MOBILE-FREE SHOW |
|
We are doing everything to make these shows a night to remember and a unique experience, therefore we kindly ask you to not make use of your mobile phones during the shows and enjoy the show to the fullest together with us on stage and all the fans in the venue.
All unauthorized professional photo-, video- or recording equipment is prohibited in the venue. We will make sure the show is photographed and audio/video is recorded in the highest quality, for the fans to enjoy later on. We hope you all will respect this request.

TRANSPORTATION |
|
- Can 013 easily be reached by public transport?
013 lies within a walking distance of only 10-15 minutes from the Central Station. Click here for a link to get your route. For those coming by train please go to the website of the NS (Dutch railroads) for all info and to buy your train ticket. The closest bus stop is ‘Heuvelring’, 2 minutes’ walk from 013. For current bus times, check the 9292.nl app or website.
- What is the best place for parking?
There are several parking garages within walking distance of the 013 venue. The Tivoli parking garage, directly next to the 013 venue, is the nearest. (Be warned that this one tends to fill up fast with sold out shows.) The parking garages at Pieter Vreedeplein and Heuvelpoort are situated at a walking distance of 3 minutes. The addresses for your GPS:
P1 - 013-Tivoli - Achter de Heuvel 3 - 5038 CW Tilburg P2 - Pieter Vreedeplein - Magazijnstraat 46 - 5038 BP Tilburg P3 - Heuvelpoort - Heuvelpoort 353 - 5038 DT Tilburg
Additional info 013 – Tivoli Parkeergarage: Owing to its ideal location, the 013-Tivoli car park can get very busy during concerts. As pay-on-exit tickets for this car park can only be purchased in the car park itself and not in 013, we advise using the pre-paid ticket button after 18:00 hours on concert days. You then pay €6 in advance and can park until closing time, and don’t have to stand in a queue after visiting 013.
If you are parking for less than three hours, not using the pre-paid parking option might save you a little money, but at the risk of standing in a long queue when leaving.

013 is fully cashless. The 013-tokens cannot be used anymore since February 1, 2023.
- Are there sufficient hotels in the surroundings of 013?
013 is situated in the center of Tilburg, so there are several hotels. Click for hotels in and around Tilburg. Please note that most of the hotels are fully booked. Another great option is the special Ayreon Camping site in the center of Tilburg with different arrangements. Marcela Bovio will do an intimate gig on Friday 15 September at 12:00!

The adjacent Korte Heuvel is full of pubs and small restaurants.

MERCHANDISE & POPUP STORE |

This year we are very pleased to have an Ayreon popup store. Our popup store will display all merchandise previously showcased on our webshop. This is an opportunity to leisurely explore, try on items, and collect all your favorites. But the store holds more surprises!
Location Find the popup store at the NEXT stage, right inside the smaller hall of the 013 venue. It's just a stone's throw away from the MAIN stage where all the magic happens.
Dates & hours The popup store is open from Thursday, 14th September, right through to Sunday, 17th September.
09:00 to 18:00 - Access via the outdoor entrance (it's free!) 19:00 to 00:00 - Access via the indoor entrance (only with a valid show ticket)
Ayreon collectibles Rare vinyls, CDs, and box sets will be available. This includes super-special, limited-edition items from Arjen's private stash – think unique test pressings!
Ayreon Brews We're proud to introduce two Ayreon-exclusive beers, beautifully canned and available only at our popup store. Stay tuned for more details later this week!
Art & Auction Check out the foyer for custom-made canvases featuring live photos and Ayreon artwork. Feeling lucky? These masterpieces will be auctioned after the shows, with all proceeds going to QUIET.
Good vibes With the bar open and the music pumping, the popup store has all the ingredients for a good time. And there's still one more surprise!

AYREON SIDE PROGRAM & FAN DISCOUNT |
|
Together with ‘Ticket to Tilburg’ and several businesses in Tilburg we’ve created an ‘Ayreon discount booklet & Tilburg city map’. In this booklet you'll find a custom made Ayreon city center map with tips for getting the most out of your visit to Tilburg, plus coupons for lots of exclusive discounts in many of Tilburg's shops, bars and restaurants.
You can pre-order the booklet in our webshop for only 3,50 Euros. You'll also be able to buy this booklet in our popup store.
On top of that ‘Ticket to Tilburg’ created a great and informative landing page with a lot of information, hotspots, fun facts and things-to-do in Tilburg. Arjen and Joost did an interview with them, which you will also find on this page. There might be some ‘beans spilled’ so be sure to check it out!
When you're in Tilburg and in the mood for a beer and some music, the Little Devil bar is your place to be! At this bar, the beer is cold, there is a variety of whiskeys to choose from, and on Friday the 15th there will be live music from the Canadian post-punk band Schedule 1.
