GENERAL

Where is Left of the Dial?
The festival takes place at various venues in the center of Rotterdam. If you're looking for a hotel, or if you're planning your trip, it's best to keep Eendrachtsplein as central point.

At what time does Left of the Dial start?
On Thursday the festival starts at 7pm, on Friday and Saturday at 4pm. The venues will open their doors 15 minutes prior to the first show of the day. On Friday and Saturday there will be several activities during the day as well, including Bands on a Boat, lots of Extra Extras and The Official Unofficial. All shows will end no later that 1am, at the afterparties you can dance the night away until 4am.

When can I exchange my ticket for a wristband?
You can exchange your ticket for a wristband at the service desk at Eendrachtsplein:
Thursday 17.00 - 22.00h
Friday 15.00 - 21.00h
Saturday 15.00 - 21.00h
Usually, the longest queue is Thursday between 18.00 and 19.00h, so if there's an early show you definitely don't want miss, come early!

How to get to the festival?
The service desk
is about a 10-minute walk from Rotterdam Central Station. You can also catch tram lines 4, 6 or 8 which all stop at Eendrachtsplein.

We do not recommend coming to Rotterdam by car. The city is busy and parking is expensive. Do you really absolutely need to travel by car? Look here for the different parking options.

Is Left of the Dial wheelchair accessible?
You can get in with your wheelchair without any problems at most venues, but there are a few locations that are less accessible due to stairs, or where the special elevator is fairly hidden. Check the Venues page for more info. Do you suspect that might make your visit to Left of the Dial difficult? Mail us and we'll make sure someone is waiting for you to help!

Are there any age restrictions?
There are no age restrictions for the shows, for the afterparties you must be 18 years or older.

Do you have lockers to store my luggage?
Unfortunately, we don’t have any facilities to store your luggage at the festival as we need every square inch to accommodate our bands and their gear. If you need to store your luggage, we recommend doing so at Central Station.

TICKETS

My printer is broken! Is my life over now?
No problem, if you have your ticket on your phone, we can just scan it. Set the screen to maximum brightness, and you’ll be scanned and on your way in no time!

I lost my ticket, can you help me?
Don’t worry, you're not the first with that problem! Just send us an email and we will help you as soon as humanly possible.

Does a group ticket mean you all have to enter the festival at the same time?
No, if you purchase a group ticket you'll receive a PDF file with 6 seperate tickets, so everyone can come and go as they please!

I have a spare ticket, how do I sell it?
If you want to resell your ticket, we strongly advice using Ticketswap.

Is it safe to buy a Left of the Dial ticket on Ticketswap?
Yes! If you see the sold out sign on our website, you can always check Ticketswap to see if someone is re-selling their ticket. Ticketswap uses Secure Swap which invalidates a seller's old ticket and sends a brand new ticket to the buyer. Moreover, you are assured of a fair price. Please only purchase tickets through this website, or Ticketswap, so you’re 100% sure you’re buying a valid ticket.

FOOD AND BEVERAGES

How do I pay for my drinks/food?
You can pay for your drinks everywhere with pin, and almost all venues also accept cash. Each location has its own prices and payment method.

Can I take my drink from one location to another?
No, you are not allowed on the street with glass/plastic cups. Drink up first, then hit the streets!

Where can I eat during Left of the Dial?
There are a lot of restaurants in the center of Rotterdam, but you better eat with us! Check out Dine Like A Star for more information.
