Why should I get an ESN card?

An ESNcard gives you discounts for many of our events, as well as discounts with our partners. Partners include Timetravels (who organise trips with us, such as to Norway, Lapland, or Iceland), Flixbus, Ryanair, many hostels, and more. You can find more information about the available discounts on the ESNcard website.

Is it necessary to have a picture on the card?

The card is not valid without a picture, so you might not be able to take advantage of our partner discounts.

Where can I get a picture for the card?

You can just print any picture on normal paper in colour or black-and-white.

How can I benefit from the Ryanair discount?

Follow the instructions at esncard.org/ryanair.

I have an ESNcard from another section. Can I use it here?

Yes, you can benefit from the same partner discounts. However, you must be a member of ESN Lund to get discounts on our events.

I lost my ESNcard. Can I get a new one?

You can purchase a new ESNcard in our office.

Events

Where can I sign up for the Timetravels trips (to Iceland, Norway or Lapland)?

The ticket release and all information will be posted on our Instagram.

Do I have to be quick when signing up for trips?

The trips usually sell out fast, so be ready when the tickets are released!

I did not get a spot. Is it still possible to sign up?

Unfortunately no, but sometimes people sell tickets in the Whatsapp group if they are not able to go. If we see that an event is very popular, we will try to arrange more of these in the future.

Is it necessary to be a member to join the trips and activities?

For most events you don’t have to be a member but there’s usually a cheaper price for ESN members.

Can I pay for an event by cash?

If there are still tickets available, you can pay by cash in our office. This does not apply to Timetravels trips as all payments are handled by them.
