Amsterdam Travel Pass, Where/How To Buy?

[JohnWest]

I’m going to Amsterdam on Sunday and would like to buy a ticket that allows travel on (primarily) trams but I’ve read that it’s valid for all public transport.

I’ve found 2 websites so far that sell these types of tickets but he price varies considerably. The first site sells them for £14.58, valid for 72 hours from first use. The second site is £31.33 for seemingly the same thing.

Website 1 makes no mention of how we’ll receive our tickets (assume email) while website 2 explicitly states it’s a smartphone pass.

Does anyone have experience of buying such a travel card and if so, where did you buy it from? I’ll be arriving by plane, I’m hoping there’ll be a ticket desk in Schipol.

Thanks

Well, just after posting I tried google again and found the answer to my question. A 3 day pass is €28 and can be bought from a number of places, including Amsterdam Schipol. Link for anyone who may need it:

I'm pretty certain you can get them from the self service ticket machines at any station.

Yes, and each tram has a maned (or womaned) ticket office onboard that you can buy one from, plus some hotels sell them too!

You can buy an OV-Chip card which you can top up at various points (supermarkets, newsagents, stations etc)

You can get them at the newsagent shop in Schiphol in-between the main station ticket office and the flower shop, or from the ticket machines in Schiphol Plaza.

They are reusable and valid for 5 years.
