Can I get into the Van Gogh Museum the same day I get my ticket?
When I pick up my I Amsterdam cards in Amsterdam, I can then reserve time slots for the Van Gogh museum. I will pick up the cards on March 26 and activate it for March 27-29. How likely am I to find four available time slots 1 to 3 days before the visit?
The I Amsterdam card web site does not mention this important fact until after you buy the I Amsterdam card which includes admission to the Van Gogh Museum. However, when I tried to reserve a time, it told me I have to pick up my card first.
At the moment it is not possible for us to connect a physical City Card and its unique Card ID to a specific person due to data privacy laws.
This makes no sense since they could tie the Card ID to the Voucher Number without exposing any personally identifiable information. They just did not plan for this when they set up the site.
The I Amsterdam card website recommends paying for separate tickets in order to reserve your time in advance. Argh!

I live in Amsterdam an work in a hotel. Van Gogh is pretty busy but i think you will have no problem to find a spot. You are right saying tourist season opens and it gets more busy. Specially Keukenhof also opens soon. The i am Amsterdam card is nice but also has this problems. In my opinion its a little overrated. I never advise my guest to buy this card. Just reserve online. You have more options then and avoid this problem. But like i sayed no worries, there is always a time slot left. And if you have really bad luck. Try Rijksmuseum. Its 50 times bigger and why more paintings and art to see. Specially now they are busy with renovating the Nachtwacht and you can watch that live in action ;). A must go if i was you. Have fun in Amsterdam :)
