I strongly advise travelers to avoid this company.
I purchased two tickets for the Van Gogh Museum through Amsterdam Tickets. Only after completing the purchase did I realize that this was not the museum’s official website. The tickets were also significantly more expensive than those available through the official museum channel.
After realizing this, I immediately contacted the company and requested cancellation. My request was denied, and I was informed that the tickets had already been issued and were valid for entry.
Before my visit, I contacted the company again and was reassured that the tickets were valid and could be used without any issue.
However, when we arrived at the Van Gogh Museum on the scheduled date and time, our tickets did not work. Museum staff called a supervisor to investigate, and the museum’s system showed the reservation status as “Geannuleerd” (Cancelled), with 0 active tickets and 2 cancelled tickets. As a result, we were refused entry and had to purchase new tickets directly from the museum in order to visit.
I provided Amsterdam Tickets with photographic evidence from the museum’s system, copies of the replacement tickets, and proof of payment. Despite this, the company refused to issue a refund and failed to provide any explanation as to why the museum’s own system showed the tickets as cancelled.
The most concerning aspect of this experience was not only being denied entry, but also the company’s inability or unwillingness to explain why tickets sold as valid were displayed as cancelled by the museum itself.
Travelers should be aware that this is not the official Van Gogh Museum website and that ticket prices may be substantially higher than those charged through the museum’s official sales channels.
This experience caused unnecessary stress, additional expense, and significant disruption to our trip. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.
