❓ Why is there an entrance fee between 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM?

Attending Tulp Hoofdklasse matches is free year-round. During the playoffs, all participating clubs typically sell tickets for these top matches. The Women's 1st and Men's 1st teams have worked incredibly hard all season to reach the playoffs—the highlight of the year!

We expect a large turnout of supporters and fans for these semi-finals. To ensure everything runs safely, smoothly, and above all, festively, we are asking for a contribution in the form of an entrance fee during this time slot. This contribution will help cover additional costs such as security, organization, and creating a suitable atmosphere for these important matches.

The access regulations apply to all visitors and spectators, including those from other teams playing that day.

❓ What happens at the club besides the matches?

• 🎧 The men's 1st team will create a great atmosphere with a DJ before and after their match.
• 🍻 De bar is open en we maken er samen een feestelijke hockeymiddag van.
• 🎉 Come cheer on our teams and enjoy the atmosphere!

❓ Who can I contact if I have questions or problems?

Parking attendants will be present from 7:45 AM to ensure everything runs smoothly. Any questions? Email clubmanager@hcdenbosch.nl.
