How did you get in touch with the Dance Valley guys? I had their email, but haven't been able to get a response from them.Not sure if buying tickets makes sense since that site is in Amsterdam and I have no idea if they'll ship tickets...

I had their email, but haven't been able to get a response from them. DaVe:I'll explain in a pm. If you want to buy a ticket, they will ship to the US from ticketservice.nl, although i would do it quickly because it takes about 2 weeks to get here. my friends got theirs pretty quicklylast year they were still selling tickets even on the day of the festival.... which was kind of odd considering they said they only limited themselves to 40,000 tickets... as evidence to the contrary, i provide you with this picture and this one too. There had to have been 40,000 at the hard dance stage alone. You can buy tickets in amsterdam at the 222 coffeeshop (222 oudzijs voorburgwal). while you're there, the white widow will knock you out of time, though its a little too heavy on the head for my tastes. the best part is that they have decks set up and a lot of the local djs come by to pick up their weed or take care of some dancevalley business and play a set for us. Once I heard JP!!!!!!! (not jonathan peters). the walls are even painted to look like the dancevalley festival grounds. often drum n bass is heard next door at the bulldog, although we haven't had much luck with their mushrooms - try conscious dreams instead, they have 6 different kinds, categorized by their effect instead of some obscure meaningless labeling based on country of origin. I have never stayed in greenhouse effect, but IMHO they have some of the best herbals the coffeeshop circuit has to offer. My i recommend the AK-47? This crazy nut job with dreads down to his ankles dispenses it with a candy scooper. the coffeeshop part is small and dark though, so also on oudezijs voorburgwal they have the "greenhouse centrum", which lets you sit outside and smoke cafe-style!!!!!!!222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
