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.
Where can I find the VAT invoice / payment receipt for my order?
If you can no longer find the confirmation email or your tickets, contact the Werkman Spring Games team. We can look up your booking and resend the confirmation and tickets. Please include the name and e-mail address used for the order.
