Terms & Conditions
Initiated by the Local Consultation VU, the forum for union representation at VU, Griffioen annually offers several employee shows and courses. With the use of the Employment Conditions funds provided by VU as an employer, VU employees are enabled to attend the finest shows or courses about ten times a year at a modest cost.
Tickets for staff shows are available only to current VU employees, not former employees and VUmc staff. Tickets for employee shows cost €7,50 each. Upon presentation of an employee pass, you can order a maximum of 4 tickets, even for non-VU employees. Besides, you'll receive a free drink at Bar Boele for you and your party (*liquor, cocktails and craft beers excluded).
For regular shows and our courses and workshops, there is only a reduced staff rate. This rate is valid only for the staff member themselves. Non-staff members pay the regular rate.
Amsterdam UMC
If you would like to attend the theatre and are an employee of Amsterdam UMC and a member of the staff association, select a regular ticket and enter the promo code to receive the employee discount.
