No, unfortunately it’s not possible to buy individual tickets for the Klokgebouw, Microlab Hall, Graduation Show - Design Academy Eindhoven, Van Abbemuseum, Evoluon - DDW expo, TAC or Sectie-C. It is however possible to buy a day ticket for certain locations / expo’s: Kazerne (€5,-), Dutch Invertuals (€5,-), New Order of Fashion Lab (€2,50,-) or Philips Museum (€11,-).

The DDW-ticket actually has the price of a day ticket. But there’s so much to see! We believe you cannot visit DDW in just one day. That’s why we offer visitors the chance to come as many days as they like. As long as you keep your wristband on, you can enjoy DDW 9 days long for the price of a day ticket.

Yes, a National Railways (NS) combi ticket is available again this year. Are you visiting DDW and coming by train? You can purchase your combi ticket at the NS Spoordeelwinkel.

You can exchange the DDW ticket for a personal wristband or buy one at the door. This is possible at the following locations:

It is not possible to collect a wristband for someone else. The wristband is valid as soon as it is on your wrist and gives you access to DDW from Saturday 22 to Sunday 30 October. Once a wristband is removed, it is no longer valid.

Wristband sales at the door
Wristbands can also be purchased at the door at the above locations. You can only pay with a credit card or pin, cash is not accepted.

Opening hours vary by location. Most locations are open daily from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Check ddw.nl or the map for opening times per location. At Sectie-C, the exhibitions and studios are open longer every day, until 7.00 p.m. On the last Sunday, Section-C closes at 6pm. The Graduation show by Design Academy Eindhoven opens on the first Saturday at 1.00 p.m.

No, we do not offer discounts for people over 65, Museumkaart holders or We Are Public card holders. Discounts are only available for students and children aged 12 to 17. Do you have a CJP pass? Then you can buy a DDW ticket for the CJP rate via the CJP website.

After purchasing the ticket, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to download your own VAT invoice.

Yes, most venues during DDW are accessible to visitors in wheelchairs. On the website, you can see in the programme whether the venue is accessible. This is in the information column on the right-hand side of the page.

Every visitor in a wheelchair with a valid DDW ticket may pick up a free DDW wristband for one companion. You can only pick these up at the ticket counters in the Klokgebouw, Microlab Hall, Sectie-C, Eindhoven Central Station, Graduation Show Design Academy and the Van Abbemuseum. Wristbands for companions cannot be bought online.

DDW family tickets (€ 57,50) are only available at the door. They are valid for a maximum of five people, of which a maximum of two are adults. The wristband is personal: for a family ticket all persons must be present at the ticket desk at the same time.

Children up to and including 11 years old can visit DDW for free.

Wristbands that companies or schools ordered by invoice can be collected from the DDW office, unless otherwise agreed. The address is: Torenallee 22-08. Schools that have agreed to collect the wristbands at the pick-up point in the Klokgebouw can go there.

No, there are no tickets for individual tours available this year. This is something we would like to reintroduce in the future. At this time, there are only business tours available. Check ddw.nl/en/tours for information on corporate tours.

A personal pass may be available to you if you meet the following criteria:

Due to a severe reason (e.g. your profession or hospitalization) you cannot keep your DDW wristband on for several days? You can then request a personal pass from DDW. This can be done at the service desk of the Klokgebouw and Centraal Station - Ticketverkooppunt. Passes are personal and replace wristbands once issued. As creating a personal pass is an expensive and time-consuming process, we charge a fee of €1.00 per pass as an exception to the regular ticket system.

Please note you can only create a personal pass while wearing your wristband. For this reason, you must first exchange your e-ticket or purchase a wristband at the box office before we can create a pass for you. As a result, please request your pass as soon as possible after receiving your wristband. If the wristband is cut, it loses its validity and cannot be replaced. Let the service person cut the wristband for you.

We are unable to accommodate all requests to exchange wristbands for passes. Decisions made by service members are final.

You can ask questions about the ticket here.
