Tivoli
Shareholder admission card
Tivoli runs the amusement gardens in central Copenhagen, with rides, restaurants, concerts and theatre.
What you get
The Aktionærkort gives the shareholder free admission to Tivoli Gardens with one companion each day. It carries the same rights and member benefits as Tivoli’s Silver card (Tivolikort Sølv).
Enter with your guest
The Silver-card rules require your companion to enter with you and be a family member, friend, colleague or business contact. On some days Tivoli may close its entrances or restrict re-entry for safety reasons, even for cardholders.
Bringing children
You can also bring up to two children aged 3–7 without paying admission. Further children in that age group pay the full child admission price. Children under 3 enter Tivoli free anyway.
Admission and rides are separate
The card gets you into the gardens. Ride passes are a separate purchase. Shareholder cardholders can buy Tivolikort admission passes and Turpas ride passes at 15% off through Tivoli’s shareholder shop.
What it takes
You need at least 100 Tivoli shares.
Your shares must be registered in your name and held together in one Danish securities account (depot). Register your email address in the Investor Portal run by Euronext Securities too.
Before buyingA perk is a minor benefit of owning a share, not a reason to buy one. Share prices fall as well as rise, and dealing costs, spreads and tax can exceed a perk’s value. Read about the risks.
Holding through a broker
Shares must be registered in your own name.
Tivoli checks only the holdings in VP’s online shareholder register. Its terms do not give a separate route for investors whose shares sit under an overseas broker’s name. Ask your broker whether it can provide the required name registration in one Danish account; no broker route has been tested.
Other conditions
- Where the benefit applies
- Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, Denmark
- Age and residency
- Tivoli’s card terms specify a Danish securities account, but do not state a nationality or residence restriction.
How to claim
Tivoli reads the name-registered holding from VP’s online shareholder register. Individual holders do not need to send a purchase notice or account statement when the holding and email are registered.
- 1. Check the registrationAsk your bank to confirm the name registration and that the qualifying shares are together in one Danish account. Check that your email address is registered in the Investor Portal.
- 2. Wait for Tivoli’s emailTivoli creates the membership automatically when the conditions are met. Allow up to five weekdays after Tivoli can see the holding in VP’s register; it cannot see a new purchase before settlement.
- 3. Open the card in the appDownload Tivoli’s app and create a Mit Tivoli profile using the same email address as in the Investor Portal. The card attaches to that profile automatically. For a physical card, take Tivoli’s confirmation email to the Service Center at the main entrance.
Exclusions and limits
Usage limits: One personal shareholder card, regardless of how many shares or accounts you hold. The card carries one name, matching the share registration.
Dates
The published terms do not say when you must own the shares or how long you must hold them.
- Expiry
- Tivoli reuses the card across seasons and closes membership when the qualifying conditions are no longer met. Its board decides the right to an admission card one year at a time.
Practical notes
If the card does not arrive
Check the name registration and email first. Tivoli warns that name registration can disappear after a bank change or share transfer. If both are correct, email investor@tivoli.dk with your InvestorID if available, name, address and account number.
Shares held by a company
The company must be name-registered and tell Tivoli whom to issue the personal card to. Send the details to investor@tivoli.dk.
Company story
A garden for return visits
Georg Carstensen opened Tivoli on 15 August 1843 after gaining the king’s permission. Tivoli’s history names Hans Christian Andersen among its early visitors and credits the gardens with inspiring The Nightingale.
Return visits became part of the business early. From 1845, visitors could buy admission subscriptions: one for a gentleman, another for a gentleman and a lady, and a third for a gentleman and two ladies. These were paid visitor passes.
What Walt Disney came to see
Tivoli says Walt Disney visited both before and after Disneyland opened in California in 1955. He wanted to understand the gardens’ atmosphere and recreate it in his own park. The company’s history illustrates the story with a photograph from his 1964 visit.
