    First time visiting Amsterdam, what is transport like back to the city centre after a show?
    Easy. Buy your return ticket before the show though so you can just hop on the train. The line for people buying tickets is crazy after the show.

    It also depends on where you're staying. You can take the GVB Metro from Centraal Station or other stations, which is part of the GVB Day Cards  ....   The cards work on the Metro, Trams, & Buses for 1 to 7 days - https://en.gvb.nl/ontdek-amsterdam/gvb-dag-meerdagenkaart -  

    If you get a GVB day card there's no need to really pay extra for train... 

    Once you get an address of where you're staying simply use the "GVB travel planner"  to show best routes... ie... Tram, Metro..etc.. 
    http://maps.gvb.nl/en/route/5a3435a30c244 - Your destination will be Station Bijlmer ArenA - Ziggo Dome is at the Ajax ArenA Complex... Shopping, Restaurants, Train & Metro...etc.. So easy walking distance from Bijlmer Station to Ziggo...






    Amsterdam has one of the best public transportation systems around,,,

  • What would be a good hotel for this visit?  Prices seem crazy high for that week?
    fortunate to have been to many shows... but my top 3 are: Soldier Field 7/11/95 (sound track of my youth) Wrigley 7/19/13 MSG 5/21/10

    Amsterdam GA for me.

    Transportation is great. You should have no problem getting to and from the Ziggo Dome.

    Hotels are always expensive that time of year. Check out this one: http://www.artemisamsterdam.com/nl/
    It's a nice hotel. Also close to the tube. Approx 20 minutes to the Ziggo Dome
    No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead...

    I'm in, but only for the first night unfortunately :(  I tried but couldn't get the extra day off work! 

    I fly in the day of the show, get to Schiphol at 11am.  I'm staying at Mauro Mansion and it looks like loads of fun!  I can't wait.

    So it looks like the train from Amsterdam Central to Bijlmer Arena Station is direct and only takes 20 mins or so.  Pretty good :)

    Hardcore! My flight the next day isn't until 4.45pm so I have time to wander around town. I should've booked an early flight and I would've joined you at the airport!

    Anyone know how Amsterdam GA works? Is there a 10c section upfront or just whole floor GA. I don’t plan on waiting in line.
