The students ticket gets you out of Marburg easily, but it doesn't grant access to city life. The possibility to enjoy the cultural life is not given due to rising living expenses. A phenomenon which also effects the cultural institutions themself. Netflix, Amazon, Spotify and others degrade cultural life to a profitable market. Critical art gets ignored, especially when no one is able to profit from it. At the same time critical and alternative art and culture are important, because they support the formation of a critical society that recognizes, denounces and fights against social wrongs. For this reason we want to integrate the cultural life of Marburg into the students ticket. A finance model based upon solidarity allows students with less income on the one hand to participate and on the other hand enables the option to organize extensive excursions. Art and culture are essential components of our society and therefore should not be dictated by capitalistic constraints!
