Practical

Lockers can be rent at the location. It is not possible to buy a locker in advance.

The ArenA is the biggest we have hosted an event so far, with a capacity for 40.000 ravers. Therefore it is necessary to work with different entrances to stimulate a fast and efficient entry.  

One month before the event, it will be visible on your ticket through which entrance you can enter the venue.  Please check this thoroughly to prevent long waiting queues and stimulate fast entry.

Don’t bring large bags!

It’s not allowed to take large bags into the venue. Handbags that fit within A4 size and are less than 10 cm thick are an exception to this rule. Please note, there is no cloakroom and there are no lockers available for big bags. We do recommend leaving your bags at home.

It is NOT possible to bring a bag larger than an A4 size into the Johan Cruijff ArenA. These are the rules of Johan Cruijff ArenA, which we must follow. For more information, you can check the website of Johan Cruijff ArenA.

This event is cashless!

This is a cashless venue. You can only pay with PIN at the event. If you did bring cash, you can exchange it for cash cards near the entrance. With these cash cards, you can then make a card payment at the bar to pay for your food and drinks.

Until what time can I enter the event? 

The event will take place on the 20th of July from 22:00 till 07:00. The doors are open until 02:00. If you arrive later, we are permitted to refuse entry. Please be on time!

Can I bring lollipops and chewing gum to the event?

Chewing gum isn’t allowed at our indoor events, because it damages the venue. Please, respect the venue where the event is held! If you want to bring something that provides fresh breath, you may bring a sealed pack of breath mints to the event. Dextro is also allowed. 

You are not allowed to bring food & beverages to the events of Verknipt. Which means lollipops are not allowed either. But, we will make sure that lollipops can be purchased at the events.

What are ‘sealed tickets’ and why can’t I download the tickets?

Recently Verknipt switched to a new 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 the 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 ‘TicketSwap’ by Secure Swap. Through Secure Swap 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 TicketSwap, so the ticket will always be sold for a fair price.

Is it possible to resell my ‘sealed tickets’?

If you decide to sell your ticket, it is only possible to do so through our verified partner ‘TicketSwap‘. You need your confirmation email to view your order. At the bottom of your order you will find a blue button, click the button to resell the tickets on TicketSwap. Only this way you can resell your tickets. Can’t find your confirmation mail with your order? 

Keep in mind that the maximum asking price for a resold ticket is 120% of the original ticket price and that selling your ticket(s) to a new visitor always happens through Secure Swap. After selling, you can no longer use the ticket as it will be declared invalid.
