- 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Defqon.1 Weekend Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
- 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
- 3Reserve 5 nights rather than 4: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
- 4If you fly into Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, check the transfer time to Biddinghuizen before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
