How to order concert tickets
Tickets may be purchased through
www.ticketservice.nl (this site is available
in English as well), and through the website
of the Theatre on the Vrijthof
(www.theateraanhetvrijthof.nl or
www.uitbaliemaastricht.nl) or by phone at
+31-43-3505555 between 1PM - 6PM. (Be
aware of the time difference Notice our
world time clocks at the left!). Since the
website of the theatre is in Dutch only, I
have created a guide on how to order
tickets using their site.

You may also order DINNER TICKETS via the same website:
www.uitbaliemaastricht.nl. Scroll down the list until you hit the "juli" (July)
section. Look for the desired date and find: "Terras arrangement", followed by
the name of a restaurant. Suggestion: Take the "Terras arrangement" of the
"Theater aan het Vrijthof". You will be seated next to the entrance of the
theatre, where André and the JSO will appear about 45 minutes before the
concert starts. If that is not possible, take any other arrangement. All
restaurants are situated along the sides of the Vrijthof Square.
Rules: People need to leave the Vrijthof Square by 5.30 PM; gates close. The
entire square needs to be vacated in preparation for the concerts.
Entrance for the terrace/dinner arrangements commences at 6.30 PM. Show
your dinner ticket. The staff of the restaurant will guide you to your seat. You
might share your table with other guests. Dinner will be served at 7 PM . No
services are allowed during the concert, so order more drinks before the
concert starts or during the intermission. The concerts start promptly at 9.30
PM. Stay seated during the concert, no walking around. In case of rain: big
parasols cover the tables and seats. No umbrellas are allowed, so bring
ponchos instead.
You may not be able to see the stage from the terraces, but you can follow the
concert on the big screens, and you are in the middle of the atmosphere of the
Vrijthof Square. End of the concert: around midnight or shortly there after.

Ticket/Accommodation combination
André Rieu productions assigned a number of travel agencies to offer ticket-
AND accommodation packages.
Since accommodations in and around Maastricht are very quickly fully
booked, many of the hotels participating are located across the border, in
Belgium or Germany. Many of these locations are at a distance of 30-60
minutes by car, from Maastricht.
These packages are good options for people with a (rental) car.
The websites are in Dutch only, best is to call them.
Both tour operators accept foreign bookings, and can be payed for with credit
cards.
