About

Rotterdam Ahoy is a multifunctional event venue in South Holland. Since 1971, Rotterdam Ahoy has been a unique event facility in the Netherlands due to its versatility.

The Ahoy Arena has a capacity of more than 16,500 visitors and is primarily used for major concerts, sports tournaments, family shows, and conferences. The Exhibition and Event Halls, ranging from 3,000 m2 to 30,000 m2, are the perfect location for trade fairs and corporate events.

Rotterdam Ahoy offers space for business, communication, and entertainment. We consider Ahoy as the stage for positive experiences where joy, creativity, development, and success take center stage. With excellent accessibility and ample parking, Ahoy provides what organizers need without worries. We work alongside you, offering excellent facilities and going the extra mile. Our ultimate goal is to turn satisfied visitors and partners into 'ambassadors' of our brand, thus providing real enrichment and ensuring continuity and sustainable growth in a world-class venue.

In 2020, the Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre (RACC) and RTM Stage (concert hall and auditorium/theater) opened their doors. RTM Stage is not only the largest auditorium and theater hall in the Netherlands (with a capacity of 2,816 and an XL seated variant with 4,400 seats), but when the seats are completely removed, it becomes a music hall for concerts and events for up to 7,842 people.

RTM Stage is therefore unique in the Netherlands both in terms of conferences/theater and concerts. RACC features 35 meeting rooms and beautiful, spacious foyers. For more detailed information, please visit our website.
