Open registration

When?
The period of open registration is from Friday, December 1 to Tuesday, December 19 (i.e. December 19 until midnight).

How do I register?
Each participant must register personally. The option to order multiple tickets during free registration will no longer be possible!

We have made the free registration process easier. Anyone can indicate that they wish to qualify for a personal starting card and participate in the draw.

Can I also register with others?

Yes, that's possible. What is new is that during free registration you can indicate that you want to register together with others. This means that you participate in the draw together. If you have been drawn, you will each order a card separately, but you will be placed in the same starting group. You can register up to a maximum of 20 people together.How this works is described in the instructions on this page (pdf document).

In other words: Register together = draw together = cycle together.

What happens next? Participants who have been selected will be notified as soon as possible after 20 December. This notification will allow you to start the ordering process, buy a ticket and pay immediately. This is possible until 6 January 2025 at midnight. If members of the group do not pay, they will be removed from the group and will not receive a starting ticket. During the ordering process, there is a question asking whether the participant has read the general terms and conditions and agrees to them. This question must be answered with 'yes'. The last step of the ordering process is the payment of the amount of € 33.00.

Your participation in the tour is only final after payment. What happens if I do not place an order and pay on time? If you have not placed an order and purchased the ticket before 6 January, you will lose your right to register. Your registration will then be drawn among those who were eliminated in the first round of drawing.

How do I know if the order was successful? After completing the order, you will receive a confirmation by email. If you then go back to your account, you will see that a barcode has been linked to your order. This will be printed on your personal stamp card later. Please note: you have not yet been assigned to a starting group. The starting group will be announced in your account on 1 March 2025. The stamp card contains the address details, a card number, your starting group and the barcode

 Do I need to do anything else? 

Foreign participants in the Fietselfstedentocht 2025 will have to pick up their personal stamp card in Bolsward. More information about this will appear on the website!

You no longer need to link your barcode to your account, because this has already been done with your order. Please note: make sure that the address in your account is correct!

Can I still sell my stamp card for the Fietselfstedentocht? Yes, you can. In the period from 1 February to 22 April, you can transfer your card to someone else. For this, see transfer card. After this period, you can no longer transfer the card to another person.
