With just one round of matches remaining in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, it is becoming increasingly clear what the possible route for ADO Den Haag in the Play-Offs will be. After last Friday, it is clear that De Graafschap will be the opponent in the first of three potential rounds. However, it is still unclear whether ADO Den Haag will play their first match at home or away against the "Superboeren". In this article, we will update you on the possible routes for ADO Den Haag in the Play-Offs and provide information on ticket sales.
Scenario 1: ADO Den Haag finishes fifth (current situation)
How things stand (ADO Den Haag finishes above De Graafschap), ADO Den Haag will have to play the first leg in De Vijverberg in Doetinchem on Tuesday, May 14 at 9:00 PM. The second leg home game will be played in the Bingoal Stadion on Saturday, May 18 at 8:00 PM. The final round of the KKD will determine who finishes in fifth place. ADO Den Haag will play their last league match at home against Jong PSV. De Graafschap will visit FC Emmen, who are still fighting for a place in the play-offs.

Scenario 2: ADO Den Haag finishes sixth
If ADO Den Haag were to lose fifth place to De Graafschap in the final league match, the team of coach Darije Kalezic would start with a home match at the same time as in scenario 1 (Tuesday, May 14 at 9:00 PM). Four days later, ADO Den Haag will visit Doetinchem for the return match. This match will also be played on Saturday, May 18 at 8:00 PM.
Possible (semi) final Play-Offs
The winner of both encounters in the first round will play in the second round (semi-final) against the sixteenth placed team of the Eredivisie. At this moment, this place is held by Excelsior Rotterdam, but the Rotterdam team is still in a fierce battle with RKC Waalwijk. Heracles Almelo has also not secured its Eredivsie place yet and could potentially still drop into the Play-Offs. If ADO Den Haag reaches the semi-final, they will play a home match on Wednesday, May 22 at 6:45 PM and the return match on Saturday, May 25 at 8:00 PM. The finals of the Play-Offs will be played on Tuesday, May 28 at 8:00 PM and on Sunday, June 2 at 6:00 PM.
PLAY-OFFS TICKETS
As it is known, this season there are strict conditions for purchasing tickets for ADO Den Haag home matches, and this will also apply to the Play-Offs matches. For all home matches in the Play-Offs, a complete registration and identification of the ADO Den Haag account is required to purchase a ticket. This means that you must have an identified ADO Den Haag account in our system. In addition, you may only purchase a maximum of one ticket per account during home matches in the Play-Offs. So make sure that a friend, family member or acquaintance also registers and identifies themselves if you normally order an extra ticket for them. At https://adodenhaag.nl/en/tickets/ticket-sales/how-to-register we explain step by step how this process works. Ticket sales for the first round of the Play-Offs will start as soon as the definitive route for the Play-Offs for ADO Den Haag is clear.
Season ticket holders
Season ticket holders who have already renewed their season ticket will find their ticket in the online ticket environment once the opponent and time have been confirmed. The physical season ticket will not be valid as a ticket for the play-offs. Current season ticket holders who have chosen not to renew their season ticket will of course have the opportunity to purchase one ticket with their account. Anyone in possession of a season ticket does not need to identify themselves as explained above.
