DMZ Amsterdam - 5 Days Off

[NilsFG]

Anyone from Belgium going? How?
Thalys is expensive...

Damn wish one of my friends had a car, hopefully one of them will have one then.

[Mexter]

We're probably going for weekend amsterdam, saturdaynight with joy orbison etc looks nice too..
And if we go will be with car, we're living in ostend.. car is gonna be much cheaper then public transport, trains are dirty expensive in holland ..

[poepsnor]

Parking in amsterdam is pretty expensive and it eventually takes longer than with the train

40-45euro back and forth (think from ... - antwerpen included) It's always from antwerp to amsterdam centraal, every hour

edit: normal train he not the thalys, with thalys you're there 15min faster and 50eur poorer

Didn't know there was a direct one to Amsterdam. At least, the routeplanner on the b-rail site didn't show one.. Only thalys.
Travel time by train from Brussels is 2:45 though, which is actually longer than going by car.

And 40-45 is a decent price. If you're going by car with 3 people, you would pay 40-45 per person for gas prices too.

EDIT: Do you know where I can check the prices? B-Rail only shows prices for national traffic.
EDIT2: Nevermind found it, apparantly you need to go to the NMBS Europe site.

NMBS wishes you a happy new year 2008 and apologize for being late

Think I'm going with a few mates by train, something like Liège>Maastricht>Dam

No way Antwerp/Amsterdam is 40/45. I've traveled for about that price from Enschede to Antwerp and back, and Enschede's on the other side of the country.

Though I do know that international travel by train has increased with like 7 euros last year in Belgium.

[hassanova]

tickets all booked up, apparently you have to buy a one month membership for 3.50 euros when you get the ticket on ticketmaster so i wouldnt skip it

[Genevieve]

You can get the membership at the door. That's not gonna sell-out. It basically just handles service costs of the venue and shit. Or it's supposed to, at least.

[dopocc]

anyone else that ordered around Dec 20 and still hasn't received tickets?

[arktrix45hz]

We're probably going for weekend amsterdam, saturdaynight with joy orbison etc looks nice too..
And if we go will be with car, we're living in ostend.. car is gonna be much cheaper then public transport, trains are dirty expensive in holland ..

Off topic, but what is Ostend like for parties?

it blows haha.. we're always going to east-flanders, antwerp, brussels, hasselt for parties, cause thats were things are happening..
since recently we have one party at the krush club, organised by one87, first time we had youngsta and S.P.Y. over and the second time was only dnb with Nymfo, was pretty nice i thought, but almost no crowd on the party, which sucks actually..

me and friend want to start organising a real good dubstep party here at the coast, i think with some better promo we can get ppl to come from all over the coast and west-flanders, no? i think promo has always been the problem over here..

why'd u wanna know, living in ostend, thinking of coming to ostend?

[apmje]

Going to this! Making a 5-6 day super long weekend trip with a few friends and hitting up DMZ and Joy Orbison nights!!

[NilsFG]

Does every person need a membership or what?

[Genevieve]

Does every person need a membership or what?

Yes. It's comparable to the service costs of most venues.

But in Amsterdam's case, it's really just a way to leech more money out of you.

Lol I can see. 3.50 is quite a lot for service costs.

This is gonna be an expensive trip. 50 for trains, 19.50 for the tickets, 50-60 for hotels. And then a lot more for alcohol and the shops.
Think me and the mates will need to couchsurf.
