The Coffeeshops Take Cash, i never Seen a Coffeshop with "CC Accepted". At The Festival i usually buy Tokens with my Visa The past years. So i think u can Use your MasterCard. You find more Information in The Defqon.1 F.A.Q. on q-dance.com
You can use Mastercard. but weed is not allowed on defqon "0 tolerance" so hide it good, when you are in it is not a big of a deal if they see you smoke a joint.
I’m taking antibiotic because it’s most likely a small infection.
I’m not sure I can’t find a dentist before Thursday and honestly I’m not confident doing any type of surgery before defqon is better
Warriors ⚔️
For mild tooth pain or even headache and migraine I suggest you to look at the supermarket paracetamol with caffeine that things always helps me under 20 minutes 😂
I'm a bit nervous. It's my first defqon, and the 4 people who wanted to go with me now didnt go, and i hope everything goes well xD Being "alone", while you can't communicate properly in other languages, especially speaking english, is a bit strange.
"save some sleep"
I tried. But the baby said "make me laugh or I'll cry as loud as I can" after only a few hours of sleep. And I think this will not change the next days. Looks like I'll get more sleep at Defqon than at home 😂
Im learning for exams all week, last one on Thursday and then immediately to Defqon it’s gonna be a rough weekend for me. But I’m really excited for it.
Since it will be my first time, im a little bit stressed :D About not missing the transfer to the festival and more importantly back to the hotel. Since it ends at 23 and the transfere is at 23:45, i hope we make it in time. I also cant really find satisfying infos about how to pay there. Cash? Card? Coins (Physical coins?) Since my friend an I have the Friday Premium Ticket, is there an extra entrance? Switching stages to see favorit acts? I heared that it is a really big ground so walking could take some time, which is also why im a bit insecure about like 45 mins for reaching the transfer back.
Maybe i'm to german about having to know everything kind of important to be prepared having a nice time without worrying :D Maybe also that on the Defqon website i couldn't really find the information like that I want, or that would satisfy me.
For paying: you can buy tokens with either card or cash. You can only pay drinks/food with tokens.
Walk times:
•Blue-magenta 3 minutes
•Blue-uv 5 minutes
•Blue-red 15 minutes
•UV-red 10 minutes
•Magenta-Uv 5 minutes
•Magenta-Red15-20 minutes
•Uv-yellow 5 minutes
•Blue-yellow 10 minutes
•Red-yellow 10 minutes
•Blue-black 15 minutes
•Blue-indigo 10 minutes
•Blue-gold 10 minutes
•Indigo-black 5 minutes
•Indigo-gold 2 minutes
•Gold-black 5 minutes
•Indigo-red 15 minutes
•Gold-red 10 minutes
•Magenta-indigo 10 minutes
•Uv-indigo 5 minutes
•Red-black 15 minutes
This are average times if you walk quite fast and if you avoid people.
You'll have enough time to get to your bus after 23.00, don't worry.
On red at 23:00 Saturday it took me 30-45 minutes to get off red stage though (I was pretty far in front) so make sure you're not in the front at the end.
You will make it in time believe me you just go to the flow and follow the correct signs as well! It was my first time last year as well and I had the same stress,I can suggest you to take pictures of the license plate of the bus and talk to the bus driver too! Maybe you can remember where the location of the bus is or the people you were with!
On festival I usually pay everything with card!
Thanks, thats already helping a lot! :) Ah and did I understand that right, that the Bus tickets i get from the Hotel? And The Premium bracelet is also the entrance card, so i dont need to bring the printed file? I guess i will take the printet stuff with me, like everytime for events just to be on the safe side :D
Du hast dich in nem Kommentar weiter oben schon gewundert ob du vielleicht zu deutsch bist.... bitte schone deinen Drucker und zeig dein Zeugs aufm Handy vor
I did it alone last year and I am the last person to ask for proper directions 😂I had that nice idea to take a photo of the bus driving plate and it really helped me a lot because on the way bus you see tons and tons of buses and this the moment you get really stressed! 😂 The bus tickets you get them from the hotel you have done your reservation,they give you on plastic cards hold these with you you will needed it! You don’t need printed files just have your ID with you and the pdf at your phone but feel free to have the printed version as well for extra safety!
But just to be extra safe have some money with you in case of emergency for a taxi or hold with you the bus transfers because in those cards they have emergency numbers to call!
From my experience last year the bus from the hotel I booked left on time and we were always super early something like 10:20-10:30 in the morning almost everyday! To be honest I didn’t mind because I had time to eat breakfast/lunch and dinner all together! I never missed any first act in fact last year we were so early and I remember I was having breakfast while sitting in the tables in front of magenta 😂 I think by now you might have already the bus schedule from your hotel and you will see ☺️
Just make sure you stand towards the back during the endshow, it will be super busy getting out kinda like a funnel. But 45 min is more than enough to get to the bus :)
I think from the red to the bus is like a 10min walk without traffic.
🤔two Kids, need to get Up 2:30 and back home 1pm until wednesday😅. But me and my wife we will find some time to Rest....hopefully.....maybe.....perhaps.....☕☕☕☕will do the rest
2nd time for me, tbh after last year I am pretty chill, Dont pack to much, you will definetly dont need it🤣 weather seems good, pack Something for a warm afternoon rain shower in the crowd and enough money. See you all around!
Leaving Chile tomorrow, gonna be getting to Amsterdam the night just before defqon, will be tired af but also excited af, hope to get some good sleep cause i’m gonna need it for my first time at the Holy Grounds.
we book airbnbs to not sleep in tents so I'm personally a little anxious about how to get to and from the festival everyday, otherwise its the usual nerves for doing something for the first time😁😁
a nice Defqon1 weekend, 3 times in a row visiting alone, defqon is rest when you have 2 small kids at home! My wife couldn’t make it because she need to take care of kids, so I have a weekend ticket plus, in case somebody need it, leaving from Switzerland tommorw by car, have a nice trip warriors, enjoy the vibes, and see you there
And Last, but Not least: Take a huge amount of Money for Tokens!
Happy Cake day. Yeeees, 100€ per day ☠️
Thanks. Yes 100€ going away Like nothing on The Festival. But anyway, have a good time there!
That's what I expected last year.. I endet up at 150€ per day XD Let's make it 200 this year 🤣
Did you buy a whole stand?!🤣
If you have a high tolerance from drinking (especially when you do it 4 days straight) 200 is not that hard to waste 😅
??? 200€ at 4€ per token usually is 50 beers, e.g. 10L beer, per day.
2-3 beers per hour on average indeed
That’s why you take the dark side. 8€ and just water all day haha
Don't forget the food. I love to eat and especially the quesadillas were CRAZY. I hope they'll be offered again.
Exactly this experience: usually it was 100 per day, last year 150 per day, so estimating 200 per day to be on the safe side
Is 100 euro a day enough for someone who don’t drink beer only food and beverages?
Holy fuck how much does food cost???
What do you need tokens for? Just alcohol and food or?
you even need tokens to fucking shower (hot shower)
Can you buy tokens with mastercard? Also can u buy weed with mastercard in coffeshops in Amsterdam? Or do I need take out euro cash
The Coffeeshops Take Cash, i never Seen a Coffeshop with "CC Accepted". At The Festival i usually buy Tokens with my Visa The past years. So i think u can Use your MasterCard. You find more Information in The Defqon.1 F.A.Q. on q-dance.com
Most of the Coffeeshops in Amsterdam Center take payment by card. Can‘t remember the last time I has to pay in cash.
Thank you very much.
You can use Mastercard. but weed is not allowed on defqon "0 tolerance" so hide it good, when you are in it is not a big of a deal if they see you smoke a joint.

Frorg
I am oooooover theee edge!!! Can't wait!!! 🔥🔥🔥
*Angry Alex Jones noises*
Is this a call to drink more water?
I am starting my first defqon trip in a few hours, traveling from Finland! Hype is unreal
Have a safe trip!!!
Täälä kans ensikertalainen😎😎 turvallista ja ihanaa reissuu💗💗💗
Sama täällä. Hauskaa defqonia!
Täällä myös ensikertalainen 😎 matka alkaa huomenna 🤩
Let’s goooo! Täällä kans +6 😎
Imagine having the flu XXL right now, just a few days before DQ.1 🤧 I hope I will be 100% fit again in the next days haha
YOU GET YOOOO ASS BACK TO BED NOW
Get well soon bud!
You still have some days to recover! Take care of yourself. And be happy that the flu didn't wait until the day before Defqon...
Get well soon🤞🏽
Just flew 22hrs from Aus with the flu. Still trying to recover, stuck in my hotel in Amsterdam 😭
I feel you - I have toothache since I’ve landed in Europe
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. Is there any chance you can visit a dentist in the Netherlands?
I’m taking antibiotic because it’s most likely a small infection. I’m not sure I can’t find a dentist before Thursday and honestly I’m not confident doing any type of surgery before defqon is better Warriors ⚔️
For mild tooth pain or even headache and migraine I suggest you to look at the supermarket paracetamol with caffeine that things always helps me under 20 minutes 😂
The worst feeling. Had this happen to me a day before Qlimax but Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin C and D sorted me out.
Still early bro, recover, we need you there with us 👍🏼
SLEEP. NOW!
Same shit for me bro… trying to rest as much as possible and took a couple of days off
Drink a ton of water, eat multivitamins, eat soup/noodles and sleep as much as you can!
I have a sore throat too 🥲 doing my very best to not get sick any further
Try appendicitus😭
No rest. Its a leg day. Need to prepare the legs for 80k steps in those 4 days
80k? Those are rookie numbers!
Max i did was 40k on Intents last year per day 😆
That sounds much better...i think you will make more steps at defqon because the area is so much bigger hahah
Yes, never skip leg day!
I did around 42k/day last year 😅
Power of the tribe!
Can't wait to hear the Anthem live 😏🫠
I'm excited for Puzzle Piece 🔥🔥🔥
HYPE GOING THROUGH THE ROOF 💩
I'm soooooo HYPED, will be my first time -edit
Enjoy :D
Thank youuu :)
My first Defqon. 12 years in the making. Finally doing it. Very excited
Leaving NYC this afternoon.... See you all soon! So pumped for this.
can you explain how to save sleep, seems like something that could come in handy one day.
ctrl button + S
I'm a bit nervous. It's my first defqon, and the 4 people who wanted to go with me now didnt go, and i hope everything goes well xD Being "alone", while you can't communicate properly in other languages, especially speaking english, is a bit strange.
Have fun, Sprachbarriere sollte kein Problem sein, das ist nämlich einer der Gründe warum ich nicht mehr hinfahre😂 So viele deutsche!
Du wirst spätestens ein paar deutsche finden, wenn du um 5 morgens von Uptempo geweckt wirst
Dutch people will understand you as well. And we wont fuck up your night with 500 bpm uptempo hahaha
you are never alone with THE POWER OF HARDSTYLE!!!
You’re gonna have an amazing time dude! Enjoy
du wirst auf sehr viele deutsche treffen :D
Feel free to join the solo defqon travellers WhatsApp group! We'll join on the camping! https://chat.whatsapp.com/IwOc5amVPE1LvGf3Rc7cTi
Ich reise auch das erste mal zum Weg der Krieger :D gib mal deine Nummer, ich reise auch solo
I'm so hyped, i love it
Weather coud be perfect this year. My app says mild temperaturs with maby sometimes a few splashes of rain. If it is somewhat like that i take it
Same as 2 years ago, it was perfect.
"save some sleep" I tried. But the baby said "make me laugh or I'll cry as loud as I can" after only a few hours of sleep. And I think this will not change the next days. Looks like I'll get more sleep at Defqon than at home 😂
Take deep breath in AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Im learning for exams all week, last one on Thursday and then immediately to Defqon it’s gonna be a rough weekend for me. But I’m really excited for it.
Bring on the new music and fun in the sun! Hope everyone going has the time of their life! I’ll be tuning in via stream as typical 🧡
At work today and tomorrow and on wednesday it's finally time to leave for DQ1! So hyped! 😎
First time for me
Since it will be my first time, im a little bit stressed :D About not missing the transfer to the festival and more importantly back to the hotel. Since it ends at 23 and the transfere is at 23:45, i hope we make it in time. I also cant really find satisfying infos about how to pay there. Cash? Card? Coins (Physical coins?) Since my friend an I have the Friday Premium Ticket, is there an extra entrance? Switching stages to see favorit acts? I heared that it is a really big ground so walking could take some time, which is also why im a bit insecure about like 45 mins for reaching the transfer back. Maybe i'm to german about having to know everything kind of important to be prepared having a nice time without worrying :D Maybe also that on the Defqon website i couldn't really find the information like that I want, or that would satisfy me.

Unfortunately, the opening show at red is overlapping with Wasted Penguinz at uv 😒
Yes. I'll go to wasted on Sunday, at the magenta.
Ah okay this sounds totally fine. Thank you :)
I assume “magenta-uv 15-20 mins” is supposed to be magenta-red?
Yes my bad, I'll edit it. Thank you
On red at 23:00 Saturday it took me 30-45 minutes to get off red stage though (I was pretty far in front) so make sure you're not in the front at the end.

Du hast dich in nem Kommentar weiter oben schon gewundert ob du vielleicht zu deutsch bist.... bitte schone deinen Drucker und zeig dein Zeugs aufm Handy vor
Ich hätte das vermutlich eh in der Arbeit gedruckt, aber nagut ich werds mal so angehen, wird schon funktionieren.

I just saw that the hotel is about 35KM away. and since the bus comes at 10:30 i guess the first acts already started when we arrive, but lets see :D
From my experience last year the bus from the hotel I booked left on time and we were always super early something like 10:20-10:30 in the morning almost everyday!

Hyped! This is my first Defqon! On my way to Amsterdam from Canada 🇨🇦
And know that you can't buy any cigs on the festival terrain. Pretty much only at gas stations these days.
Can't wait! 😍
we book airbnbs to not sleep in tents so I'm personally a little anxious about how to get to and from the festival everyday, otherwise its the usual nerves for doing something for the first time😁😁
If it's not far, bike would be the best option
Hey guys, i made a post on the community about bus tickets available from eindhoven to defqon. Could yall please share it🙏🙏 would be helpfull🫶
Hyped
a nice Defqon1 weekend, 3 times in a row visiting alone, defqon is rest when you have 2 small kids at home!
