Two fair ways to be seen by the live-culture crowd.
Noktürn sends people out to concerts, jam sessions, cabaret and burlesque, festivals, workshops, masterclasses, open mics, vinyl nights, operas, busking and DJ sets. They need coffee before, a table after, a bed for the night, a clean restroom, a ride home and somewhere to park. Give them something, or book a placement — either way you are on the map.
Track 1 — Give a perk, stay free
Offer ticket holders something real: a free coffee, a welcome drink, a dessert, 10% off the bill, a free hour of parking. You are listed at no charge, because the audience gets value back. You only ever "spend" the perk when a real visitor walks in and scans their voucher.

No perk, no problem. Book a placement instead. It is ordinary advertising: we invoice it, it is clearly marked as Werbung / Sponsored, and it runs month to month — cancel whenever you like.
See the prices30 days free for newcomers
Every business new to Noktürn gets a 30-day trial listing, marked as a trial, so you can see real views and clicks before deciding anything. When the 30 days are up you either offer a perk and stay free, or pick one of the placements below. Nothing renews automatically and no card is needed to start.
Paid visibility — newcomer prices
Deliberately set below what established city portals and venue directories ask, because we are new and we want you in early. Monthly, cancel any time. Pay for a year and you get two months free.
The same thing, told simply
Imagine a café in Köln. Somebody looks up what is on in Köln tonight.
- Town listing — the café appears among the places in Köln. It is there to be found, like a name in a phone book. The visitor may have to scroll to see it.
- Featured venue — the café sits near the top of that same list, so it is one of the first names the visitor reads.
- Town exclusive — the café is the only paid café in Köln on Noktürn. No competing café can buy a paid place in that town while the booking runs. Bars, hotels or parking can still book their own kind.
That is all you are buying: how easy you are to find in your own town. Paid places are always marked “Werbung / Sponsored” and never change which events we recommend. Every business also gets 30 days free first, so you can see your real views and clicks before paying anything.

The amounts above are the reference rates for an ordinary German city. Smaller towns and villages, and countries with a lower price level, pay less — look up your own place below. Prices are final amounts; as a small business under § 19 UStG we do not charge VAT. You receive a proper invoice for every payment.
Your town, your price
Type your city, town or village and we show the rate reserved for that place. Rates follow the size of the audience and the general price level of the country, so a village pays far less than a capital.
Why we do not call this a donation
If you pay us and get visibility in return, that is advertising, not a gift — so we invoice it, label it, and declare it. Paid placement never changes how events are ranked in the calendar or in Radar, and it never buys a review, a rating or an editorial mention. If you simply want to support the guide without any placement, tell us and we will treat it exactly as that: support, with nothing given in return.
