Bret: door tickets when everything else is gone

This container club right at Sloterdijk station sometimes still has door tickets when everything else is sold out. Worth a look for a spontaneous night.

Keep your cup

Carry your cup back to the bar for every round. The first cup costs €1, and coming back without it adds €1 to your next drink.

Come in fours

Arrive in a group of four or fewer and know who is playing. The door asks about the event and can turn away bigger groups.

Resale through BRET only

Hunting a sold out night? Use the Resale button on the event in BRET's own ticket shop and set an email alert. That is the only resale route BRET uses.
