Consistent commitment to homeless people
oeticket has been supporting Caritas Austria for a year so that social commitment can also be practiced within the team of Austria’s largest e-commerce company. Small teams from oeticket have already cooked several times in the Caritas “crypt”, which is one of the best-known contact points for homeless people in Vienna – and not just in the cold season. In December 2022, numerous oeticket employees took part in a “Shades Tour”, during which homeless people, refugees and addicts are guided through the federal capital and raise awareness of their problems. More than a third of the entire oeticket team is regularly involved in social projects to make a contribution to the community.
“At oeticket, it is important to us not only to provide financial help, but also to understand people’s worries and needs and to derive concrete support measures from them. In live entertainment we experience happy people who enjoy their free time at over 76,000 events a year. “It is all the more important for us, together with Caritas Austria, to focus on people whose problems are easily overlooked in everyday life.”
so „Be Live“-Initiatorin Silvia Feilmayr.
