    Hey guys,

    Please PM me if you have an extra ticket to either show. A pair will work as well.

    Thanks!

    Wish I could help you out. We didn't win 10C reserved for either show and had to go the hated ticket master route... but just happy to be in the building,

    I just cant wait to see the shows Back-to-Back nights... I have a feeling the first show will be amazing in its own ways, then the feeling of "Holy Shit we get to see them again, what do I expect the second show?!" Cant wait for that moment.

    I wound up splitting my stay in Amsterdam between 2 hotels. The two nights before the PJ show I'm staying near the Museums because that's the primary thing I want to see, then the two nights OF the PJ shows I'm staying in that overpriced chain hotel near the ziggo dome. I figured the extra $$ would be worth not having to deal with the exodus back into the city both nights, especially since I'm flying mid afternoon after the last show.

    Traveling back to the Center after the show won't be a big issue. Between the Trains, Metro, etc.. you won't have to wait. Went to a sold out Ajax match last year and it was not a big deal. Unlike here in the US, they actually have public transportation that works... By the way, most of the underground Metro is brand spanking new.. only 5 miles from Station Bijlmer ArenA to Centraal Station.

    Not much in the way of Night Life and no coffeeshops in the Bijlmer ArenA / Ziggo Dome area. There is an outdoor shopping area and a few restaurants on the opposite side of the Arena from Ziggo, but most of it looked like it closed early.

    Amsterdam ArenA may be a few kilometres away from the city centre but it is easy to reach by public transport. Among other things, ArenA is home to its very own Train and Metro (subway) station named Bijlmer ArenA. Unlike the Metro stops in the centre which are underground, this particular station is above ground. Station Bijlmer ArenA is 10 stops from Amsterdam Central Station, but you can also catch a line from Nieuwmarkt and Waterlooplein.

    I'm not an expert on Amsterdam, but having been there twice in the last 2 years gives me at least a good tourist point of view.

    My #1 advice would be to check out AIRBNB.com for apartments. It's very common in Amsterdam for people rent out apartments for short stays and you can find some really amazing deals. Most of them are set up for tourist, making it a very easy process. Having done both, hotel and apartment, we will never go back and stay in a hotel again. Find a place near a tram and you won't regret it.

    Definitely stay in the city. No need to stay by the Ziggo Dome. It's an easy metro in and out. After the show you'll be in no man's land. In terms of flying, city center is ideal to get to the main train station which runs trains out to the airport.
