has anyone here been to this before?? there are a few of us going this year and we were wondering if people had any experiences of it? heard it was great

Where did you get your tickets from? Few of my friends are thinking about going this year.

irishguy

dont have tickets yet, one of the lads in college is dutch so i am hoping to get him to translate some of the sites 4 us. ill be buying them next week [all going well] this is where the offical site says to go http://www.ticketbox.nl/dance/2004_08_07_dancevalley.shtml
but the whole thing is in dutch so you will have to get google to translate for you if you dont know someone who can translate

Are you sure? Normally you have to collect from the box office on site in situations like this (buying tickets for a foreign event)

Any suggestions for cheap accomodation? How far is DV from the City centre?
Any suggestions on how to spend a week over there?

its between schiphol airport [where ryanair fly in] and amsterdam [from what i hear]

as for accomodation there are loads of places to stay, i recommend somewhere in the red light district thats where all the night life is. get somewhere before you go or else you will be all day looking for a place.

Went Last year, I dunno... To me at least It seems as If its now a vitim of its own sucess, in that its too large and too expensive.There were some good acts alright but a lot of **** there too, but it too damn uncomfortable.There was only one place to get free water, It was a very hot day, and all the food/ beer was at concert prices.

Transport is all aranged from amsterdam, simply hop on a train or bus in central station to a station (cant remember the name but youll find it easy) and theyll have bus's waiting to take ya the rest of the way.

Adam Rocks!, In fact Id almost reccomend you dont bother with dance valley and just catch the afters.Heard Ronnie size played a feckin blinder in the melkweg last year.There's a some good hostels in the damn, and also a pretty cool campsite.Id reccomend the stayokay hostel in the stadhoudilijke, It was cheap, really clean, and had a sweet little bar out the back.As for advice in the dam, well if your ahem er dealing with dodgy characters remember that a deal too good to be true likely is, .Also the inner city is pure tourism and thus total rip off, taking a small walk away from the center will save you alot.China town has some nice cheap grub and aint too easy to find.Also adam has some of the best bars outside of Ireland.Enjoy

will ship your tickets to Ireland just got mine now.

Ajnag, what clubs would you recomend in amsterdam?? didnt go to any the last time

Anyone know who is playing in Dance valley this year?? i would love if Tiesto played he is wicked

Ajnag

Cant really reccomend any clubs, as Ive been to only one, The paridiso, I think.... .However It was pretty decent.Youll pick up flyers no hassle over there, and from there just go for the music yer after.Tho, If ya get the chance, try find a squat party, Well... if yer in the that kinda thing , They used to be the best places for punk bands and Hard Techno as well as high quality er um headache tablets.....

Sad to say I only know the squats in utrecht only and dont know any in the damn.

spanner
