Parking at the ArenA
There are large garages around the ArenA area, but they fill quickly and exits are slow after concerts. Book in advance if you have to drive.
Taxi
Taxi ranks are set up near the stadium on event days. Use licensed taxis only and expect queues after the show.
Flying in: Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS)

Driving and parking
Event traffic around Amsterdam-Zuidoost and the A2 and A9 motorways is heavy before and after shows. Park-and-ride locations around the city, combined with the train or metro, are usually faster.
Getting home after the show
Bijlmer ArenA station gets crowds of tens of thousands after the show, with platform access managed in waves. Walking to Strandvliet or Duivendrecht can be quicker. Late trains run to Centraal, Schiphol and Utrecht; check the last departures before you go.
