Pay It Forward
One seat can keep moving.
A HeartString evening can begin with a seat somebody else has already covered.
How it works
- PlanA concert or circle is planned
- GiftSomeone buys a ticket for a stranger in need
- ReceiveThe gift is received with gratitude
- Pay it forwardGratitude becomes an act of kindness for another stranger
- ShareThe word spreads — only if, and how, you choose
- GrowSupport grows the circle of gratitude, around the world
One person covers a seat they will never sit in. Somebody else takes it. What is asked in return is nothing — and what is invited is one good deed, passed to a third person who will never know where it started.
A gifted seat is an ordinary seat. It is issued as a normal ticket with a normal barcode, covered by a full discount. Nobody is seated separately, named from the front, or asked to explain themselves — and nobody in the room, including us at the door, knows which seat is which.
Two sides of the same seat
Both sides are here. Read whichever one is yours.
An invitation to inspiration. Never an obligation. The one thing we ask you to carry is a promise to somebody who is not us: one good deed for another person, before the evening. Nobody checks. There is no proof to send and no report to make — it only means anything if it comes from you.
Gift a seat
Cover a seat for somebody you will probably never meet. You pay for one ticket; we hold it until somebody asks for it.
Leave your name and email and we will send you the payment link.
You are never told who received it, and they are never told who gave it. Nothing is owed back to HeartString by anyone.
Ask for a seat
If the price is the reason you are not coming, ask. That is exactly what these seats are for. There is no means test and you are not asked to explain your circumstances.
Leave your name and email and we will send you your ticket.
And if you want to, share what you did and tag Jorn Ayan, so it can reach someone else. Only if you want to.
Still wondering?
Gifts and requests are matched quietly, and neither side is ever told who the other is.
