Wristbands

Using Cashless Payment Technology

Paying for drinks, food and merchandise at the event is now easier, faster and safer.

Your festival wristband is not only your ticket to get into Roots n Blues Festival faster, it’s also your digital wallet to make purchases at the event – all with a simple tap of your wristband. Gone are the days of having to worry about fumbling for change; instead, enjoy fast, convenient and secure transactions using your RFID-enabled wristband. With faster transactions, you can get back to what you really came for – the music.

The only form of payment accepted at all vendor locations is your RFID wristband, you just double-tap to pay. Vendors do not accept cash, credit or debit cards.

If you do not register and top-up your wristband in advance, don’t worry, we have trained staff at the Festival to assist you. Visit the Customer Service Top-Up station just inside the festival entrance. This station accepts credit/debit cards and cash. There are 3 additional Top-Up stations: near the merch booth (accepts debit/credit/cash) and at each end of the food vendors row, near each stage (debit/credit ONLY)

Once you make purchases by double-tapping your wristband at vendor locations, the amount spent will automatically be deducted from your account balance. If you run out of credit, you can recharge and top-up again at any time.
