What are the differences between the entrance tickets?
We work in tiers. Ticket buyers that get their ticket early have more advantage regarding buying a ticket with a discount. The later you will buy your ticket, the more expensive it will be.
I can’t find my ticket?
No worries! You can find your ticket through this link: https://eventix.nl/search. Still can’t find your ticket? Please contact: [email protected]
Which payment methods are available to purchase tickets?
You can pay with iDeal, Bancontact, Sofort, CreditCard and PayPal through our official ticket channel Eventix.
The event is sold out, how can I get a ticket?
Unfortunately if the event is sold out, it is not possible to purchase tickets through Eventix our ticketing platform. You can visit www.tixel.com to join the waitlist, pre-authorise your card or safely purchase a resale ticket.
For the ArenA show, we basically have 3 different types of tickets, but each ticket has the option to add early entrance. With the regular tickets you can get in from 22:00, with the early entrance you can get in at 21:00 (even a little before that), to attend a special exclusive opening set.
Ticket types:
Normal access tickets are the regular tickets. You will enter through a personally assigned entrance, which we will announce before the event. Want to enter together with your friends? Buy tickets in the same order, or buy a premium ticket. With a Normal access ticket, you cannot access Premium areas.
Premium & Premium On-Stage tickets have many extra benefits! Which we have included in the info on this page below, under a different heading.
THE TICKET TYPES HAVE DIFFERENT TIERS.
That means: if you buy your ticket early, you’ll get a better price. Such as: Loyal, Early, Late, Final & Last minute.
*Ticket prices exclude 6,5% service costs and €1,50 entertainment tax.
Besides choosing a particular ticket type, you have the choice to get early entrance tickets. These tickets allow you to enter Verknipt ArenA earlier to attend the exclusive opening set.
Exlcusive opening set for early entrance ticketholders:
APHØTIC, NYCO and XRTN will be playing a special ‘Evolution set’. In which they will play only their own tracks & unreleased tracks. With this set they will be taking you on a journey: starting with old tracks to today’s track, and ends with their unreleased work.
Early entrance times: 21:00.
Early access is approximately € 10,- on top of the regular price.
Normal entrance times: 22:00
We have two different premium ticket options: Premium & Premium On-Stage, the difference between the two is mainly the areas you can enter! In addition, you have many more extra benefits compared to a Normal access ticket.
Premium Raver Ticket – Early Entrance [doors open 20:30] – € 149*
Premium Raver Ticket – Early Entrance includes:
For €10 less we also have premium tickets with regular entrance from 22:00. In that case you give up your early entrance spot, but still enjoy all the benefits of the premium tickets.
Premium On-stage Raver (incl. deck access) – Early Entrance ticket – €179*
A Premium On-stage Raver – Early Entrance ticket includes:
For €10 less we also have premium tickets with regular entrance from 22:00. In that case you give up your early entrance spot, but still enjoy all the benefits of the premium on stage tickets.
Can I scan my tickets on my phone?
Yes. Make sure to put the brightness of your phone on 100%.
I have been assigned an entrance, but would like to enter through a different one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to switch entrances. We therefore recommend always buying a ticket together with your friends! In this case, it is best to find a meeting point inside.
All Premium & Premium On-Stage ticket holders have the same entrance, so you can also choose the premium option together with your friends!
I can’t find my ticket?
No worries! You can find your ticket through this link: https://eventix.nl/search. Still can’t find your ticket? Please contact: [email protected]
All ticket prices mentioned above exclude the entertainment tax of €1.50 and the service costs for the ticketing provider.
The entertainment tax is a tax that has to paid to the City of Amsterdam since 2020 for every visitor of entertainment on water, on land (round trips) and city tours (with or without vehicle). This is mandatory for this particular event location.
What are ‘sealed tickets’ and why can’t I download the tickets?
Verknipt switched to a new and safer kind of tickets: sealed tickets. These tickets can only be viewed and downloaded shortly before the event. When it’s time to download your tickets, you will get a notification by email from Eventix (our ticket provider). If you’ve purchased tickets for a group of people, you’ll be able to assign the tickets or send them to your friends once they are available for download.
Why does Verknipt have ‘sealed tickets’?
Verknipt uses these sealed tickets because the ticket sale will be fairer. By using these tickets, it makes it impossible for scammers to resell their tickets through unofficial third parties/secondary markets. Tickets can only be sold through our verified partner ‘Tixel’. Through their integration with Eventix they exchange the ticket for a brand new one, so the buyer has a 100% chance to get into the event with the ticket. Also, it is not possible for sellers to ask more than 120% of the price through Tixel, so the ticket will always be sold for a fair price.
Please note: we handle a policy that prohibits ticket resale until 3 months before the event to prevent resellers and ensure that everyone gets a fair price.
Can I cancel or resale my ticket?
Tickets are non-refundable. It is not possible to cancel your tickets, however, you can sell them safely and securely through our official resale partner Tixel.
Please note: we handle a policy that prohibits ticket resale until 3 months before the event to prevent resellers and ensure that everyone gets a fair price. Via Tixel (our new resale partner) tickets cannot be sold for less than 10% under the lowest-priced ticket tier.
The event has been cancelled, what happens now?
If the event can’t take place due to Covid-19, you can request a refund.
Further instructions will be given through email, please wait patiently for this.
When will I receive my refund?
The process of refunding your ticket will be approximately 5 business days after confirmation.
As you can read above, we only work with sealed tickets. This means that our tickets are only sent out shortly before the event (usually one day before), which prevents a lot of scammers. But still it sometimes happens that one of our visitors gets scammed, because the tickets for our events are so wanted. We find this very inconvenient and we would like to warn you for this!
Tixel is the only 100% safe place where you can buy your second hand ticket for this event. On this platform, we exchange your ticket for a new one, so that the old one can no longer be used.
Please note: we handle a policy that prohibits ticket resale until 3 months before the event to prevent resellers and ensure that everyone gets a fair price. Via Tixel (our new resale partner) tickets cannot be sold for less than 10% under the lowest-priced ticket tier.
Watch out, and beat the scammers!
Unfortunately, we can NOT check if you bought a valid ticket second-hand, when you for example make a sale outside of Tixel.
Ways people unfortunately still get scammed:
– A PDF ticket is being sold. That’s not even possible, because our tickets are sealed. The PDF or it’s barcode are probably fake.
– A “private” sale is being done, where you have to pay extra before you can see your ticket. But you never receive the ticket, or they send you a fake one.
– The ticket buying page of the resale platform is counterfeited, causing you to make a payment on a website that is not secure (does not exist), or a payment link that is not linked to that website. You never receive the ticket, or they send you a fake one.
