Football trips to Ajax 2025/26

Planning a trip to see Ajax play at home in Amsterdam is straightforward once you know where to look. The challenge is usually not finding options, but working out which combination of ticket, hotel and flight actually suits your plans. On this site we compare alternatives from around 15 different companies — some sell match tickets only, others offer full travel packages with hotel and flights included. The packages vary quite a bit in terms of what's included, how many nights you get and which matches are available, so it's worth looking at the content rather than just the price. Once you've decided on a seller, the purchase is completed directly on their website. Payment methods, cancellation policies and what's included in the price differ between companies, so check those details before booking. Ajax play in the Eredivisie and in European competition, which means there are usually several home matches to choose from across the season.

Compare football trips to Ajax

When you compare football trips to Ajax on this site, you'll see options ranging from a single match ticket to a full football tour with accommodation, flights and sometimes extras like a stadium tour or pre-match meal. The companies listed here work with different match categories and price levels, so what looks like a similar package can vary a fair bit in practice. A package that includes a hotel close to the city centre, for example, is quite different from one where accommodation is further out. Some companies specialise in European away trips and know the Amsterdam match day setup well — that local knowledge can make a difference. It's also worth checking whether the travel package covers a specific match or gives flexibility on dates. If you're travelling with a group, some sellers offer group-specific options. Compare what's actually included and read the terms before deciding.

Ajax tickets

Getting Ajax tickets for a home game can be trickier than it sounds. Buying directly through the club requires a membership to even apply for tickets, and there's still no guarantee you'll get one — particularly for bigger matches or European nights. The sellers listed on this site offer match tickets as a straightforward alternative, and booking through them means you're securing your place without going through the club's membership system. Tickets for Ajax are available for both Eredivisie fixtures and European competition, though availability and pricing vary depending on the match. Some sellers also include the match ticket as part of a larger package. When comparing, check which stand or section the ticket covers, since the experience can differ depending on where you sit. The information about what's included is listed on each seller's page — if there's something extra, it's noted there.

Supporter guide to Ajax and Amsterdam ArenA

Visiting fans are typically allocated a section in the away end, and it's worth checking in advance which entrance you should use — stewards will direct you, but knowing beforehand saves time. Arrive at least an hour before kick-off; the area around the stadium fills up and queues at entry points can be long. The stadium is in the southeast of Amsterdam, not in the city centre, so the surrounding area isn't packed with pubs — most pre-match drinking happens closer to the centre or at the Bijlmer ArenA station area. The Heineken Experience is a popular stop for some fans, though it's on the other side of the city. Around the stadium itself, there are a few bars and food spots near the station. Ajax fans are passionate and the atmosphere in the home sections is intense, but the away end can be quieter depending on the match. Bring cash — some concessions don't accept cards.

Getting to Amsterdam ArenA

The easiest way to reach Amsterdam ArenA is by metro. Line 54 (the blue line) runs directly from Amsterdam Centraal to Bijlmer ArenA station, which is right next to the stadium — the journey takes around 15 minutes. Trains from Amsterdam Centraal also stop at Bijlmer ArenA, making it one of the better-connected stadiums in Europe for public transport. On match days, services run more frequently and there are extra trains after the final whistle. Trams and buses connect from other parts of the city to the metro network. Cycling is also an option if you're comfortable with Amsterdam's bike infrastructure — there's cycle parking near the stadium. Driving is possible, and there's parking in the area, but traffic after the match can be slow and public transport is genuinely faster. From the city centre by bike it's roughly 30–40 minutes depending on your starting point.

Amsterdam ArenA

Amsterdam ArenA opened in 1996 and was Ajax's first purpose-built modern stadium, replacing De Meer Stadion where the club had played for decades. It has a capacity of approximately 55,000 and is one of the larger club stadiums in the Netherlands. The roof is retractable, which is fairly unusual for a football stadium and means matches go ahead regardless of weather. The design is compact and steep, which helps with the atmosphere — the upper tiers are close to the pitch. The stadium is also used for concerts and other large events, which means the infrastructure around it is well set up for big crowds. In 2018 it was renamed Johan Cruijff ArenA in honour of the club's most iconic player. The south stand is traditionally the home of the most vocal Ajax supporters. European nights here have a distinct feel, particularly in knockout rounds when the stadium is full.

Package trip or tickets

Whether a package trip to Ajax makes sense depends mostly on how much you want to organise yourself. If you're coming from abroad and need a hotel anyway, a travel package that bundles accommodation and the match ticket together can be a practical option — you sort everything in one place and know what you're getting. If you're already in Amsterdam or have accommodation sorted, a standalone ticket might be all you need. The sellers on this site offer both, and comparing them side by side shows the difference in what's included. Some travel packages cover multiple nights, which gives you time to see the city properly rather than rushing in and out for the match. Others are more minimal — essentially a ticket with a one-night hotel nearby. Read the details on each seller's page before booking, since the price difference between packages often reflects what's actually included rather than just margin.

Ajax's rivalries

Ajax's most significant rivalry is with Feyenoord, known as De Klassieker — the fixture between Amsterdam and Rotterdam that divides the Netherlands. It's one of the most talked-about matches in Dutch football and tickets are hard to come by. The rivalry with PSV is also fierce, with both clubs competing regularly for the Eredivisie title and European spots. Matches against PSV tend to be tightly contested and are among the season's highlights for both sets of supporters. There's also a long-standing tension with Utrecht, though that rivalry is less prominent at the top level. In European competition, Ajax have had memorable encounters with clubs like Real Madrid and Juventus over the years, which have added an international dimension to the club's rivalry history. Home games against any of these sides are worth planning around if you can.

History and great players

Ajax were founded in 1900 and are one of the most decorated clubs in European football, with multiple Eredivisie titles and three consecutive European Cup wins in the early 1970s. The club has a strong tradition of developing players through its academy, De Toekomst, and that philosophy has shaped Dutch football broadly. Johan Cruijff is the name most associated with the club — he came through the youth system and became one of the most influential players in football history. Later generations produced players like Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Patrick Kluivert. More recently, the 2018/19 Champions League run brought a new generation to global attention, with players like Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt catching the eye before moving to larger clubs. Dusan Tadic was a key figure during that period and stayed at the club longer than most. The academy continues to produce talent that regularly attracts interest from across Europe.

Other activities in Amsterdam

A football trip to Amsterdam gives you access to one of Europe's more walkable and compact city centres. The canal ring (Grachtengordel) is the obvious starting point — the area around Jordaan is good for cafés and smaller restaurants without the tourist crowds of the main streets. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum are both in the Museumplein area and worth a visit if culture is on the agenda. The Heineken Experience near the Stadhouderskade is popular with football travellers. For food, Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein have plenty of options at different price points, though the streets immediately around them can be overpriced — a few blocks in and the quality improves. De Pijp neighbourhood is good for a more local feel, with the Albert Cuyp market running most mornings. Amsterdam is also very easy to navigate by rented bike, which is a practical way to cover more ground between the match and sightseeing.
