Hi, How can we help?

The Dutch Government announced a lockdown in the Netherlands till the 18th of December.

For now, we hope to dance together during our NYE events at the Gashouder in Amsterdam.

If the rules change again within a few weeks and we are forced to cancel our NYE events, we will contact all ticket buyers and we will refund your tickets within 7 days.

You can start personalizing your ticket from 10 december on. You will receive an email from Paylogic on 10 December with the instructions.

You can not enter after two hours from the end and no re-entrance after leaving the party!

So for example if the event is till 08:00, you are not allowed to enter after 06:00.

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:

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).

Step 1: Booker will receive email from Paylogic with link to the personalization-environment

Step 2: Booker will arrive in the ‘My order’ personalization environment

Step 3: Click on ‘Personalize’ and then on ‘Claim’

Step 4: Fill out data

Step 5 (optional): If you have multiple tickets, click on 'send' to send an invite to the co-visitor

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 NYE 2021/22; You can start personalizing your ticket(s) from 1 December 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.

You can still sell your ticket through Ticketswap, after the personalization.

1. Sell your ticket through Ticketswap, the new ticket owner will receive a new e-ticket with their name on it.
