A collector’s item to go with the collection!

Ticketmaster, our official and only sales channel, has a new service: ‘resell tickets’. This allows you to safely and honestly resell your own Pinkpop ticket or take over an unavailable ticket from another fan.
Selling?
Offering your ticket is very easy:
1. Log in to your Ticketmaster account
2. Select the ticket you want to sell and click the ‘sell’ button
3. Set your selling price.
Your ticket is then immediately available to other fans!
Want to buy?
On the Pinkpop event pages of Ticketmaster you will find under ‘Other options’ the tickets that have been made available by other fans. You can also register on the waiting list. As soon as tickets become available you will receive an email from Ticketmaster. The waiting list option appears when you click on ‘Continue’ for a regular ticket.
Resale tickets are cancelled after sale at the seller. The buyer will receive a new ticket with a new barcode.
Check here if you have further questions about resale tickets.
Please note: Reselling parking tickets is not possible. After selling your festival ticket, these can be deactivated and your credit will be refunded.
The ideal option for camping visitors!
Please note! You can only purchase the parking tickets for P3, P5 and P6 when you buy your ticket(s) for Pinkpop. You can then click on the parking tickets in the upsell.
The parking tickets are at your own risk. Prices include service fees.
Access to our regular campsites (Camping A, B and C) is automatically included with a weekend ticket. Of course you don’t have to use this, you can also just visit the festival site for three days and go home in the evening.
You can pick up your hat during Pinkpop at the Amnesty International stand at the festival site (on presentation of this ticket and your ID). For questions about your order contact Amnesty International.
It is not possible to use one weekend ticket with more than one person, it is personalized. You will receive one non-transferable wristband for the entire Pinkpop weekend. Keep your ticket in your pocket during the entire weekend, because you have to be able to show it at all times.
The minimum age to visit Pinkpop unaccompanied is 12 years old.
Children younger than 12 years old are only allowed to visit Pinkpop when accompanied and in possession of a valid festival ticket. To discourage parents from bringing their (small) children there is no reduced rate for children.
We therefore advise against bringing small children to an event that is so massively attended.
No, Pinkpop 2023 ticket sales are entirely online. Therefore, there are no physical sales addresses.
Your festival ticket(s) will show the name of the person who bought the tickets. This is no problem at all when entering the festival site. So you do not have to enter together with this person or change the name if this person cannot join you (anymore).
For ALL weekend visitors: wristband + ticket = entrance.
As a weekend visitor, you must be able to show your wristband + entrance ticket when entering the festival site on all three festival days (the same applies to the campsites). So keep your entrance ticket in your pocket even after receiving your wristband!
ATTENTION!
Wristbands are personal and cannot be transferred or shared with someone else. For example, you cannot come on Friday, get your wristband and let someone else enter on Saturday and Sunday with the same wristband.
If you lose your wristband and/or entrance ticket, a new entrance ticket must be purchased. This can only be done while supplies last.
Once purchased tickets will not be taken back.
For day visitors: ticket = entrance.
So you will not receive a wristband! During the festival you may leave the festival site, but do not forget to scan your ticket! If you do not scan your ticket, you will not be allowed to enter the festival site.
We have a close cooperation with INTER (the organization for accessible events) with whom we try together to make the festival as accessible as possible for everyone. Would you like to use the disabled facilities on our festival grounds, camping A or the disabled parking spaces? Then – after purchasing a Pinkpop ticket – fill out the online request form here.
Please note! There are no special festival tickets available for disabled visitors. There are also no discounts given to persons with disabilities or an accompanying person. Everyone pays the same price.
Do not buy a separate parking ticket. Your request to INTER will be reviewed fairly quickly and if approved, you will receive a disabled parking ticket through them. Should your request be rejected, you can still buy a regular parking ticket afterwards.
Disabled parking will be provided as close to the entrance to the festival site and Camping A as possible. Access for this can be requested through INTER. The number of spaces is limited, so don’t wait too long with your request!
Request facilities to help you enjoy Pinkpop to the fullest via the INTER request form.
Festival site entrance
There is a separate, more accessible and less crowded entrance for people with disabilities. You may use this with one companion. Guide and assistance dogs are allowed on both the festival grounds and camping area.
Elevated platforms
Near the stages there is a platform where wheelchair users, people with crutches, people with autism spectrum disorders, etc. (plus one companion) can enjoy their favorite acts. Obviously, the platform is primarily for people with disabilities. Therefore, if the platform becomes too crowded, Inter-assistants will ask companions to leave the platform.
Adapted toilets
There are some adapted toilets scattered around the festival site. Inter-assistants are present on the festival grounds (including at the wheelchair stages). They lend a hand where needed: a toilet visit, food or drink or a problem with your wheelchair.
You can request facilities to help you enjoy Pinkpop to the fullest via the INTER request form.
Is it necessary for you to bring special food or medication? Then it is not necessary to get a certificate or fill out a form in advance. On the day of the festival you bring a valid medical statement (and a valid Pinkpop ticket) to the disabled entrance where INTER will perform a check. Only people with a statement can use this entrance. Friends and family can use the regular entrance!
Scootmobiles and walkers are not allowed on the festival grounds without medical necessity and prior permission.
Request facilities to help you enjoy Pinkpop to the fullest via the INTER request form.
The ideal option for camping visitors!
Please note! You can only purchase the parking tickets for P3, P5 and P6 when you buy your ticket(s) for Pinkpop. You can then click on the parking tickets in the upsell.
The parking tickets are at your own risk. Prices include service fees.
Don’t feel like walking or taking the shuttle bus? Then choose Park & Bike!
Attention! You can bring your own bike or rent one in advance via MOBIAN. You can then pick it up on site.
The ideal option for day visitors!
Easy remote parking and shuttle transportation to and from the festival site from there.
Please note! The parking tickets for P6 and P7 can only be purchased when you buy your Pinkpop ticket(s). You can then click the parking tickets in the upsell.
The parking tickets are at your own risk. Prices include service fees.
Travel comfortably on your own and with your own car!
Together with Q-park we offer the possibility to reserve a parking space in a Q-Park parking garage in neighboring Heerlen. From your chosen parking garage you walk to Heerlen station, where eight times an hour a train leaves and takes you within 4 minutes to Landgraaf station. From Landgraaf station you can walk to the festival site in about 20 minutes.
In 2023, we do not offer facilities for charging electric cars.
You can only purchase a parking ticket as an upsell item in the payment process of purchasing your festival ticket(s) for Pinkpop. In case you forgot, please email info@pinkpop.nl.
If you have a ticket for a Glampink accommodation you do not need a separate parking ticket. This is because the Glampink includes a parking ticket for the special Glampink parking lot (right next to the Glampink)!
Please note: you do need to add the included ticket to your shopping basket during the purchase of your ticket(s).
One parking ticket (P6 or P7) guarantees one vehicle. The occupants of that vehicle can simply take the shuttle bus to the festival site. So you only need a parking ticket for the vehicle you are coming with.
Overnight parking is not permitted in any of our parking lots. These are set up for parking and not for overnight stays.
At the time of the festival, all access roads are blocked off, so an address or directions to one of our parking lots is useless. It is best to navigate to Pinkpop and from the moment you get close follow the yellow signs to your parking lot, they will automatically show you the quickest route there.
Are you from the neighborhood? Then take your bike! Cycling is healthy, better for the environment, you don’t have to deal with traffic jams and you can park for free in front of the door in the bike park near the main entrance. In 2023 there will be both guarded and unguarded bicycle parking facilities. More information will follow.
Don’t feel like lugging luggage, crowded train stations or busy parking lots? Then come with an organized bus trip to Pinkpop 2023! We offer weekend and day tickets with many different boarding points throughout the Netherlands.
If you are with a group of more than 10 people then request your own departure point! Send an email to klantenservice@onthemove-online.nl, they will see if this point can be added to the itinerary.
More info and tickets can be found here.
Pinkpop is easily accessible by train; every year (extra) trains run to and from Landgraaf.
Avoid long queues when checking in and out!
We advise you to buy an e-ticket in advance. This way you do not have to check in and out at Heerlen station with NS and Arriva. This way the trains can move faster and you will be at Pinkpop sooner! Fill in Station Landgraaf as your final destination. You can travel with your OV-chipcard. But make sure you check in and out at Heerlen Station with NS and Arriva.
Plan your trip in advance
Before you leave, check the NS travel planners at www.ns.nl and Arriva in the glimble app or www.9292.nl for up-to-date travel advice and to purchase an e-ticket.
Don’t put all your hopes on the very last train, it can be very crowded.
There will be taxis at designated areas after the festival days. Please note that this is a limited number of taxis compared to the number of visitors. So if you want to be sure of a taxi, it is best to be ready early.
REMEMBER, in all cases, turn off your navigation and follow the yellow signs on site!
No camping
Within walking distance of the festival site, at Kaldeborn on the Kerkraderweg in Heerlen, a KISS & RIDE spot will be set up for day and weekend visitors who do not stay overnight at a Pinkpop campsite. This is intended as a drop-off location for drivers who can in this way drop off or pick up visitors as close to the festival site as possible and is accessible 24/7.
From the KISS & RIDE spot follow the yellow signs walking to the festival site and back. The walking time is about 20 minutes.
Camping B
Next to Camping B, a KISS & RIDE will be set up for camping visitors. This will be accessible starting Thursday evening.
Travel by touring bus to and from Pinkpop!
Day and weekend trips: book last seats, there are still some boarding locations available
The last trains after Pinkpop go as follows:
Note: do not gamble on the very last train, it can be very crowded!
During Pinkpop you can stay overnight at one of our four official campings: Camping A, Camping B, Camping C or the Glampink from Thursday June 15 till Monday June 19!
Attention! The accommodations of the Glampink and FestiTent do not include the Pinkpop weekend ticket, you still have to buy a separate festival ticket (you can do that here!).
The regular campsites (A, B and C) can be visited with a weekend ticket (and wristband). With a day ticket you cannot use the festival campsites, even if you have a combination of 2 or 3 day tickets.
Luxurious, cozy and quiet accommodations!
Please note! A Glampink ticket does not give access to the festival grounds. To gain access to the grounds you need a valid e-ticket.
Rent a ready-to-use tent!
Please note! FestiTent’s ready-made tents are set up at Camping B. Access to Camping B is only granted upon presentation of a valid weekend ticket.
Lockers at Camping A, B and C can only be reserved on site for €15 (entire weekend, excluding €0.75 service charge) via a QR code.
This year – even more than ever – we are committed to organizing the most sustainable festival possible. Thanks in part to the sustainability policy introduced by MOJO, we are going to try to organize our festival with just a little more love for nature, animals and people in the years to come.
What are we already doing?
Backstage, scooters have been massively exchanged for bicycles and plastic bottles for reusable ones. All waste streams are separated and our (decoration) materials are reused as much and as long as possible.
Circular is the way to go!
Is something broken or left behind by visitors and no longer useful for the festival? Then we will find a new owner! For example, our banners are transformed into bags and accessories by leather and work company Philadelphia and we bring all leftover material and food from the campsites to local cycles and food banks.
Cup to Cup system
With the introduction of our Cup to Cup system, we are anticipating the legal ban on disposable cups from 2024. This allows us to create a new waste stream that we can sustainably recycle and does not end up in the litter. For you, the festival grounds will be a little cleaner again!
Away with the waste!
Through our partnership with WML we can offer free water that is clean, local, transport and packaging free! In addition, you can still receive one token for every 25 returned carrier trays. You can hand these in at the Recycle Zones on the grounds (found via the map).
Help us out and receive a souvenir!
Upon arrival at our campsites, you will receive a Pinkpop residual waste bag from us. Collect your garbage in this bag during the festival weekend to prevent it from floating around and to keep the campsite cleaner. As a token of thanks for tidying up the camping site, you will receive a unique Pinkpop souvenir from us for each item of leftover waste you hand in.
You can hand in the items you no longer use or want to take home at our receptions. We transfer these items to the food bank Limburg Zuid after the event so it can be reused. Sleeping bags we take to Sheltersuit, where they recycle this material into winter coats and new sleeping bags for people in need who fight the cold every day. Don’t leave your tent, however! This is because it does not recycle well and often ends up in a landfill. Just repack it and use it again!
No, because a day ticket does not give access to the Pinkpop campsites (not even with a combination of two or three day tickets). This also means that it is not possible to stay overnight at one of the Pinkpop campsites with a day ticket.
No! Pinkpop is a tent festival. Cars, campers, caravans and folding trailers, are not allowed on the festival campsites. You may be able to stay at campsite ‘De Watertoren’ in Landgraaf!
In 2023, Pinkpop will take place for the 34th time at the familiar festival site Megaland in Landgraaf, located at Hofstraat 13-15, 6372 XC Landgraaf.
On the festival grounds and at the campsites you pay with Pinkpop coins (except for merchandise, which can also be purchased with cash or PIN!). Pinkpop coins can be purchased at the token vending machines and cash registers. Here you can pay with Maestro, Vpay, Mastercard, VISA and cash. Tokens are not available prior to the festival.
It is also possible to return unused coins. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday you can return unused tokens at the token counters at the entrance between 21:00 and 00:00. Please note! This is only possible at this location, only on festival days and not at the campsites.
Pre-order a locker at the festival site!
After placing an order you will receive a confirmation email. On the morning of your chosen day(s) or weekend you will receive the unique codes of your locker via email at 08:00.
At the Pinkpop info desks you can find all information about the festival: the program, the weather forecast, information about locations, stages, facilities and public transport. For questions, problems, complaints, compliments, tips and golden ideas this is also the place to be!
Lost and found can be handed in and/or picked up at the information desks.
Yes, allowed:
No, not allowed:
Note! When in doubt, the security officer at the entrance will decide.
You are not allowed to bring your own food and/or drinks onto the festival grounds, there is plenty of varied and delicious food and drinks available! The quality of the food at Pinkpop is extremely high and the assortment grows every year. Besides the tastiest fries, snacks, kebabs, pizza and other festival food on the main grounds, you will find many exotic dishes at the food trucks and a wide choice of organic, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan exotic catering, all lovingly prepared by authentic caterers.
This year – even more than ever – we are committed to organizing the most sustainable festival possible. Thanks in part to the sustainability policy introduced by MOJO, we are going to try to organize our festival with just a little more love for nature, animals and people in the years to come.

Good to know:
The festival grounds open at 11:00 am each day and close at 00:00 am. The program begins each day around 12:00. Of course, these times are subject to change.
Especially for all mothers, there is a pump room at our emergency room. In this room it is also possible to store breast milk in a refrigerator.
Is it necessary for you to bring special food or medication? Then it is not necessary to get a certificate or fill out a form in advance. On the day of the festival you bring a valid medical statement (and a valid Pinkpop ticket) to the disabled entrance where INTER will perform a check. Only people with a statement can use this entrance. Friends and family can use the regular entrance!
At Pinkpop you pay for food and drinks (and some services) with consumption tokens. Tokens are sold per 5 tokens for €17.50. There are plenty of token counters and vending machines on the festival grounds. The coin tills near the entrance are the busiest. Don’t feel like standing in line? Then buy your tokens at one of the less crowded locations, such as the one near the Tent Stage. At each token counter you can pay with your debit (Maestro) or credit card. Consumption tokens are sold per 5 minimum and are only valid during Pinkpop 2023. This year it is possible to return unused tokens. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday you can hand in leftover tokens at the token counters at the entrance between 21:00 and 00:00. Please note, this can only be done at this location, only on festival days and not at the campsites.
