where is that? (please don't say Amsterdam :) ) EDIT: I think I have been whooshed about the blue parrot meme on here.

I have an anonymous ov-chip card (like an oyster card), this is going to get you the prices everyone pays (if you pay for individual tickets it costs more), however there is a 7.50 up front cost. you can pick these up from the ticket machines or the NS (train) service desks at the airport. You...

the football showing bars I have suggested so far, cater to the debonair out-of-towners much like ourselves (i.e. mostly Irish bars).

I have a ticket (home end) for Ajax, but then traveling for me is 45 mins on the train. I am however traveling to Greece for the game without a ticket or the hope of one, just to soak up atmosphere, on the exact same premise of I can think of a lot worse places to spend a few days.

and after your cultural enrichment, you would be just a short walk under the train tracks to some very nice bars in the Westerpark, including the Troost Brewery. (though I prefer Pacific, but it's more of a summer bar for me - not footbally though).

the green metal ones from 100 years ago (or at least it seems that way) are still spotted around the city. but they are getting out numbered by these grey portable ones that don't protect any dignity. ... but as you are talking about geiger counter street (my brother named it that after the tap...

red light and watching football, I'll pop to Susies saloon (not for the clean toilets aficionados we have on this thread) not really a football bar, but often has the football on a couple of screens. just off the RLD when I was very young I would watch football at Durty Nelly's which apparently...

There is a caveat to "Amsterdam is small", Zuidoost and Noord are a bit of a pain. Luckily there is pretty good Public Transport.

yeah, but i'm not sure it's a coffee shop any more, think it's now a bar/restaurant. (haven't been there since student days)

Bear in mind, Amsterdam is small so lots of places are close. at the Ibis you are 10 mins walk to O'Donnels on Marie Heinekenplein, 15 to Rembrantplein, 20 to Leidseplein, and all of those become a lot shorter when you factor in trams. You're hotel is on the edge of de Pijp, which was a cool...

if you're near the Heineken Experience, O'Donnell's on Marie Heinekenplein shows the footie. I haven't been in years, but 20 years ago it was the place I'd go the most. (probably because I lived around the corner)

only go to satellite bar if I have gone to watch a game only to discover too late that the game is not being shown at the original bar I was heading to. (which, usually if I am on Leidseplein is Dan Murphys, or on Max Euwerplein is the Arun). My friends enjoy the ribs at satellite bar, as a...

on Rembrantsplein I have fun in Coco's, it is usually bouncing, lots of screens. (aussie bar, so if the rugby is on the footie gets relegated). three sisters has football, but usually a lot quieter.

I watched the Marseille game in o'reilly's which is just off Dam Square. not my favourite, but it is a typical for an Irish bar in a tourist location, so lots of telly's, and caters mostly for British football (and rugby). spacious. Oddly when I was there there were some Ajax fans, who...

it is highly likely that my knowledge of things in the world stopped updating a decade or more ago

I bought a ticket after the draw. I got the app once I realised I needed it. it appears in my app ok. not sure if it is an issue for other people, but (as mentioned on another thread) I have a dutch driving licence that I used to identify myself in the app. And I bought the ticket on...
