cmaddict21 · Mar 7, 2003

ill be in amsterdam from march 8th till march 11th. Does anyone know if any games are going on around this time? I already know that the ajax-valence game is sold out, but does telstar or haarlem have a home game?

thanks

take the train to Rotterdam and see Excelsior v Feyenoord.

That's tomorrow. Tickets available last I checked.

tickets?

is there a way to buy tickets before hand? I dont want to take a train to rotterdam and then find out that the game is sold out. Thanks for the info!

PS I assume the game is at Excelsior's stadium. am i wrong?

Well I was hoping on being in A'dam this week as well. My trip got cancelled, so I'm stuck in CT.

I contacted them back in February for tickets, and it was no problem. Now, its Match day, and I'm not sure if you need a club card to get in.

Check out their site and see what is possible. I don't think they normally sell out, but this is a derby match.

Tell them you are from a visiting club in the US and that might help.

good question...ill be in amsterdam too in a few weeks, from the 21-25, then back again the 29...any matches?

Haarlem has a game on the 10th at 8:00 p.m. I've had no trouble walking up and getting tickets before.

One of the coldest times I've spent watching a game was a Haarlem/MVV game last season.

If anyone gets to an excelsior match, I want an Excelsior Kappa t-shirt and scarf. I'll pay you when you get back to the US.

PM me if we have a deal.

Thanks,
