As a student at JLU, you benefit from various flat rates that your AStA has negotiated for you. These currently include cinema, swimming pool and theatre flat rates.
Why flat rate models?
Normally, cinema visits, theatre performances or tickets for swimming pools have a fixed price for visitors. There are often reductions or discounts for schoolchildren, students or senior citizens, for example. The cheapest options are often subscription models or annual tickets, which are significantly cheaper per visit above a certain frequency of use, but also have a relatively high price.
As the representative body of the student body, the AStA has the opportunity to enter into negotiations on behalf of all of its students. For providers, this has the advantage that the income from such long-term contracts is secure and predictable, as there is no risk of losing revenue due to a bad season or similar. This is why the AStA is a popular contractual partner for companies and has a strong negotiating position, allowing it to negotiate rates that are significantly reduced compared to regular prices.
