ADNIGHT Afterparty tickets will give you guaranteed access to the official afterparty at The Other Side, but it does not give you access to the rest of the festival. Make sure to also buy an ADNIGHT Festival tickets to enjoy all of ADNIGHT.

Why do I need to fill in my profession?

This makes it easier for the ADNIGHT organization to brief agencies on programs relevant for as many visitors as possible.

Can I buy a ticket for the afterparty at a later stage?

Yes! Unlike previous years, afterparty tickets can be bought separately.

I can't make it. Can I sell my ADNIGHT tickets?

Yes you can. Both your ADNIGHT Festival and afterparty tickets can be sold through Ticketswap. Not that your app code will no longer be valid once your tickets are sold.

Does my ticket give me immediate access to the agencies?

Yes, but only if you download our app. An email will be sent to you in the run up to the event including a download link and a unique code for every ticket you have bought. With that code you can access our app. The app then provides you with a unique QR code that you can use for access.

Where do I download the app?

A download link including access code will be emailed to you no later than two weeks before the event if you have purchased one or more tickets.

Can I get access codes for other people?

Yes! If you buy multiple tickets you will receive the same amount of unique access codes. These codes can be shared with whomever you have bought tickets for. Note that these codes can only be used once.

Why are you no longer giving out wristbands?

With our app you no longer need to pick up wristbands which saves you a lot of time and hassle. And we think using an app is a lot more friendly for the environment too!

How do I find the participating agencies?

Explore which agencies participate and get a glimpse of their program under the ‘Agencies’ tab on this site. You can also use the map function in our app.

How do I get access to agencies?

For access to all participating agencies and the pre- and afterparty you will need to download our app. For every ticket you buy we will email a unique code. You can access the app using this code. Once you enter your unique code in the app you will find your personal QR code for access.

The app will be released in the last two weeks of september.

How do I get access to the afterparty

Unlike the rest of the festival that is accessible through the app, you will need to use your eventix tickets to access the afterparty. Your ticket will be scanned at the door.

How do I make the most of my time?

Putting together your program can be quite a puzzle. Keep in mind that there are several areas where agencies are close together, like De Schinkel, Houthavens, De Grachten and Oost. This allows you to visit more agencies in a short time and spend less time traveling. We found that visitors on average spend around 1 hour at every agency they visit, which gives you at least 5 agencies to check out! Keep in mind that parking a car can be time consuming. Most areas are easily accessible by public transport or just grab a bike.

For people coming from abroad:

Make sure you rent a bike to get around Amsterdam. This makes it a lot easier to visit multiple agencies in little time. You can get from one edge of the city to the other in about 30 minutes each way. If you come from outside the city by train, you can rent a bike called OV-fiets at the station (they’re only a couple of euro's per 24 hours).

Of course the city also has taxi’s and Ubers.
