The Culture Pass can be bought only online, and it comes with a downloadable PDF with an event overview that helps to plan your evening.

One pass costs 125 DKK, and the best part? It also includes free public transportation of metro, trains, and buses across zones 1-99 in Copenhagen from 15:00 to 21:00.
