    I ordered a custom made Netherlands soccer jersey kit. Orange/black with the # 10 and PEARL JAM on the back of jersey. Has the FIFA World Cup 2014 patch on the sleeve. Pumped to get it and see how it looks. Cost me $55

    I'll be Rocking out wearing that Jersey one of the Amsterdam shows !! 4 Weeks till we drive to Chicago and get on flight to Amsterdam. (connection Stockholm, Copenhagen) Everyone else PUMPED?

    Some talk of Dampkring Coffeeshop meet up on the 15th,, 6pm.. but that's unofficial ..

    The Canal Cruise has only 6 people interested, so I don't know about that.. but Boom Chicago still does the cruise on a daily basis anyways..

    Official Wishlist Foundation pre-party info can be found on their Facebook page.

    I'm pretty new to this community, but I'm definitely interested in any meet ups before the shows... looking forward to meeting some of you and catching some amazing shows. Please keep me posted if anyone comes up with any definitive plans.

    When you get to the airport buy a train ticket to Centraal Station, the ride takes about 10 minutes, Once at Centraal go in the GVB /Tourist office right out front... can't miss it.. Go in and buy the day ticket for the number of you days you wish.. then use it to go anywhere in Amsterdam on the metro subway, tram or bus line...

    Exit to airport in reverse order.. ;)

    Something I've been wondering about and maybe stressing unnecessarily...

    I've freed up two credit cards for use in Amsterdam/Paris/Brussels but being American, these cards are the US-standard magnetic strip kind. Another credit card has chip technology but I'm almost maxed out on it and want to avoid using it if possible.

    How many times in 11 days that I'll be there will I actually need a card with chip technology? What types of place require it? Which don't at all?

    I'll have some spending cash on hand, but still am a little worried

    I am an American living in Ireland, where most everyone has a card with chip technology. Most places will still let me swipe and sign the receipt. But an easier way could be to bring your ATM card and with draw cash as needed.

    No, these tickets (which are for public transport in Amsterdam city) do not work to get to Utrecht & Tilburg. For those you'll have to buy train tickets at the train station. Both venues (TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht and 013 in Tilburg) are quite close to the train station, say a 10 minute walk or so.

    Like Buck said, it's just easier to use ATM's/ Cash Machines... I know from experience some of the train ticket machines will not accept non chip cards, almost got stuck at night once, so don't do that...hahah

    Other than that, I've only ran across a couple of instances when the non-chip card was an issue, but if I remember correctly those were smaller places. Department stores, Hotels, Restaurants, etc.. never remember any issue.

    Just remember to notify the bank/s for any cards you plan to use while out of the country... or the first time you use card the bank will slap a fraud hold.. You have to call and give them the dates of travel.

    Day cards are for Amsterdam City travel..

    You'll just need to go to Centraal Station and grab a Intercity train for those shows. No need to buy tickets in advance for those trains.


    The main rail network in the Netherlands is made up of the following regional and Intercity trains:
    Intercity trains link larger cities like Amsterdam, Utrecht and Maastricht.
    Sprinter trains connect regional destinations with larger Dutch cities. These trains are slower than Intercity trains    .
