Be prepared for a 3 hour or so journey. I know it'll be easy meat for you but over here it's really a cross country journey...

INDEED!!!!
The easiest way would be if you could get a ride but I don't think there will be many people going from Den Bosch to the Drachten concert...
So it will have to be train and busses.
Calculating with an arrival between 17.00 and 17.30, here's the route:
Take the 13.38 train to Utrecht/Schiphol (leaving from platform 3) and get off at Utrecht station.
Transfer to the train towards Leeuwarden (platform 11) and get off at Heerenveen. This will be a mixed train, one part going to Leeuwarden and the other to Groningen so make sure you are in the right part. Ask the conductor which part you must have, back or forward.
Leave the trainstation to where the busses are.
Get on bus nr 100 towards Groningen. This bus will get you to Drachten. You must get off at the
Van Knobelsdorffplein in Drachten. Just write this down and ask the chauffeur to tell when you are there. The busride will be around 45 minutes.
From the busstop to the venue is about 10 minutes walk. I will try to find a good map to post so you will know which way to walk
If all goes as planned, the trip takes a little over 3 hours and you should be in Drachten around 17.00.
Tickets and prices:
Train ticket from Den Bosch to Heerenveen will be €25.50
Busticket will be about €5.00/€7.50 and can be bought in the bus itself.
If you want to come later, you can take the same route but leave Den Bosch at 15.38. You will arrive in Drachten around 19.00, the time the venue opens.
We are planning a pre-meeting in Drachten so keep an eye on that forum to see where we are going to meet if you want to join us!
If you have any more questions, just post them here or send me a PM.
See you at both gigs!
