General questions
Is there a cafe in Trix?
Definitely! The Cafe is the perfect place to meet each other for a pre-concert drink, to dance a little bit longer at several afterpartys and aftershows or just to hang around.

Can I grab something to eat in or nearby Trix?
The closest food facilities are headed at the Turnhoutstebaan, which is a 15 minute walk from Trix. You can find a foodtruck in our garden during festivals and sometimes during concerts. If so, this will be specified on the concert page and in the 'Plan Your Visit' mail.
I’d like to play a gig in Trix. Is there a possibility to contact your booking agent?
Would you like to play on one of our venues? Of course you would! The only way to contact our programmers is to send an e-mail to bookings@trixonline.be. Please introduce yourself very shortly and let us know what kind of music you make. Make sure to add a link of your music. If our programmers are interested, they will get in touch with you.

I lost some property in Trix. What should I do?
All items we find are stored in our café for a limited amount of time. Did you lose something? Please send an e-mail to info@trixonline.be with a description of your lost item or reach us via +32 (0)3 670 09 00.
Can I pay by card in Trix?
Yes, definitely! We try to work cashless as much as possible in Trix. Drinks can therefore mainly be paid for with your card. If you want to buy tickets at the box office in the evening, you can also pay for them with your bank or credit card.
If you would like to buy merch from your favorite band, it is best to bring enough cash. Sometimes bands also provide a cashless solution, but certainly not always. Unfortunately, there is no ATM in the immediate vicinity of Trix.
Do you offer ear protection in Trix?

The dimensions of our lockers (depth x width x height; in cm) are:

Questions about tickets
The concert is sold out. What can I do?
When a concert is sold out in presale, we will mention this on our website. In that case, there will be no more tickets for sale at the box office. You can then register on a waiting list to be kept informed if extra tickets are sold through us. You can also safely resell or buy tickets through our partner TicketSwap. Because we have an integrated partnership with them (SecureSwap), the new buyer's details appear on the ticket (instead of the original buyer's). We strongly recommend not to purchase tickets through other channels (social media, eBay, secondary ticketing platforms, ...). These tickets can be counterfeit or overpriced.
Concerts can sell out at the box office too. Due to safety reasons, we will not allow more visitors than de maximum capacity of the venue. If you want to be sure that you can attend the concert, we strongly advise you to buy your ticket in advance.
The concert is cancelled. How do I get my money back?
When a concert is cancelled, we immediately send an email to all ticket buyers and the full amount of the purchased tickets is automatically refunded (including booking fees). Anyone who purchased a ticket through another point of sale (e.g. via the band's website) must contact that point of sale for a refund.
I have lost my tickets. What now?
Don't panic. Send an email to tickets@trixonline.be at least two working days in advance, mentioning the name and email address of the person who ordered the tickets, and we will resend them. The day before the concert, you will also receive a detailed 'Plan Your Visit' email with practical information about the concert evening, including a link to your ticket(s). Should you be unable to find your tickets on the day of the concert, please come to the box office and we will return them to you there.
I can no longer come to the concert. Can I cancel my tickets?
Tickets cannot be cancelled or refunded. However, you can offer your tickets for sale again via the online platform TicketSwap. Because we have an integrated partnership with them (SecureSwap), the new buyer's details will appear on the ticket (instead of your details).
Can I record a demo or a whole album at Trix?

Where can I find the schedule for a concert?
The exact timing of a concert evening will be posted on the concert page of this website no later than 12:00 on the day of the concert. All ticket buyers will also receive a detailed 'Plan Your Visit' email one day before the event containing practical information and, among other things, the schedule for the concert evening.
For concerts, the doors of the concert hall usually open at 19:00 or 19:30, but this may be deviated from in exceptional cases (for a larger line-up with more bands). In most cases, the concerts end no later than 22:30, so that returning home by public transport is possible.
