SC Cambuur is gearing up for a crucial promotion/relegation playoff as they prepare to face FC Den Bosch on Monday, May 12, 2025, at 20:00 in Stadion De Vliert. This match marks the beginning of a tense playoff series where every goal counts and every point is critical.
As the playoffs commence, Cambuur enters the fray as the highest-ranked club from the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, following a strong finish to the season. Their last match saw them secure a narrow 1-0 victory over MVV, thanks to a well-placed goal from Tony Rölke, which solidified their position in the playoff standings.
Meanwhile, FC Den Bosch, who qualified for the playoffs by clinching the first period title, will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage. The stakes are high, and the atmosphere is expected to be electric as fans from both sides rally behind their teams.
In preparation for this pivotal clash, SC Cambuur has made arrangements for their supporters to attend the match. A total of 450 tickets are available, and the ticket sales have been structured in multiple rounds to accommodate fans based on their loyalty points. The first sales round began on Friday, May 9, requiring at least 25 loyalty points, with subsequent rounds offering tickets to fans with fewer points.
Supporters planning to travel to Den Bosch have two transport options: the bus combi and the pendelcombi. The bus combi, priced at €35 (or €30 for KVC members), requires fans to arrive at Cambuurplein by 16:15, with buses departing at 16:30 from the old Cambuur Stadion. On the other hand, the pendelcombi costs €17.50 (or €12.50 for KVC members) and requires fans to be at Bisde (Beesd, A2) by 18:25, with departure set for 18:40.
In a twist, supporters are allowed to bring a maximum of three cans of beer on the bus journey, adding to the festive atmosphere expected among the traveling fans. However, minors must be accompanied by an adult supporter aged 21 or older.
The ticket sales will remain open until Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 23:59 or until the tickets are sold out. It is important to note that an away card ('uitkaart') is mandatory for all attendees, and fans are encouraged to ensure they have their cards ready before travel.
