children to theatre for free

Children up to and including 12 years old can come along for free

At Maaspoort, (family) performances are free for all children up to and including the age of 12. We aim to promote a cheerful, positive message and keep theatre accessible – despite ever-rising prices. You’re warmly invited! Please note: always book your (free) tickets (and therefore your seats) in advance to avoid finding there’s no space in the auditorium.

How do you book free tickets for a (family) performance?

• For a performance in the‘family’ category , when booking, first select the total number of tickets (and choose your seats in the auditorium if required). Then divide the number of tickets across the different ticket price categories (standard rate, child rate or free). If you select the child rate, you’ll pay for the child’s ticket. We think that’s brilliant, as 100% of the amount goes directly to the youth fund, so you’re making another child happy. See also: the ‘Goed voor elkaar’ youth fund . 
• Would you like to take your (grand)child to a performance in a genre other than ‘family’? That’ is also possible*! Tickets for a child can then be booked for free using the discount code KINDGRATIS (online, you can book a maximum of 1 child for free using this code; if you’d like to bring more children to a non-family show, please contact the theatre box office at info@maaspoort.nl). Please note that non-family shows last longer and are usually scheduled in the evening. Some shows are not suitable for children; the age recommendation will be stated on the relevant page.

Terms and conditions

• Please note: always book (free) tickets (and therefore seats) to ensure there is space in the auditorium.
• There is no maximum number of children per paying adult, but we do, of course, ask for adequate supervision (at least one adult).
• The free admission rate applies only to children aged 12 and under; tickets will be checked on entry.
• The free admission rate does not apply to performances in the following genres: ‘From the Region’, ‘Events’ and ‘Education’, nor to performances at external venues such as De Doolhof (it does apply to professional performances at Domani). In addition, a number of performances are excluded as they are unsuitable for children due to their content or safety concerns. These include: dinner shows, standing concerts, certain comedians such as Theo Maassen, and the ‘Moord in Maaspoort’ series.
