For the rest of the week, read [our full ADE 2026 guide](https://www.mneemo.com/blog/amsterdam-dance-event-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. ## Sold out at the time of writing Status from each promoter's own site or shop, rechecked 15 October. "ADE flag": whether the programme showed it. **Event****Day****Venue****Official resale****ADE flag** Swan Lake Remixed (both shows)Wed 21GashouderGashouder resaleYes Armin van Buuren & BenwalWed 21GashouderGashouder resaleYes Jean-Michel JarreWed 21AFAS LiveTicketmaster transfer onlyNo KYBBA & Metropole OrkestWed 21MelkwegTicketmasterYes I Hate Models & Nico Moreno InviteThu 22GashouderGashouder resaleYes DGTL ADE ThursdayThu 22NDSM WarehouseTicketSwap, 20% capYes Drumcode (Awakenings)Thu 22SugarfactoryTicketSwapYes GlitterboxThu 22ThuishavenTicketSwap; RA resale for RA ticketsNo Job Jobse (daytime)Fri 23GashouderGashouder resaleYes Mochakk CallingFri 23GashouderGashouder resaleNo Metamorfosi (Awakenings)Fri 23SugarfactoryTicketSwapYes DGTL ADE Friday NightFri 23NDSM WarehouseTicketSwap, 20% capYes Franky Rizardo Presents: FlowSat 24GashouderGashouder resaleYes Sammy Virji CuratesSat 24GashouderGashouder resaleYes AMF general admission, VIP PremiumSat 24Johan Cruijff ArenAAMF Waiting ListNo Skepta Presents: Más TiempoSat 24Warehouse ElementenstraatTicketSwap via the promoter; RA resale for RA ticketsNo Trip To Galaxy (Awakenings)Sat 24SugarfactoryTicketSwapYes DGTL: Lane 8 presents This Never HappenedSat 24KromhouthalTicketSwap, 20% capYes DGTL: Novah & FriendsSat 24NDSM WarehouseTicketSwap, 20% capYes Thuishaven Saturday day and AfterjamSat 24ThuishavenTicketSwapNo Josh BakerSun 25GashouderGashouder resaleYes Interplanetary CriminalSun 25Bajes AmsterdamCelebratix via the promoter; RA resale for RA ticketsNo Sunday Sessions, Prophecy (Awakenings)Sun 25SugarfactoryTicketSwapYes Thuishaven SundaySun 25ThuishavenTicketSwapYes ## The resale rules, brand by brand **Promoter****Route****The rules that matter** GashouderResale button on each sold-out show's pageIts 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. AMFAMF Waiting List on PaylogicSellers 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)TicketmasterMobile tickets tied to your Ticketmaster account. Printed tickets and screenshots give no entry. Transfers only inside Ticketmaster. MelkwegTicketmaster Transfer and ResaleEntry 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). DGTLTicketSwap, from your DGTL accountEvery 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. AwakeningsTicketSwap with SecureSwapThe seller's barcode is cancelled and the buyer gets a new ticket. Awakenings warns that marketplace or social media tickets risk being invalid. ThuishavenTicketSwapThe only second-hand route it trusts. It says it regularly hears from people scammed elsewhere. RA events (Skepta, Interplanetary Criminal)RA resale queueRA'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 CriminalThe 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. ![The long dark shipbuilding hall at the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam-Noord, with Netherland Shipbuilding Company lettered along its side and small boats moored in front](https://www.mneemo.com/assets/blog/ade-2026-sold-out-tickets-resale-guide/img-01.jpg?v=205c4a44) *FIG. 02 · THE OLD SHIPBUILDING HALL ON THE NDSM WHARF, AMSTERDAM-NOORD. DGTL'S NDSM WAREHOUSE SHOWS ARE ON THE SAME WHARF.

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. **Event****Day****Venue****Price** Awakenings ADE Opening NightWed 21Sugarfactory, Halfweg€64.95 Eric PrydzThu 22Gashouderfrom €59.95 10 Years of STMPD RCRDSThu 22AFAS Livefrom €54.98 Defected (night)Thu 22Thuishaven€29.95 DGTL: Tinlicker & Special GuestsFri 23NDSM Warehouse€49.95 Awakenings Friday SessionsFri 23Sugarfactory, Halfweg€64.95 DGTL: Shimza & CoSat 24NDSM Warehouse€64.95 Adriatique All Night Long (Awakenings)Sat 24Sugarfactory, Halfweg€69.95 AMF VIPSat 24Johan Cruijff ArenAVIP only, price in the AMF shop DGTL: FUSESun 25NDSM Warehouse€64.95 DGTL: Folamour All Day LongSun 25Kromhouthal€64.95 Every other party still on sale is in [ADE 2026 parties day by day](https://www.mneemo.com/blog/ade-2026-parties-day-by-day-guide/).

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](https://www.mneemo.com/blog/boiler-room-2026-tickets-how-to-get-in/) 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. ## Sources - Amsterdam Dance Event: [ADE Festival](https://www.amsterdam-dance-event.nl/en/ade-festival/), [FAQ](https://www.amsterdam-dance-event.nl/en/faq-and-contact/), [TicketSwap partner page](https://www.amsterdam-dance-event.nl/en/partners/ticketswap/61600/), [programme data](https://www.amsterdam-dance-event.nl/api/program/filter/?section=events&type=8262%2C8263&from=2026-10-21&to=2026-10-25&page=0) (flags and times, 13 and 15 October), [30 Years ADE with Heineken](https://www.amsterdam-dance-event.nl/en/news/celebrate-30-years-ade-with-heineken/2920794/), [De Eerste Proost listing](https://www.amsterdam-dance-event.nl/en/program/2026/heineken-official-opening/2887284/). - Heineken: [ADE page](https://www.heineken.com/nl/nl/ade). - Gashouder: [programme](https://www.gashouder.nl/), [FAQ](https://gashouder.nl/faq), [Eric Prydz](https://www.gashouder.nl/programma/eric-prydz) and [its ticket shop](https://tickets.gashouder.nl/event/eric-prydz-vsbz4s). - AMF: [FAQ](https://amf-festival.com/faq/), [tickets](https://amf-festival.com/tickets/). - MOJO: [Jean-Michel Jarre](https://www.mojo.nl/jeanmicheljarre), [KI/KI](https://www.mojo.nl/kiki).
