All of our bars accept cash and contactless/debit card/credit card payment. We do not work with drink tokens.

No professional photo, video or audio equipment may be brought to performances without express permission. Consumer cameras are allowed, however. ‘Professional photo and video equipment’ includes any device with interchangeable lenses, and SLRs. Some artists prefer no photos to be taken at all, in which case the audience will be notified on the night itself.

Yes! An open Wi-Fi network is available throughout TivoliVredenburg, which offers an excellent Internet connection throughout the building, and in our café and restaurant.

Do I need hearing protection?

Some of our concerts are loud. We therefore advise always bringing hearing protection with you. We want our visitors to enjoy good music now, but we also want them to be able to do so in twenty years’ time.

All of our cloakrooms and bars offer free earplugs. Thunder Plugs can also be purchased for €3 from vending machines throughout our building.

Tickets

How do I redeem a voucher?

Do you have a voucher because a previous visit could not take place due to a relocation or cancellation? Then your voucher is linked to the account with which you ordered those tickets. If you order new tickets through this account, you will automatically see the option to pay with your voucher credit at checkout.

Voucher credit can only be spent at TivoliVredenburg and cannot be converted into cash.

Can I choose my own seat?

Yes, for concerts with reserved seating. You can choose where you want to sit when ordering a ticket online by indicating available seats on a seating chart. If you are not given this option when purchasing tickets, that means there is no reserved seating and you can sit where you like when entering the venue.

Why do I have to pay service fees?

Our service fees are designed to cover our (often hidden) overheads, such as use of the system software, online and offline sales channels, customer service and administration. The ticket price covers free use of our secure cloakrooms. As an extra service, free earplugs are available from the cloakrooms and bars. Service costs are always included in the entrance fee. The amount of the service costs depends on the ticket price, which is stated on the concert page.

Can I reserve or order tickets by telephone?

Unfortunately, tickets cannot be reserved or purchased over the phone.

Why are tickets on other websites sometimes more expensive than on yours?

Unfortunately, there are websites that purchase and sell our tickets at a profit. There are dozens of these unofficial pre-sale businesses that buy tickets in bulk and sell them on at a higher price. These tickets are not only more expensive, but sometimes are not even valid.

We therefore advise you only to buy tickets via www.tivolivredenburg.nl, we will only ever direct you to official sales channels. Never just click on the first link that appears in Google – always visit the website run by the artist, organiser or venue where the event is being held.
