ADE 2026 Resale Tickets: What Is Sold Out, Each Party's Official Resale Route and How Not to Get Scammed
ADE 2026 resale tickets: what is sold out, each promoter's official resale route, what is still on sale at face value and the scams to avoid.
There is no single ADE festival ticket: every Amsterdam Dance Event party sells its own tickets through its own organiser, so the only safe resale route for a sold-out ADE 2026 party is the one that promoter runs. A Facebook group or a screenshot sent over Instagram is a bet on a barcode that may already be dead. For the rest of the week, read our full ADE 2026 guide.
ADE 2026 resale at a glance
- How buying works: ADE's own shop sells the Pro Pass, not party tickets. Festival tickets come from each organiser, through the ticket link on each event page in the ADE programme.
- What is sold out: at the time of writing (mid October 2026), every Gashouder ADE show except Eric Prydz, Jean-Michel Jarre, AMF general admission, Skepta's Más Tiempo, five of eight Awakenings shows and four DGTL ADE events, among others.
- What is still on sale: Eric Prydz, three Awakenings nights, four DGTL events, Defected at Thuishaven, STMPD RCRDS at AFAS Live and AMF VIP.
- Official resale: Gashouder resale; AMF Waiting List on Paylogic; Ticketmaster for MOJO and Melkweg; TicketSwap for Awakenings, DGTL and Thuishaven; RA resale for RA tickets, with TicketSwap (Skepta) and Celebratix (Interplanetary Criminal) via their promoter.
- Red flags: Facebook resale groups, screenshots, unpersonalised tickets for shows that require a name, and anyone holding a ticket before the promoter has released it.
How ADE tickets actually work
ADE is an umbrella, not a festival with a gate. Its festival page says "ADE Festival tickets are sold individually by the festival organizers", and its FAQ sends ticket questions, lost tickets included, to the promoter or venue. ADE gives no general resale advice. So "is ADE sold out?" has no answer: ADE counts more than 1,300 events, and each ticketed one is its own sale, with its own shop, personalisation rules and resale route. The Pro Pass is no back door either: ADE calls it "strictly personal and non-transferable" and checks ID at pick-up; our Pro Pass verdict covers whether to buy one.
Why ADE's sold-out flags lag the promoters
On 15 October, 47 of the 1,485 event listings in the ADE programme for Wednesday to Sunday carried a "sold out" flag. It misses a lot. Jarre is sold out on AFAS Live's own page, Mochakk Calling on gashouder.nl, AMF general admission on the AMF site and Interplanetary Criminal on RA, yet none of them had ADE's flag. Nor did Skepta's Más Tiempo, where sources disagree: its promoter's page offers only resale tickets, but on 15 October RA showed its one €77.80 tier as available again, without saying if that is resale stock. Trust the promoter's shop, not the programme. MOJO's pages are no guide either: on 13 and 15 October its Jarre and KI/KI pages showed live buy buttons and no sold-out label, so check Ticketmaster itself.

The resale rules, brand by brand
| Promoter | Route | The rules that matter |
| Gashouder | Resale button on each sold-out show's page | Its FAQ calls its own ticket site the only safe way to buy a sold-out ADE show; not Marktplaats or other channels. Unpersonalised tickets get no entry. Sellers are refunded within four working days after the event. |
| AMF | AMF Waiting List on Paylogic | Sellers list from the Paylogic email (Manage Order, More actions). A matched buyer gets limited time to pay; once matched, the seller cannot cancel. |
| MOJO (Jarre, KI/KI) | Ticketmaster | Mobile tickets tied to your Ticketmaster account. Printed tickets and screenshots give no entry. Transfers only inside Ticketmaster. |
| Melkweg | Ticketmaster Transfer and Resale | Entry needs the moving barcode; a resold ticket gets a new one. Its KYBBA page warns: "Let op: er zijn oplichters actief!" (watch out, scammers are active). |
| DGTL | TicketSwap, from your DGTL account | Every ticket is personalised. Resale is capped at 20% above and 20% below the original price, so roughly €66 at most for a €54.95 Thursday ticket. |
| Awakenings | TicketSwap with SecureSwap | The seller's barcode is cancelled and the buyer gets a new ticket. Awakenings warns that marketplace or social media tickets risk being invalid. |
| Thuishaven | TicketSwap | The only second-hand route it trusts. It says it regularly hears from people scammed elsewhere. |
| RA events (Skepta, Interplanetary Criminal) | RA resale queue | RA's data showed resale switched on for both on 13 and 15 October. The queue opens once every release has sold out, at the final tier price; the event page's notification toggle emails you when a ticket comes up. RA says RA tickets sold anywhere else are "extremely likely to be fraudulent". |
| Artists for President (Skepta, Interplanetary Criminal) | TicketSwap for Skepta, Celebratix for Interplanetary Criminal | The promoter's own resale links. Celebratix QR codes rotate, and a resold ticket gets a new one. |
TicketSwap is an ADE 2026 partner, and ADE's partner page links to its ADE collection. That does not make every listing there official. TicketSwap is the official route only where the promoter is plugged into it; for Gashouder, MOJO, Melkweg and AMF shows, it is not.
Personalised tickets are released days before the show
Most of the big promoters here sell sealed tickets, usually personalised: each person claims a ticket in their own name, and the barcode arrives close to the show. Awakenings sends e-tickets on Monday 19 October. Gashouder often releases sealed tickets a few days before each event. Thuishaven, whose tickets carry no name, opens downloads 48 hours before, RA issues barcodes 24 hours before, and DGTL sends its Thursday tickets on 22 October itself.
That is the scammer's weak point. A week out, nobody can send you a working barcode for a sealed show, because it has not been released. A PDF or screenshot offered now for one of these shows is not a ticket the promoter has issued. The official routes cancel the seller's ticket and issue a new one to the buyer, which a stranger online cannot do.
Red flags
- Facebook groups: a UK search for "ADE resale tickets" on 12 October turned up groups set up to buy, sell and swap ADE 2026 tickets. Nobody in them can reissue a personalised ticket.
- Screenshots: MOJO and Melkweg refuse them.
- "I'll change the name later": name changes go through the main booker and the promoter's system, not a promise in a chat.
- A price over the cap: a DGTL ticket at more than 20% over face value is off the official route.
Still on sale at face value
At the time of writing (mid October 2026), per promoter and venue sites on 15 October. Awakenings and DGTL prices are final release, including service costs, and all three Awakenings nights plus DGTL's Shimza and FUSE were flagged almost sold out.

Every other party still on sale is in ADE 2026 parties day by day. Set times and trains for Halfweg are in our Awakenings ADE 2026 guide, and the ArenA night is in our AMF 2026 guide.
Heineken's giveaway: the legitimate long shot
ADE says that registering on the site of its main partner, Heineken, gives a chance to win a Pro Pass or one of more than 400 tickets to events around town, including sold-out ones. Heineken's own page counts 1,500 free tickets for registrants and set Thursday 15 October at 10:00 for the link to claim up to two for its opening, De Eerste Proost, which ADE's programme lists at Club NYX on Wednesday 21 October, 17:00 to 20:30. Registering guarantees nothing, and the free tickets may be gone.
What I would do
If my party was gone, I would bookmark its official resale page, check it morning and evening, and watch hardest in the last few days, when plans change. I would not pay a stranger for anything outside the promoter's own system. Boiler Room's sold-out shows work the same way, through returns, as our Boiler Room tickets guide explains.
FAQ
Is ADE 2026 sold out?
Not as a whole: there is no single ADE ticket. Many headline shows are sold out at the time of writing (mid October 2026), but plenty are still on sale.
How do ADE tickets work?
Each event is ticketed by its own organiser, through the ticket link on its ADE programme page. ADE's own shop sells passes, not party tickets.
Can I use TicketSwap for ADE tickets?
Yes for Awakenings, DGTL and Thuishaven, which name TicketSwap as their official resale, and for Skepta, whose promoter links to it. Gashouder, MOJO, Melkweg and AMF use their own routes, and RA tickets resell on RA.
How do I get a resale ticket for a sold-out Gashouder show?
Through the Resale button on the show's page at gashouder.nl. Gashouder calls it the only safe way, and tickets must be personalised.
How does the AMF waiting list work?
Sold-out tickets are only available through the AMF Waiting List on Paylogic. When a ticket matches you, you get a limited time to pay.
Why have I not received my ADE ticket yet?
Many promoters use sealed tickets released shortly before the show: Awakenings on Monday 19 October, Thuishaven 48 hours before, RA 24 hours before. Where the promoter asks for it, make sure your ticket is personalised.
