The ticket sales start on 31 October at 16.00 / 4 pm CET. Please double check the time with your favorite time-zone checker. Here is an example.

Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster. Here is a direct link to Ayreon 2025 at Ticketmaster.nl.
To ensure that everyone has a fair chance to attend the show, an 8-ticket limit is in place for each show. Here's how it works:
  •  You can purchase a maximum of 8 tickets per show, per transaction.
  • It’s not possible to buy tickets for multiple shows in a single transaction.
  • Additionally, each Ticketmaster account (tied to an email address) can only purchase up to 8 tickets per show, regardless of the number of transactions.
For example, if you are buying for a group and need 24 tickets for a single show, you will need to use three separate Ticketmaster accounts, each tied to a unique email address.
Unfortunately it is not possible for us to reserve or hold tickets for you due to limitations in the ticketing system. Thanks for understanding! Your best bet is to BE QUICK once the ticket sales go live on 31 October at 16:00 / 4 p.m. CET. Please double check the time with your favorite time-zone checker. Here is an example.
There are a limited number of spaces reserved for wheelchairs and people who need a seat for the shows. We've actually reserved more space for this compared to the previous shows.

You will need to buy a regular ticket and then request special seating via 013 directly.

Please see the info about ticketing/seating for people with disabilities and/or wheelchairs on the 013 website here for English and here for Dutch

When you buy your VIP or Ultimate VIP ticket, you'll be able to request a shirt size for the shirt that will be included in your goodie bag. The following sizes will be available.

Mens: S - 5XL

Girlie: S - 2XL

VIP and Ultimate VIP shirts will each have their own unique designs, in other words, they will be different from the generally available merch.

Yes, children of all ages are welcome, but they’ll need a valid ticket (no special discounts). There’s no age restriction, but kids 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

While we’re not planning any violent or graphic content, the music will be loud—so make sure your little ones have proper ear protection. Earplugs are usually available at 013, but we recommend bringing your own just in case.

There isn’t a designated children’s section, but the venue has coliseum-style stairs and a balcony, making it easier to find a good vantage point. Just keep in mind that putting kids on your shoulders isn’t allowed, as it blocks the view for others.
013 is conveniently located in the center of Tilburg. The "Tivoli" parking garage is right next door. It does tend to fill up, so you want to make sure you're there in plenty of time.

013 is about 1 km walking distance from Tilburg Central Station. For information about train schedules, please see www.ns.nl.

013 has a lot more information about getting to and from the venue as well as parking here.

We also have collected some helpful links with transportaion and lodging options here.

So if you're looking for accommodation, this is a great way to spend the weekend in Tilburg, enjoying happy festival vibes together with other Ayreon fans!
The plan is to keep the set list the same for all 5 shows, but we reserve the right to make changes if necessary. And who knows? It's a live event with very little rehearsal, so pretty much anything can happen!
Yes, brace yourselves—Arjen will indeed be singing a few songs. We tried everything to prevent this, but the man simply refuses to take a hint. Consider yourselves warned!
Absolutely! There will be plenty of Ayreon goodies available at the show.

We’re bringing back the Ayreon pop-up store in the venue!

This time, we’ve completely revamped the setup to make things run much smoother. You'll be able to browse merch, pick up pre-ordered items with ease, and enjoy a hassle-free experience.

Plus, there could be some surprise performances from the artists—definitely worth checking out!
Somewhere between 2 and 2.5 hrs .. that's the plan.
