ID, age limits, card-only venues, phone rules and dress codes at ADE 2026 venues in Amsterdam.
A ticket gets you to the door, not through it. This guide collects what NightFind knows about ID, age limits, payment, phones and dress at venues hosting ADE 2026 events (21 to 25 October).
See the ADE 2026 guide for the full week.

It depends. Shelter has a no-phones policy on the dancefloor. Photo policies vary by event and organiser.
Paradiso is card only. Melkweg has lockers at €4 to €7.50, and Escape has a mandatory cloakroom. Check each venue page.
NightFind has no verified dress code for the ADE venues, and most event listings do not state one. Check the event page. In Amsterdam, Jimmy Woo is a stricter door (21+, dress to impress, no football shirts), but it is not part of the ADE listings above.
