Hong Kong's third places

Find your next third place

Cafés, bookshops, studios and small stages, and the people who gather there. Find what's on, book a place, and walk in with a ticket that works even without signal.

What's a third place?

Not home. Not work. The place in between.

Home is the first place and work is the second. The third is where you go because you want to: the café that knows your order, a reading night at the bookshop, a Sunday workshop in a studio.

thirdspace brings these places, and what's on there, into one app.

Home Work Third place
Our mark is that idea, drawn as one line.

Three modes

One app. Three lights.

thirdspace changes its light to match who you are right now: going out, running the event, or working the door.

Payments

We never touch the money.

Organisers collect payment themselves. thirdspace shows you how to pay them, and nothing is ever charged in the app.

Organisers can accept

  • FPS
  • Bank transfer
  • PayMe
  • Cash at the door
  1. Reserve your place

    Nothing is charged in the app.

  2. See how to pay

    The organiser's payment details, a reference and a deadline.

  3. Pay the organiser

    Directly, with the method they accept.

  4. Your ticket goes live

    Your QR ticket appears once they confirm they received it.

Organisers: payments go straight to you, and you confirm each one in your studio.

Offline

No signal? Still in.

Basements, old buildings, a crowded street: the door still works.

Tickets that open offline

Your ticket is saved on your phone and opens without a connection. If the event changes, it updates when you reconnect.

Scanning that keeps going

Staff download the guest list once and keep scanning offline. Check-ins sync as soon as they are back online.

Do tickets work without a connection?
