Where do I get my Cashless wristband?
You exchange your ticket on site for a free wristband at the check-ins/festival box offices.
How do I load my Cashless wristband with money?
There are several possibilities:
1. you can already load your ticket with credit here before the festival. For this you have to enter your barcode of the festival ticket and choose an amount you want to load on your ticket. When you scan your ticket, the credit on it will be loaded onto your chip and you can pay with it on site. You can find the portal for topping up here: airbeatone2026.eventportal.io
2. you can top up your Cashless wristband at the festival or camping area with cash or card payment at any time. The top-up stations are marked in the FestivalGuide.
Get credit without logging in?
By using the 14-digit number printed on the back of your chip, you can check your current credit balance in the portal at any time. You don't have to register for this, you can skip this step with "Skip login, I'll sign up later". You can also check your balance at any time at all cash registers.
What happens if the band or chip is broken and cannot be read? Or you have lost your band?
The GET support team will help you with questions and problems on site (at the CashlessTroubleshoot) and of course before and after the festival. Please write down your chip number & PIN or take a picture of it. You can find the location of the Troubleshoot in the Guide.
What are the fees?
When you activate your band for the first time, there is a one-time activation fee of 4€ when you top up credit. There is no charge for refunds. If you don't want to activate your wristband, you have the possibility to pay with credit card at the bar between the Second Stage and Arena Stage and at the Gourmet-Zug at the Festivalplaza.
How do I get my money back?
If you still have remaining money on your wristband after the festival, you can transfer the money back online through your account. You can submit your application as of Wednesday after the event. The first payments will then begin about a week after the end of the event.
The transfers are processed twice a week and are credited to the original payment method used for the top-up. If the top-up was made with cash, a bank account can be provided for the refund.
You can also download receipts.
