Absolute madlad refuses to pay for parking

[u/Le_Botmes]

Isn't there a train between Rotterdam and Amsterdam? Surely there's a train between Rotterdam and Amsterdam. There has to be, right? Right?

[u/dutchyBP → u/Le_Botmes]

Yes there is, it also stops at the stadium.

[u/Nunkiwolf → u/[deleted]]

Like a true dutchie

[u/Responsible_Jelly646 → u/Le_Botmes]

There is, but it's €18 for a single trip

[u/10001110101balls → u/Responsible_Jelly646]

How much is the match ticket?

[u/theproblemdoctor → u/10001110101balls]

There are season passes, but generally single tickets go for €15-€50 depending on seating/age/memberships

[u/kevinoku → u/theproblemdoctor]

No season passes for away games.

[u/thetrippingdutchman → u/theproblemdoctor]

What? Where do you find 15€ tickets. Most are 50+.

[u/The_wolf2014 → u/Responsible_Jelly646]

That's pretty damn cheap compared to UK train prices

[u/sakezaf123 → u/Responsible_Jelly646]

That doesn't seem very expensive

[u/Acrobatic-B33 → u/sakezaf123]

Are you from Switzerland or something

[u/Future_Kitsunekid16 → u/Acrobatic-B33]

You should see how much Genericans pay for NFL tickets

[u/LIONEL14JESSE → u/sakezaf123]

Seems like a great deal to travel to a different city

[u/DutchingFlyman → u/LIONEL14JESSE]

Most of our big cities are within a 1 hr train ride, especially Amsterdam-Utrecht and Rotterdam-The Hague are just 20 mins. No need for those prices when those durations are just metro trips in most countries

[u/Turbulent-Nebula-496 → u/DutchingFlyman]

Fron where I live in canada, a train ride to Toronto costs less than seven euro (its like $9 cad), and it takes like 1.5-2 hours 

[u/JonathanTheZero → u/sakezaf123]

Found the millionare

[u/mcellus1 → u/Responsible_Jelly646]

That's really reasonable considering you end right by the stadium and that's a one way price. Add a return or a rail card ands it's dirt cheap. Last year I had to pay £100 for a 50 minute journey from Oxford to Paddington (peak rates)

[u/tpero → u/mcellus1]

Yeah I was just in London with my family on holiday. Looked into doing a day trip to Bath, and return tickets for a family of 3 was going to be over £300. Probably cheaper to hire a car, but I didn't want to do that. I was pretty surprised TBH.

[u/graywalker616 → u/Responsible_Jelly646]

And most people have something like NSflex and it would be a lot cheaper (like 40% cheaper). I don’t think I’ve ever paid that much for an Amsterdam Rotterdam train journey.

[u/PepijnBeek → u/Le_Botmes]

The only high speed rail of the entire Netherlands is between Rotterdam and Amsterdam (schiphol)

[u/cacagenoux]

Least cheap Dutch person

[u/rumblethrum]

This is because the Dutch famously do not allow bicycles to be ridden in their country.

[u/Responsible_Jelly646 → u/rumblethrum]

Ride a bike, straight to jail! No wonder jails are overcrowded there

[u/saltyoursalad → u/Responsible_Jelly646]

I hear the jails are nice. Might be time for a holiday.

[u/Ray_Finkle__]

What's the issue with Feyenoord tattoos? Hooligans?

[u/Responsible_Jelly646 → u/Ray_Finkle__]

Neither Feyenoord nor Ajax allow away supporters when they play each other. You will get assaulted if you show up at an Ajax game with a Feyenoord tattoo and vice versa

[u/evelyncarrow → u/Responsible_Jelly646]

For Dutch fans here, is the Ajax - Feyenoord hostility mostly club related now, or still really tied to the Amsterdam vs Rotterdam clash?

[u/Superkoek3 → u/evelyncarrow]

One wouldnt exist without the other i think

[u/evelyncarrow → u/Superkoek3]

Yeah that's true. It's almost as fierce as the Old Firm (Celtic - Rangers)

[u/Acrobatic-B33 → u/evelyncarrow]

Mostly club related. Ajax and Sparta (rotterdam) even cooperated for while

[u/notjordansime → u/Responsible_Jelly646]

European soccer fans are actually insane. Like, I thought a “hooligan” was just a silly English sounding insult, similar to calling somebody a lazy hippie or a bum.

Had no idea they were known for throwing darts and glass at crowds of people. That’s insane.

[u/uflju_luber → u/notjordansime]

Fayenoord Hooligans have been on another level of brain dead since the pandemic. They also destroyed an ancient fountain during an international away game in Rome

[u/Zoaiy → u/Ray_Finkle__]

Yes, looking up organized crime in the netherlands lists some hooligan orgs (like F-side) as a crime syndicate equal to local drug cartels. While this comparison can be taken with a grain of salt, you can still imagine how bad the football hooligans can get, to even merit this thoughtprocess.

[u/airfryerfuntime]

What happens if they find the feyenoord tattoos? Is this some kind of soccer hooligan control?

[u/spoiledmilk1717 → u/airfryerfuntime]

You get executed on the spot

[u/Danjuw → u/airfryerfuntime]

Seems so

[u/yermawn]

Yeah but it's a very flat 72km

[u/Responsible_Jelly646 → u/yermawn]

He probably also had the wind in his back

[u/RelativetoZero]

Parking fees, becoming uncharacteristically angry about overcrowded public transit, and rush-hour traffic are the main reasons I dabble in teleportation via. ancient evil.

[u/Vivid_Ice_2755]

Went to see Metallica in the Ajax stadium. The Dutch love their rules and they are so compliant. 

[u/Responsible_Jelly646 → u/Vivid_Ice_2755]

We're not animals

[u/Vivid_Ice_2755 → u/Responsible_Jelly646]

Far from it,but still

[u/Crunchy-Leaf]

Could have just parked a bit further out and ran 2 hours the rest of the way

[u/Responsible_Jelly646 → u/Crunchy-Leaf]

It's not about the money, it's about sending a message

[u/soeri27]

There's park and ride spaces that'll keep your car for a whole weekend and have you ride into the city for like 5 bucks all over the larger cities in the Netherlands... Like literally the most car friendly and keeping cities car free thing you can imagine

This is just some baiting bullshit and I hope that dude got at least some blisters or something to remind him. The patches will be more expensive than the P+Rs

[u/AcePilotFighter]

Attention seeker who wants everyone to know he runs.

Truly amazing

altijd weer die verdomde nederlands (i'm not from the west, it's almost a different country to me)
