Rendezvous in Amsterdam 2005 - FAQ

<< BACK TO RENDEZVOUS IN AMSTERDAM 2005

Does Ajax USA help with travel and hotel arrangements?

Not really. You are responsible for getting yourself to and from Amsterdam, and with making your own hotel arrangements. But we do recommend a couple of hotels, if that is helpful.

Are kids welcome on the Ajax USA trip?

Yes! The Ajax USA Rendezvous experience is definitely kid-friendly! I brought my seven-year-old son last year, and he had a blast! I'm bringing my six-year-old son this time. Amsterdam is a very kid-friendly city, with lots of great things to do in between all the Ajax-fun.

Where do you get the match tickets?

We buy our tickets from TicketUnlimited, a legitimate ticket re-seller. Buying as a group, well in advance, gets us a better deal. But you can get your ticket directly from Ajax, from TicketUnlimited, or by other means and still join us. (See next question.) 

If I do not buy a match ticket through Ajax USA, can I still join you for the other activities?

Absolutely! We offer the ticket purchases as a service, but any Ajax fans are welcome to the other events (History Tour, Arena Day, etc.) whether or not you get your Ajax match tickets elsewhere or not at all. There's no charge or need to 'reserve' a space for the non-match events. Just drop us an email letting us know that you don't need a match ticket but do want to join us for other activities.

How much are the tickets?

The match tickets are expected to be approximately €60 each. We won't know the exact amount until we are ready to place our group order at the end of February.

After submitting the down-payment, how and when will I pay the balance on my match ticket?

You will be asked to pay the balance due for your match ticket(s) in CASH EUROS upon arrival in the Netherlands. The good news about that is: We won't be holding a large chunk of your change for the weeks prior to the trip.

What is different about sending the down-payment in US dollars versus in Euros?

You are welcome to send your down-payment either in dollars, to Jim, or in Euros, to Menno. Anyone sending a down-payment in $US to Jim will also have to cover the cost of converting those dollars to Euros. You'll be asked for an additional euro or two when you pay your balance in cash Euros later. Again, this is to cover fees. Ajax USA keeps none of your money.

Where are the seats?

Last year, we had pretty good seats in the lower ring behind the goal opposite the "F-Side". We will probably get similar seats this year, but there's no guarantee about that.

Will we be sitting all together as a group?

We will not be sitting all together! TicketUnlimited does their best to give us tickets in the same section, but we'll probably be spread out in groups of 4, 3, 2 or even the occasional single seat.

Can I still get a ticket if I don't get my down-payment to you by the end of February?

Yes. We expect to place an additional ticket order in early March. It's likely that the second ticket order will cost slightly more per ticket, and the seats might not be as good. But we're pretty much guessing about that at this point.

What else do  need to know?

Do you have a passport? If not, you'd better take care of that immediately, as it takes a few weeks to get. And please note that photo identification is required at the ArenA gates for every Ajax game. You must carry your passport or driver's license with you to every game. We recommend you bring both documents to Amsterdam.
