Tickets for Maastricht CONCERTS, July 2012.
How to order concert tickets
Tickets for the André Rieu Vrijthof concerts can now be ordered on the official André Rieu website (click here then scroll down to June), the website of the Maastricht tourist information (click here, select your desired language at the top-right of the screen) or travel agencies offering bus, accommodation and ticket packages. Do NOT purchase tickets from any other ticket vendor, typically you pay far too much and those tickets are not guaranteed!
How to order terrace dinner tickets with Vrijthof restaurants

Rules for the terrace dinner arrangements.
During the concert days, all people on the Vrijthof square are requested to leave the square by no later than 5.30 PM (17.30 h). Then all entrances to the square will be fenced off. For those who have purchased dinner arrangements with one of the Vrijthof restaurants, it goes without saying to be sure to have your dinner tickets with you.
People with dinner tickets are welcome to enter the square again, starting at 6.30 PM (18.30h). The dinner will start at 7 PM (19.00h).
Find the restaurant of your choice (ticket) and wait to be seated by the staff. You will share tables with other guests. Except for some dancing outside the terrace on the streets, you are not allowed to leave your seat to enter the main concert area. In most instances, there is no direct view to the stage; you can follow the concert from your seat on the big screens located around the square. The concert starts at 9 PM (21.00 h) sharp.
Due to the disturbing noise, the servicing of drinks or food is not allowed during the concerts. So, please order your drinks prior to the start of the concert or wait until the intermission in order to do so. Do not talk loudly to your friends during the concert.
In case of rain, light or considered normal, you will be protected by big umbrellas/parasols, placed throughout the terraces. Since summer weather is rather unpredictable in the Netherlands, be prepared and dress accordingly. If at all possible check the weather forecast prior to the concert and you may wish to bring a light jacket, sweater or a poncho. Individual umbrellas are not permitted.
In case of moderate to severe weather (thunder storms, etc.), the concert will be moved to the MECC, a big conference center in Maastricht. André will make the decision to move the concert to the MECC that same day, no later than 12 PM (noon).
Check www.andrerieu.info, or L1 TV or radio. People with terrace tickets can then attend the concert in the MECC, using their terrace tickets. In that case dinner will not be served on the terraces and a voucher from the restaurant manager will be issued for subsequent use.
