What’s included
More than a ticket.
Your event experience is included.
Exact inclusions depend on the ticket type selected. The booking flow always shows the current 2027 package details before payment.
International business visitors: Dutch VAT is charged because the event takes place in the Netherlands. Foreign businesses may be eligible to reclaim Dutch VAT under the applicable VAT-refund rules. EU businesses normally submit the refund request through the tax authority in their country of establishment. Eligibility depends on your business and tax situation; please check with your own tax authority or adviser.
Ticket questions
Know before you book.
The most important 2027 ticket questions, answered in one place.
What is included in a complete / full-event ticket?
A complete ticket includes 9 drink tokens, 1 dinner and 1 lunch, in addition to the access stated for that ticket type. Always check the 2027 booking description before payment, because competition, lecture and guest access can differ.
What is included in a day ticket?
A day ticket includes 3 drinks and 1 lunch, together with the access stated for that ticket. The booking flow shows the exact 2027 package before payment.
How is the final ticket price calculated?
We start with the base price excluding VAT, add 21% Dutch VAT, then add the €1.00 service fee, followed by the 1.8% booking fee. The ticket page shows the expected checkout total so you can see the full cost in advance.
What is the new Legend Class?
The Legend Class is new for 2027 and was added by special request. It is open to competitors aged 55 and over. The regular price is the same as Open and Intermediate: €549 excl. VAT. The class requires a minimum of 10 confirmed competitors; with fewer than 10 entries, it will not be held.
What is a Partner ticket?
The 2027 Partner ticket costs €149.00 excl. VAT / €180.29 incl. VAT / €184.55 expected checkout total. It is intended for an accompanying guest and is not a professional competition or lecture ticket. Check the booking description for the exact access and inclusions.
Why is Dutch VAT charged?
The event takes place in the Netherlands, so 21% Dutch VAT is charged on the tickets.
Can international visitors reclaim Dutch VAT?
Foreign business visitors may be eligible to reclaim Dutch VAT under the applicable VAT-refund rules. EU businesses normally submit a refund request through the tax authority in their country of establishment. Eligibility depends on the business and tax situation, so check with your own tax authority or adviser.
Are there preferred hotels for Spring Games 2027?
Yes. We are planning to use Van der Valk Groningen–Hoogkerk and Flonk Hotel Groningen Zuid as our preferred hotels. A special Spring Games hotel rate is planned; the booking code will follow as soon as confirmed. Planned hotel-to-event transport is also expected to operate only from these two hotels.
