STMPD 10 Years,
chauffeured.
A label anniversary filling AFAS Live. A label birthday at AFAS Live means a bill deep enough that people arrive at the start rather than drifting in for the headliner, and a full house from early in the evening.
Thursday 22 October, at the AFAS Live.
The night the week finds its level. Long sets, the first of the big warehouse programmes, and a schedule that starts to run past the last metro.
A label birthday at AFAS Live means a bill deep enough that people arrive at the start rather than drifting in for the headliner, and a full house from early in the evening.
AFAS Live shares ArenAPoort with the Ziggo Dome and the ArenA, so on a busy week the square outside is handling three audiences at once. Which side the car can reach depends on what else is running that night — a question your chauffeur asks before he sets off, not when he arrives.
From the centre it is the A10 to the S112, twenty minutes when the ring is behaving. From Schiphol the A9 and the A2 come in from the south in about half an hour, and from the hotels in Zuid it is barely fifteen.
Three venues emptying into one square is the reason people wait forty minutes for a car in Zuidoost. Yours is already parked and briefed on which side of the pedestrian area it can reach tonight.
ArenAPoort, Amsterdam-Zuidoost.
AFAS Live is the third of the ArenAPoort rooms, a few hundred metres from the Ziggo Dome. From the centre it is the A10 to the S112; from Schiphol the A9 to the A2.
We set down on the side nearest the entrance, before the pedestrian area that fills up in the last half hour before doors. After the show the same pedestrian flow decides where the car can wait, and dispatch tells you which side to walk to.

Yes, and on this night it is the sensible way to do it. Three venues emptying into one square is the reason people wait forty minutes for a car in Zuidoost. Yours is already parked and briefed on which side of the pedestrian area it can reach tonight. Book the return at the same time as the outward ride, or keep one car and chauffeur for the whole night by the hour, from €65 an hour in Business Class with a two-hour minimum.
Schiphol to any address in Amsterdam is a fixed €90 in Business Class, €125 in the seven-seat Van Class and €140 in First Class — taxes included, per car, with the flight tracked and a chauffeur waiting inside the arrivals hall. Going back to Schiphol the fixed prices are €80, €85 and €90.
The Van Class takes up to seven passengers and seven bags in one car, with captain chairs and walk-in headroom. For a larger party dispatch stages several cars to arrive together at AFAS Live, with one contact for the whole group rather than a separate booking per car.
Message dispatch on WhatsApp and the pickup time moves. It is one number, answered around the clock in English, and once a chauffeur is assigned you have his line too. There is no surge pricing at four in the morning — the fare was agreed when you booked.
