences.

The Garanti BBVA Young Ticket category will appear under the same name across all ticketing platforms and on tickets, making it easy for young people to identify available discounts.

A Partnership to Strengthen Young People's Connection With Culture

Ceren Acer Kezik, Executive Vice President of Garanti BBVA, underscored the importance of supporting young people beyond their financial needs. She explained that the bank aims to understand their changing priorities and support their personal, social, and professional development.

Ceren said these findings highlight the importance of creating spaces where young people can connect and enjoy new experiences. She noted that the partnership with Zorlu PSM provided discounted tickets to more than 750 events last year, with increased discounts this season expected to benefit even more young people.

“We want to help young people discover new experiences, develop their talents, and pursue their ambitions. Through partnerships like this, we will continue supporting them as they shape their own futures,” she added.

Filiz Ova, General Manager of Zorlu PSM, highlighted the success of the partnership in making arts and culture more accessible and establishing the venue as a welcoming space where young people can connect, explore, and find inspiration.

She explained that the Garanti BBVA Young Space and Young Ticket initiatives have created new opportunities for young people to engage with the arts and with one another. This season, the partnership aims to reach a wider audience, introduce young people to different art forms, and encourage them to become active participants in the cultural community.

“We believe the connections young people make with the arts today will shape the cultural landscape of tomorrow. We thank Garanti BBVA for sharing this vision and supporting the next generation,” Ova concluded.
