The receipt is the performance ticket... Taebaekseo The Pict ‘Coexistence Festa’ held on the 14th to 15th

A unique festival will be held where receipts received from small business stores in the Taebaek area will be converted into performance tickets.

The Pickt, which operates an artificial intelligence (AI) and software company in the Gangwon region, announced on the 11th that it will hold the '2026 Taebaek Co-existence Festa with Receipt Concert' at the Taebaek Hwangji Pond Cultural Square on the 14th to 15th together with the Taebaek City Cultural Foundation.

It is hosted by the Taebaek City Cultural Foundation, co-hosted by the Foundation and The Pickt, and sponsored by Taebaek City and the Taebaek City Council.

Visitors can receive an admission bracelet by presenting a physical paper receipt of a purchase of 100 won or more at a Taebaek local currency Tantan Pay affiliated store from October 1st to the day of the event at the on-site authentication booth.

Receipts from large distribution stores and entertainment and gambling industries are excluded.

The performance will be performed by a famous singer from 6 PM to 9 PM on the 14th and from 4 PM to 6 PM on the 15th.

Certification and ticket booths will operate from 3 PM on the 14th and 2 PM on the 15th.

The audience is assigned a reserved seating system, and seats are assigned on-site according to the admission bracelet number.

Parking spaces are limited, so public transportation is recommended, and inquiries about the event can be made through the KakaoTalk channel 'Receipt Concert'.

In particular, this event attracts attention as the consumption of concertgoers leads to sales at local small businesses and traditional markets.

Previously, The Pickt also operated a payback system in the '2026 Chuncheon Union Marathon' held last month, returning a portion of the participation fee to Chuncheon Love Gift Certificates to help the event benefit local competition.

Jeon Chang-dae, CEO of The Pickt, said, “We will create a virtuous cycle in which a receipt from a Taebaek store turns into sales for small business owners and performances for citizens and tourists,” and added, “We will expand the model of adding culture to the local economy to the entire Gangwon-do region.”
