Thanks for the brilliant link! I've just spent an hour (omg!) playing round with this

about the last train...they advice people to arrange a bus or whatever since indeed there will be no trains anymore. in Dutch they say:
"U2 heeft aangegeven de normale eindtijd van 23.00 uur te vroeg te vinden en gaat dus langer door dan andere bands in de ArenA. Regel eenvoudig je vervoer van en naar de Amsterdam ArenA met het georganiseerde touringcar vervoer van TripTicket. Houd deze pagina in de gaten voor meer vervoersinformatie."
getting fined 50k is nothing for these bands, its only revenue from a few thousand seats - almost worth playing on for
the major problem is transprot after the gig - also you end up with people leaving early if it goes on too late, which is never good of course
nothing you can do about the sunset times, so might as well enjoy! I cant remember what time the start was for slane 1, but i dont remember the daylight being a factor
What?!?! Is the last train from Amsterdam Arena at 23:00?? Do they not put on later train services for large events? Where do we find more info about the "organised bus transport"?? For the Vertigo shows I remember there were trains running after the show.... Have they changed things since then? What is Trip Ticket?
Thanx
No it says U2 will stop playing later than 23 (normal ending of popconcert in Adam Arena). The last train goes at 00:17. But you will not come far since there are no night trains on monday/tuesday. It is possible that the Dutch railroads will arrange extra trains. TripTicket organises bus transportU r welcome
the slane shows were in September or October (correct me if I'm wrong) and thus noticeably darker

Normally (correct me if I am wrong) the dutch railways provide extra trains towards amsterdam centralstation. from there you can get the nighttrain to the 4 major cities and schiphol airport

Tijd Station / Halte Spoor Richting Reisdetails
00:19 Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA 3 Amsterdam Centraal Stoptrein (NS)
00:33 Duivendrecht 1 Hilversum Stoptrein (NS)
00:48 Weesp 6 Lelystad Centrum Sprinter (NS)
i was at Slane 8/25/01, and it was twilight during the first 2 songs (just a small amount of light). nothing at all like the photos i've seen from the 2005 Vertigo show in Dublin, where it was REALLY bright out (almost looked like 5 pm here in the States!!). i would prefer for it to be pitch black, but once the music starts, i really won't care either way.
What? I didn't know thos.
I checked NS.nl and it told me there's a train leaving to Duivendrecht at 00.17 and then I can take the train towards Weesp, change on the train to Lelystad there. If there are no trains, then why does it tell me that?
what a day it was!! MY best concertexperience ever and it will be never be topped by anyone, anywhere
wasn't it so amazing?? i am heading back to Dublin this summer to see U2 on their home turf for a second time, but i know that it will be nothing like Slane. Gorgeous sunny day, seeing Coldplay (before they got huge!), Red Hot Chili Peppers telling people to swing their shirts around their heads like helicopters (and dedicating a song to the lone security guard on the hill), and then (of course) U2... Really just magical!
we seem to take the same road
25th of july Dublin city
it was,indeed, magical. a completely sunny day witht the castle like a postcar, my brother and I were able to get into the heart so to say. I will NEVER forget that night and it was the ony concert where i ever cried
Because of the honeymoon there is no money left for he US this time like he Vertigotour but I won't complain at all
awesome about dublin!! i think europe will be better for seeing stadium shows than the US-- the european crowds seem (to me) to be generally more enthusiastic about huge stadium shows. and congrats on getting married!
that train does indeed go to duivendrecht and from there you can ake that train you wanted. the trains stop around 01.00/01.30 in the netherlands with the exception (as I mentoined) of the nighttrains that go towards Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague and Schipol Airport where you an leave the amsterdam arena around 01.30. You WILL have plenty of time though s they will probably stop playing around 23:30 you still have 45 minutes to get to the station which is PLENTY of time. it is a 15 minute walk max

That's a relief!
BTW, how did U2 get home after the Vertigo shows at the Arena? Did they leave straight away? I understand there's a major road/motorway(?) running right by (if not into?) the Arena, so that would make for a very quick getaway..... Guess they wont be relying on Dutch Rail to get them home..
Depends on where you're going, I'm taking the 00.19 train, it's the last one to Duivendrecht.
If you need to go to Duivendrecht, you can also walk. That station is close to the ArenA.

I agree. We are not used to it.
I don't really care if it is daylight or not. I'll be there to enjoy the show.
Just close this ArenA roof for the first hour.
