Info
Cashless
The Gurtenfestival 22 is Cashless. Every person gets a Cashless Card with the festival wristband. This must be registered online once. Afterwards, the card can be topped up at any time and the account balance and bookings can be called up. After the end of the festival the remaining balance will be refunded automatically. This transfer will be made to the account last used when loading the card. The card can be disposed of in all common plastic collections.
You don’t have to do anything before arriving at the festival!
You get your individual Cashless Card when you exchange your wristband on site. Afterwards you can register online and easily top up your card at any time and check your account balance. After the end of the festival your remaining balance will be refunded automatically. This transfer will be made to the last account used for the top-up.
Yes, on the whole festival area and in the Sleeping Zone you can only pay cash-free with your Cashless Card. All food and beverage stands, bars, boulevard and partner stands as well as the Festival Store etc. only accept the Cashless Card as a means of payment. Cash payments are not possible under any circumstances.
Exceptions/Specials: Cash can be used for the use of the lockers (CHF 2.00 per lock) – however, they can also be booked digitally. The festival parking lot can be paid in cash or with all major cards (CHF 60.00), but not with the Cashless Card. The VIP area is cashfree, i.e. no cash is accepted there, but all common card payments and of course the Cashless Card.
