Hi, How can we help?

Bikes
We’ve built a special bike parking close to the event. Follow the signs and park your bike there. Bikes parked at other inconvenient places will be removed due to safety regulations. Don’t forget to take your bike home: the bike-parking will be removed shortly after the event and bikes that are still there will be cut loose.
Special bike deals
Awakenings in the Gashouder can easily be reached by bike. To make it even easier for you to bike to the Gashouder, we've already figured out where you can rent a bike. Below you can see where you can rent a bike and for what price:

13 locations

Public Transport
Plan your travel with 9292 and be aware that during holidays traveling schedules of public transport may be different from their regular schedules.
Car
The address of the nearest parking is: Q-park Westerpark, Van Bleiswijkstraat 8, Amsterdam

You can get a parking ticket online for €31,00 or buy it at a cashier inside the Gashouder (exchange your online e-ticket at the locker desk at the event). This way you'll avoid paying the full amount of €2,- per 33 minutes at the ticket machines in the garage.

If Q-park Westerpark is full, there is Parkbee.com (only available with Parkline or Parkmobile) on:

- Haarlemmerweg 504
- Van Hogendorpstraat 28
- Van Beuningenstraat 92
- De Wittenkade 24

Be aware not to leave valuables in your car, thieves with bluetooth trackers seem to be active in the area.
Taxi
There will be a special taxi-stand near the Gashouder, just follow the signs to get to there. Remember there is a chance fewer taxis are available with ADE. And please beware of the illegal "taxi drivers" (called snorders). It's illegal to get in the taxi with them, fines for using them can run very high.
Uber
Travel easily, fast and comfortable with Uber to your next destination, you will find your driver at the pick up point near the Vredenhofweg. Please follow the pre-booked taxi signs.

All larger events are confronted with organizations and people that try to resell tickets for far too high prices. To prevent this, we ask ticket buyers to personalize all tickets by indicating the name of the person who will attend the event. By doing so, tickets will be available for a fair price and belong to an individual festival visitor. This also gives us the opportunity to send relevant event information to all respective festival visitors.

After purchasing your ticket(s) you will receive an email confirmation from Paylogic of the ticket purchase. This email will not yet include your tickets. To receive your tickets, you first have to personalize them. In the email with the purchase confirmation, you will receive further information regarding the personalization process, such as the date from which it is possible to personalize your tickets.

For each ticket, personal information needs to be filled in, such as the full name and email address of the person attending the event. Be aware that the information has to be unique for each ticket and please use the names as mentioned on the respective identification documents (passport/ID card).

After filling in the information, you will receive your personalized tickets. If you have not received your tickets within 24 hours, please contact the Paylogic Customer Service via customerservice@paylogic.com.

For ADE 2021; You can start personalizing your ticket(s) from 1 September on.

You do not have to personalize your tickets immediately; tickets can be personalized up to 48 hours before the event.

Tickets can be personalized up to 48 hours before the event. In case you forgot to personalize your tickets on time, you will be contacted by Paylogic.

Yes, before entering, the festival security can ask for your identification to check your name and age.

Please note that a copy of your identification document will not be accepted as a valid identification document. If there is another name on your ticket, access to the event can be denied. In such a case, the ticket cannot be refunded.

Do you have any other questions related to tickets? Please contact the customer service of Paylogic via customerservice@paylogic.com.

In case the name on a ticket needs to be changed (because you want to invite someone else to the event), you can do so via the link listed below. Please note that a service fee of €1,90 per ticket will be charged. Therefore, please try to enter your details correctly the first time.
If you would like to change the name, please sent an email to info@awakenings.nl
