Don’t waste your money on counterfeit or black market tickets! There is only a limited number of ticket sellers with which we cooperate to sell our tickets. If you decide to purchase a ticket from a seller that has not been officially approved by Paard, you may risk your access being denied to the event, despite having bought a ticket!

The following ticket sellers have been officially approved by Paard:

• King Cool Hostel, Prinsegracht 51, The Hague; open daily from 8:00 AM- 10:00 PM
• VVV Uitburo The Hague, Spui 68, The Hague; open on Mondays from 12:00 PM – 8 PM, Tuesdays through Fridays from 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Saturdays from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM and on Sundays and holidays from 10:00 – 5:00 PM.
• Velvet Delft

If you purchase a ticket for an event at Paard, a €3  service fee is included in the price. For tickets less than €10,- no additional service fee is charged.
The reason that we need to charge service fee, is to cover costs for bank transactions, digital payment systems and the upkeeping of the online ticketsales system.

 

 

Early Bird

After an event’s presale has started, a limited number of Early Bird tickets may be sold for €5,- cheaper than the original price. They will only be offered for a week, or until they are out of stock. These tickets will not be sold for every event, so be sure to check carefully; once they have sold out, regular prices will apply.

If you would like to know more about Early Bird tickets, we have a separate question in our FAQ dedicated to them.

 

CJP-Pass Discount

Do you own a CJP-pass? Then you could receive  €2,50 discount on tickets. All you need to do is to choose ‘yes’ for this option in your account menu and then you can fill in your pass information. This discount is only available during the regular sale.

 

Student Pass

Are you currently a college/university student and do you own a student pass? Then you could also receive  €2,50 discount on tickets, but only if you purchase them through our box office. Student pass discount is not an option you can select when purchasing tickets through our website. When going to our box office, you should bring a valid ID with your student pass as well, so that you can prove you really are a student.

 

No-Risk-Ticket

If a show is no-risk, it should be mentioned clearly in its event page’s discription. The bottom line of this concept is that if you don’t like the event you are attending, you can ask for a reuimbursement. If you attend an event and within the first 15 minutes you decide that you dislike it, you can return to our box office and request you get your money back.

No-risk events are performed by artists that Paard thinks are worth seeing live. We guarantee you that they are amazing, but this system guarantees that you can purchase a ticket care-free!

 

We Are Public

Do you own a We Are Public (WAP) pass? Then you probably already know how you can benefit from it; you can visit https://www.wearepublic.nl/en/ if you want more information. If an event has a WAP-label mentioned on its page, then pass holders are eligible to receiving their privileges.

How do I purchase tickets online?

First, go to the page of the event of your choice, where you can click on a green button with the word ‘tickets’ on it. At this point, you must register or log in with your personal Paard-account; this will only take a minute, but you may want to create an account in advance if you think the event will sell out quickly. As soon as you’ve clicked the green button and Paard approves access to your user account, you can continue your online purchase. Then you can continue by choosing your preferred method of payment. All payments can be fulfilled by using iDeal, MasterCard or Visa. Note: from abroad you can only pay with Credit Card. iDeal only works in The Netherlands.

If the purchase has been successful, you can expect a confirmation email from Paard to pop up in your inbox within seconds. This confirmation email contains your e-ticket, which you can print at home and take with you to the event. You can also leave the e-ticket on your smartphone, so our security guards will be able to scan it from there. Be sure to carefully archive this email; it will grant you access to the event.

What if you have not received a confirmation email?

Your confirmation email may end up in your spam box; regardless of what email provider you are using, please check this first, as this is quite common and completely harmless. You will still be able to open your confirmation email from there. It could also be helpful to go to your account and to change your email address. If you are not checking your current email address quite often, or you are experiencing problems with it, this may be helpful. If you have done so, you can return to your account, look into your ordering history and request another confirmation email to be sent to your newly submitted email address.

You can’t find the email in neither your regular inbox, nor your spam? Then please contact [email protected] or call us at: 070 750 34 34. Our receptionists will be glad to be of further assistance. You can contact us exclusively on Monday – Friday, 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM. If you wish to pick up your tickets outside of our office hours, you could try retrieving them at our box office, on the condition that you bring a valid ID with you and that the tickets have been purchased on your name.

Please take notice that this given information only counts for tickets that have been purchased through our official website! If you have bought tickets through another seller, we may not be able to help you. Please do also take notice that you must bring a valid ID to any event you are attending, or else our security will reserve the right to refuse your entrance. The maximum amount of tickets you can purchase per event, per account, is 4; this is to prevent black-market resales.

Paard uses a nationally preset ‘early bird’-discount: if you decide to purchase your concert ticket a long time before the event will take place, you can save €5,-.

For the majority of our concerts and dance parties, a limited number of Early Bird tickets will be sold during the first week after the announcement has been placed on our official website. If they are available for a certain show, purchasing an Early Bird ticket will take €5,- off of any original price.

Why does Paard sell Early Bird tickets?

We simply want to reward live music aficionados who prefer purchasing their tickets a long time before the actual event takes place; offering Early Bird tickets is also a way for us to give concertgoers with a lower budget a chance to save some extra money on tickets.

How do I know whether there are Early Bird tickets available for a certain event?

If you go to your event of choice’s page on our official web page, it will be clearly stated whether Early Bird tickets are (still) available. If you subscribe to our newsletter, you will be the first to be notified about presales, Early Bird discounts and other exclusive offers.

How can I purchase Early Bird tickets?

Purchasing an Early Bird ticket is no different from purchasing a regular ticket, only you will have to be there on time! There will be a limited number of these cheaper tickets available during the first week after the event’s official announcement. To be able to take advantage of this discount, you will only need to be, well… an early bird. You can purchase Early Bird tickets through either our official website or through our box office, whereas Ticketservice andTicketmaster do not offer any Early Bird discounts.

Please take notice that Early Bird tickets for popular events may sell out rather quickly.

What are the specific terms and conditions that apply to purchasing Early Bird tickets?

• Early Bird tickets may be available for most, but certainly not all concerts and dance parties.
• Early Bird presale will take place during the first week after the event has been officially announced, unless the Early Bird tickets have sold out. There is only a limited number of Early Bird tickets available and when they have sold out, general prices will automaticaly apply.
• For both Early Bird tickets and general tickets, the same general terms and conditions apply.
• Early Bird discount is not valid in combination with other discounts.
• Service fees have been excluded from the prices as mentioned on our official website.

After purchasing at the website, an e-ticket will be sent to your email address. If you can not find this ticket in the mail, you can find it again via your own account on the Paard website.

Follow the following steps:
– Click to log in on Paard.nl/account/.
– After logging in you will see “account” at the top and you will see the screen where you can view and change your personal data.
– Click on “go to order history”. All purchased cards are listed here. Behind the cards of the program that still has to take place is “send confirmation email”. By clicking on this you can resend the cards yourself.

If you do not receive the tickets (and do not receive them in the junk mail box), it may be useful to enter a different e-mail address at ‘account’ if there is one.

If it still doesn’t work, you can contact Paard (070-7503434), then we can possibly resend the tickets. Please note, our office can only be reached on weekdays between 12 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Should it prove at the last minute that it is not working and is the office closed? Then take your proof of identity with you when you visit Paard and register at the box office. The cashier can find your tickets in the system. The condition is that the tickets are in your name.

Please note: the above only applies to e-tickets purchased at www.paard.nl!

There are some rules regarding the legal age for event attendance at Paard.

Concerts
Concert attendees must at least be 16 years of age on the date of attendance; however, attendees younger than 16 are welcome when accompanied by an adult (18+).

After Hours & Clubevents
To be allowed to attend an event that is held after 11:00 PM, one must be at least 18 years of age, unless the event’s page on our official website states otherwise.

PAARD supports the I Love My Ears campaign, click here to find out more.

Paard offers different types of hearing protection, available at the foyer bar:

Alpine Plug it – €4,50
The black Alpine Plug-it is a reusable black earplug made of silicone-free AlpineThermoShape material. It forms with body heat around the ear canal and can therefore be worn comfortably. The Plug it earplugs have a filter that lowers the sound level while you can continue to follow the music and conversations. These earplugs can be used about 100 times.

Alpine Party Plug – €14,50
These transparent Alpine PartyPlug earplugs come in a PAARD protective case. These earplugs have a special filter that is made to reduce the volume of the music to a safe level, without deteriorating the quality of the sound. This keeps the music sounding as it should and communication with friends is possible. PartyPlug earbuds can be worn comfortably all day (or night). They are made of a hypoallergenic and silicone-free material, so you will not suffer from allergic reactions or itching. You can use the PartyPlug earplugs more than 100 times.

18+ alcohol legislation
PAARD is required to enforce national alcohol legislation. This means that alcohol and carrying of alcohol is prohibited for visitors under the age of 18.

We apply the following rules to an alcohol risk program:
– To be allowed to order alcohol at the bar, wristbands are used: no alcohol without a wristband. At the entrance everyone’s proof of identity is checked to determine whether or not you receive a wristband.
– If we have doubts about your age and you do not have proof of identity with you: No wristband.
– Even once you are inside, you can be asked for your proof of identification in case of doubt.
– Alcohol is only served at the foyer bar, the bar in the room is alcohol-free.

When deviating from these rules you must take the following into account:
– You will be denied access to PAARD in the event of misuse of identification. The proof of identity is taken and can only be collected by the rightful owner.
– In case of improper use of a wristband (for example, putting on a found wristband) immediate expulsion follows.
– If a wristband is found to be passed on to a minor there is immediate expulsion for both: for the minor who received the wristband and for the person who gave it to them.
– Upon to be found passing on alcohol to a minor immediate expulsion follows for both: for the minor who accepts the drink and for the person who handed over the drink.
– In the event of removal or refusal of access for the above or related reasons no entrance fee will be returned.

The above measures sound strict and unfortunately they are. National legislation is inexorable and we, as PAARD, must adhere to it.

Nearly all events at Paard are standing-only.

However, a few shows are sit-down events (seated), or you can choose whether you are more comfortable standing or sitting down (semi-seated). Events can be organized this way due to the performer(s)’(s) request, or due to the nature of an event.

Semi-seated events offer a limited number of seats, besides room to stand; seated events offer seats to all attendees and they are usually first come, first served when it comes to placement choice.

If a show is (semi-)seated, this will be mentioned on the event’s page on our official website.

There are both a cloakroom and a limited number of lockers available for event attendees. Cloakroom usage costs €1,50 per checked item and locker usage has the price of €2 for concerts and €2,50 for club nights. Lavatory usage is free, but leaving a small tip would be very much appreciated. Paardcafe also offers lockers for €2,50

If you choose to use our wardrobe and/or lockers, you automatically consent to Article 8, as stated in our Terms & conditions.

The Paard building is accessible for people with disabilities. Some disabilities, conditions, or chronic illnesses may not be immediately visible to others. That’s why we work with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower – to promote inclusivity, acceptance, and understanding.

Wheelchairs

The entrance, foyer, cloakroom, toilet facilities, and both halls (via elevator) are accessible and wheelchair-friendly. Unfortunately, due to the historic nature of the building, Paardcafé is difficult to access by wheelchair. Additionally, the main hall at PAARD generally has standing room only. If a show does offer seating, this will be mentioned on the event page.

Visitors with physical disabilities

Would you like to attend a concert but find it difficult to stand for long periods? Please contact us. We have a limited number of places available for visitors with mobility issues. Please note, it’s important to contact us as soon as possible (at least one week before the event). There are a limited number of accessible seats available.
