De Grolsch Veste, situated at the eastern edge of Enschede in the province of Overijssel, is more than just a football stadium; it is a modern shrine to sport and culture. Since its opening in 2000, De Grolsch Veste has combined contemporary architectural ambition with the practical necessities of a performance venue. Sound, light, and human energy combine to make every event at De Grolsch Veste a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The wonderful acoustics of De Grolsch Veste have attracted many artists and bands to perform there. The stadium's design was intended to diffuse sound evenly across the over 30,000 seats, allowing performances to project clearly whether the audience is close to the stage or in the higher tiers. This dual role as both a performance space and a sports arena has made it a sought-after venue for large-name concerts as well as high-profile football fixtures.

100% Authentic Tickets with Buyer Protection

Purchasing through a secure platform is essential to avoid the stress of missing an event or receiving invalid tickets. Ticombo's association with the stadium's main ticket distributor and its established resale infrastructure reduce the risk of phony or double-sold tickets. The platform's processes are designed to make ticket delivery reliable — whether delivered digitally, in-hand, or arranged for collection at the gate — so fans can focus on the experience instead of logistics.

About De Grolsch Veste

De Grolsch Veste History

Inaugurated in 2000, De Grolsch Veste was a significant addition not only to the city of Enschede but also to Dutch football infrastructure. Located near the A1 highway and only a few kilometres from the German border, the stadium quickly became a modern home for FC Twente after the club moved from a much smaller venue. Subsequent interior updates — most notably those around 2008 — focused on seat design and sightlines to enhance the matchday atmosphere that fans and the club hoped to achieve.

De Grolsch Veste Facts and Figures

The stadium is a roughly 30,000-seat arena arranged as four main stands: west, east, north, and south. Its placement near major roads and regional transport links makes it accessible for local and international visitors. On high-attendance days the venue uses adjacent parking facilities and coordinated shuttles to manage arrival and departure flows efficiently.

The four-part structure creates distinct atmospheres across the stadium: each stand offers different proximity to the action, sightlines, and acoustic experience, and the overall design aims to provide a consistent experience for large crowds.

De Grolsch Veste Seating Guide

Best seats at De Grolsch Veste

Each stand serves different preferences. The west side is home to the most passionate FC Twente supporters and offers proximity to the team dugout and bench. The east side typically houses visiting supporters and offers a good view but lacks the intensity found on the west. The north side provides a calmer environment suitable for families, while the south side is often praised for the clearest, most detailed sightlines over the playing surface.

When selecting a ticket, check the seat class description carefully — those labels indicate relative location, proximity to team areas, and the expected atmosphere for that section.

How to get to De Grolsch Veste

Parking at De Grolsch Veste

Train services connect Enschede with larger Dutch cities, and local bus routes and event shuttles provide final-mile links from transport hubs.
