How many people does Flint hold? Up to 1,250 standing in the Stadszaal
Flint has two main halls: the AFAS Theaterzaal seats 150 to 800 people, and the Stadszaal takes 1,250 standing or 800 in theatre layout. The number depends on the layout, not just the room.
Flint does not publish one capacity for the whole building. The AFAS Theaterzaal is the traditional theatre hall with red plush seats and a fixed stage; for conferences and presentations it is used for 150 to 800 people. The Stadszaal is the flexible hall: 100 to 800 in theatre layout, 50 to 250 in cabaret layout, 50 to 280 for dinner and 400 to 1,250 standing for a reception or party.
Both halls have their own foyer and smaller rooms alongside. For comparison, Amersfoort's ICOONtheater has 210 places and Theater Het Lichtruim in Leusden has 130. The Stadszaal at 1,250 standing is in a different bracket, closer to a mid-size concert hall than to a studio theatre.

Seating at Flint: numbered seats in the AFAS, free seating in the Stadszaal
Book the AFAS Theaterzaal if you want a specific numbered seat; in the Stadszaal you sit where you find a place.
The AFAS Theaterzaal is Flint's traditional auditorium: red plush seats, a fixed stage and a seat map with numbered places. You choose your seats during booking. The 4th rank can have a restricted view for some productions. For opera, surtitles are only guaranteed in 1st rank+ and 1st rank; the boxes and the first four rows count as 2nd rank for those performances.
The Stadszaal has free seating and a layout that changes with each performance, so there is no separate floor plan. For a wheelchair place in the AFAS Theaterzaal, call 033 4 229 229: the places are in the side boxes and count as 1st rank. In the Stadszaal you book online or by phone, then email the box office to say you need a wheelchair place.
- AFAS: numbered seats, chosen when you book.
- Stadszaal: free seating and a layout that changes per performance.
- Opera: choose 1st rank+ or 1st rank to see the surtitles.
- Wheelchair: side boxes in the AFAS, booked by phone on 033 4 229 229.
- Less mobile: a box seat has no stair down into the hall.
Eating at Flint: TREK opens at 17:00 on show nights
TREK theaterkeuken & café serves a changing menu of sharing dishes from 17:00 on every show evening, and times dinner so you reach your seat.
TREK is the theatre's own restaurant, in the heart of the building. The menu changes every two months and is built around smaller sharing dishes with seasonal ingredients; there is a separate gluten- and lactose-free menu. On show evenings it opens at 17:00, and service is paced so you are finished before the performance.
If you are going to a pre-show introduction, book a table for 17:15. Same-day reservations after 15:00 are by phone only, on 033 4 229 229. Flint Friends with a Hoofdrol or Maestro package get 10% off dinner. TREK is cashless, like the theatre: pin or credit card only.

Getting to Flint: 25 minutes on foot from Amersfoort Centraal, or bus 5 to De Flint
The theatre is a 25-minute walk from Amersfoort Centraal; bus 5 drops you at De Flint, 3 minutes from the door, and is free with a theatre ticket.
Amersfoort Centraal has at least one direct intercity an hour from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, and regular trains from Zwolle, Apeldoorn, Enschede and Groningen without a change. From the station, bus 5 goes to the stop De Flint: cross the bridge and the theatre is on your right. Bus 6 stops at Kamp/De Stier, about 6 minutes on foot.
On the day of a performance, U-OV bus travel is free in both directions on presentation of your theatre ticket. If you walk, allow 25 minutes for the 1.7 km route. There are bike racks around the theatre, but space is limited; the centre's guarded bicycle storage is a better bet, though not all of it opens in the evening. You can hire an OV-fiets at the station.
Parking at Flint: two garages within a five-minute walk
The Flintplein garage is behind the theatre, with 347 spaces and a 5-minute walk; Q-Park Beestenmarkt is the same distance and takes reservations.
Parkeergarage Flintplein at Walikerstraat 14 has 347 spaces over three layers, is open 24/7, has a lift and five charging points, and is a 5-minute walk from the entrance. It is not run by Flint. If you park for more than four hours, buy a Flint exit ticket at the box office for €10.50; it is cheaper than the standard tariff and valid for Flint's regular theatre programme.
Q-Park Beestenmarkt at Sint Andriesstraat 79 has 360 spaces and is also about five minutes on foot. You can reserve ahead from €7.50 per day; the garage is open 24/7 and has a clearance of 1.95 m. Flintplein fills up around show times, so leave extra time or drive straight to Beestenmarkt. St. Jorisplein, Stadshuisplein and Koestraat garages are 11 to 15 minutes on foot.
| Garage | Address | Walk | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parkeergarage Flintplein | Walikerstraat 14 | 5 min | €10.50 Flint exit ticket after 4 hours; otherwise the standard tariff |
| Q-Park Beestenmarkt | Sint Andriesstraat 79 | 5 min | Reserve from €7.50 per day |
