Ticket sales

The Tropentheater endeavours to make it as simple as possible for visitors to get their tickets, and to limit waiting times at the box office. Here follows complete information on ways to order and discount prices.

  • Seating

    Seating is placed. The earlier you order the better your place will be. You can select your own seat(s) on our website.

  • Online

    You can order tickets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week using our website. You simply click on the yellow Order button next to the performance of your choice. You pay using your credit card (Eurocard/Mastercard or Visa) and the tickets will be delivered to the given address within a few days (for this reason, online ordering is unavailable from one week before the performance concerned).

    A charge of € 2.50 per order is made for administration and postal costs, regardless of the number of tickets ordered. See also our rules for online ticket sales.

  • Direct debit

    Download the order form (in Dutch) or use the form at the back of our season brochure. A charge of € 2.50 per order is made for administration and postal costs, regardless of the number of tickets ordered. Send the completed form in an unstamped envelope to

  • Unable to attend?

    If for any reason you are unable to attend the performance, we would be very grateful if you informed the box office in good time – by doing so you will give others the opportunity to enjoy the performance. To inform us please call our reservations line at +31 20 5688 500. This line is open from Monday to Friday from 12.00 to 18.00 and Saturday from 14.00 to 18.00. You can also send an email to theaterkassa@kit.nl.

  • Discounts

    You are entitled to discounts on display of your valid KIT card, CJP/Youth card, StadsPas, CKV card or student card. The same discount is available to senior citizens on display of a valid ID.

    When ordering online, standard ticket prices always apply. If you use the order form (in Dutch) and wish to pay the reduced price, please enclose a copy of a valid discount card or ID (see above).

    Special reduced ticket prices apply for youth performances. The age limit for entitlement to these reduced prices varies according to the performance.

    When visiting with a group of ten or more, you are eligible for the reduced ticket price (group discount). For further information, please call the box office at +31 20 5688 500.

  • CKV

    CKV students pay just half of the regular entrance price on display of a valid CKV card. CKV teachers receive a discount on display of a valid CKV teacher’s card. The cultural credit on the CKV card can also be spent in the Tropentheater.

  • Students and young people

    Children aged thirteen and younger pay half the normal entrance fee for regular performances (youth performances not included). Young people aged fourteen to eighteen enjoy the same discount as CJP cardholders.

    From 45 minutes before the performance starts, students can purchase any remaining tickets for € 10.00 on display of a valid student card.

  • Extra student discount

    Attention students! From 45 minutes before the performance starts, students can purchase any remaining tickets for € 10.00 on display of a valid student card, irrespective of the original ticket price.

    Queue numbers are issued if a performance is sold out. Students are eligible for this attractive student discount only after all queue-number holders have received their tickets.

  • Sold out

    If a performance is sold out, the box office will issue queue numbers from an hour before the performance starts. A queue number may entitle you to take the place of anyone unexpectedly unable to attend the performance.

  • Last Minute Ticket Shop

    The Last Minute Ticket Shop (located in the Amsterdams Uit Buro on the Leidseplein in central Amsterdam) gives a 50% discount on tickets for some performances – on the day of the performance itself. The Last Minute Ticket Shop is open daily from 12.00 to 19.30. Closed on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Queen's Day (30 April) and Whit Sunday. Open on other national holidays from 12.00 to 17.00.
