Pay It Forward
Ask for a seat.
If the price is the reason you are not coming, ask. That is what these seats are for.
There is no means test. You are not asked to explain your circumstances and there is nothing to prove.
A gifted seat is an ordinary ticket with an ordinary barcode, covered by a full discount. Nobody is seated separately or named from the front, and nobody in the room — including us at the door — knows which seat is which.
The one thing you carry is a promise made to somebody who is not us: one good deed for another person, before the evening. Nobody checks it. There is no proof to send and no report to make, because it only means anything if it comes from you.
If you want to, share what you did and tag Jorn Ayan afterwards, so it has a chance to reach someone else. Only if you want to — an invitation to inspiration, never an obligation.
Asking takes a name, an email and that one promise. Both sides of Pay It Forward live on one page, so you can see exactly what the other half is agreeing to as well.
