Yes, a TA meetup would be great! When does Sensation White normally get crowded? I read that last year it was only 1/3 full until late in the evening when more Trance music was playing?

I would even be up for meeting some TA's near Centraal Station and taking the Subway over together to the Arena. I've never been to this area before, and wonder how scary it will be walking alone late at night from the station stop to the Arena? The Sports Arena in LA is not in the best area of the City and I'd never want to walk there! Maybe there's a treintaxi that goes from the station stop to the Arena? Any advice from locals would be appreciated!

Not scary at all dude.

If you go to bijlmer station its only a 2 minute walk. if you go to duivendrecht station it is about 15 minutes. Remeber there are a lot of party people going to the arena so you don't have to worry. But still you are in amsterdam so don't wave your cellphone/ipod/wallet around. just relax and walk to the venue.

i don;t know how late it is gonna be busy. but my advice is come early. no lines, you will be inside in no-time. it is easier to get drinks, have a chat and slowly see the arena filling up.

hehe well the dvd's are very good edited marketing things. so don't think it will be like the dvd's all night.

Arriving between 22:00 and 23:00hr means waiting in line for at least half an hour

ok, thanks for the info. So exit at the Bijlmer station and follow the people in white (unless they are wearing straightjackets, then follow the other people in white )

Any idea what time the arena opens? My tickets say "limited lockers available" so would you recommend bringing a coat/umbrella or do the lockers usually fill up right away? There aren't any places here that hold this many people for a dance event, so this is why I have so many questions.

Oh, and sounds like the TA meetup should be inside the arena so we're not waiting outside watching the line grow?

If you don't see the arena when you exit bijlmer station you must be blind or taking the wrong exit

The entrance you have to take is on your ticket. (Not 100% about that, Never been to sensation and never will) But anyway it is a big stadium with several entrances so take a good look where you have to be.

The lockers are called LOCKERBOX. But if the weather has been good all day you don't need an coat or umbrella. If it rains you better take a coat since umbrella's are hard to put in a locker. Or just buy a 3 euro umbrella beforehand in a supermarket take it with you and throw it away right for the entrance.

That is a horrible lineup apart from Ferry who is the only one belonging on that list. True Sensation white isn't only about the dj but come on, what is there to enjoy on that list?? I went to Sensation White in Antwerp this w-e and half of it was total crap. Thank god for M.I.K.E. playing an AMAZING set otherwise that might have been the worst party i ever been to

Sensation isn't about the dj's or the music. It is about the show and the experience. People saying sensation is a trance party are stupid, sensation never was and never will be a trance party. Only the most popular styles are presented. In holland this is at the moment groovy house, club and progressive.

i totally agree with basvh. Sensation is about the show & the whole experience. it is NOT about DJ lineup. This year its pretty weak as in comparison to previous years...

still... its a SENSATION!

Well apart from the fact that I'm unable to attend to Sensation this year (as every year since ) I'm a little bit in awe about that lineup - in a negative sense.

It will be a big party without doubt, but I'm puzzled by the choice of DJs. Ferry and Sander are absolutely ok in my book, but Guetta was already cruelsome last year - had a good start with "The world is mine" but his strange breaks and playing vanilla 80s tunes wasn't exactly my taste.

Although Sensation 2004 wasn't completely House-free it was a good experience on the whole, which is in my book way more important than one or two DJs not being my favorites. If the "vibe" is alright, everything else falls into place.

i love it.
