Your festival wristband has an RFID chip built in - think of it as a prepaid card for the festival.
You’ll be able to use it at festival bars, food stalls, and selected restaurants across the site.
Bar prices will be in euros (€).
Adding credit
You can top up your wristband online before arriving at the festival, or at one of the stations on-site. Worth doing in advance, queues can be long in the first couple of days.
You’ll receive an email on May 21st with the unique code you need to create an account linked to your wristband. Once you receive the code simply follow the steps on the widget below.
Refunds
Any remaining balance on your wristband can be refunded after the event.
Take a photo of the 6-digit code on the back of your RFID chip, as you’ll need it to refund leftover credit.

Fees
There's a €1 activation fee and a €1.50 refund fee to use the cashless system.
Spending money
The festival bars are cashless. You will be able to pay with your wristband - prices will be in EUR.
Most local restaurants and shops in town take card payments.
You’ll need some cash to cover the security deposit of your accommodation plus the usual pocket money. The local currency is LEK, but Euros are widely accepted. You can also exchange EUR or GBP at the local currency exchange office.
There are a couple ATMs on site but they charge a 8-10€ withdrawal fee, so come prepared.
Where to top up on site
Top-up stations are dotted around the site - usually by the main music venues. There are no stations at Gjipe so make sure to top up before you board the boat. If you are attending a long table dinner, there will be a station on site.
