Cashless

01

What is the cashless system?

Cashless is a digital system that simplifies payment processes at the festival. It replaces the Glücks-Token from previous years and is the only way to pay at the festival (with a few exceptions such as our merch stores – where card payments are also accepted).
The cashless system consists of the new digital Glücks-Coins (GC), which are stored on the chip of your festival wristband and can be used to pay across the entire festival grounds.
To ensure maximum convenience, you can top up Glücks-Coins before the festival. These will then be automatically transferred to your festival wristband at the main entrance of the GLÜCKSGEFÜHLE Festival after your ticket has been scanned.
02

Are there still tokens?

No. Your festival wristband with the digital Glücks-Coins is the only accepted payment method at the festival.
The wristband is personal and non-transferable.
03

How can I top up cashless credit (Glücks-Coins) onto my festival wristband?

Before the festival:
If you already have a ticket, you can top up your credit online by creating an account on our website or in our app and linking your festival ticket. Please note that you can only link your festival ticket, not your camping ticket or other extras.
At the festival entrance or campsite entrance, your festival ticket will be scanned and your credit will be transferred from your ticket to your festival wristband.
We strongly recommend topping up credit in advance to avoid waiting times and a service fee of €2.30, so you can enjoy the festival to the fullest.
The service fee only applies if you have not created a cashless account or topped up credit before the festival. Once you have done this once in advance, you can top up again at the festival free of charge at any time.
During the festival:
Online:
You can continue topping up credit online during the festival – anytime and as often as you like.
If you top up on-site for the first time, you can simply scan the QR code on your wristband with your phone and add credit without registering.
Please note that a service fee of €2.30 applies at the festival if you have not topped up any credit before the start of the festival.
Physical top-up:
You can also top up credit at machines using card payment or at staffed cash desks with cash. Please note that no change can be given at cash desks – the full amount you pay will be loaded onto your account. After the festival, you can of course request a refund of your remaining balance.
To avoid queues and ensure maximum convenience, we recommend online top-ups.
04

How do I create a cashless account?

Register:
Create your cashless account via our website or app by entering your email address and name.
Link:
Link your festival ticket (not your camping ticket or extras) to your account by entering the barcode number of your ticket.
Top up:
Choose an amount and complete the payment process.

- You can view your balance and transactions in your account during the festival.

Go to a cashless station – they will help you there.
13

14

Can I share my wristband?

Example: If you have purchased 10 drinks, you can return a maximum of 20 cups/cans.
16

To do so, you must create a cashless account (if you haven’t already) and enter the 6-digit code of your wristband. If you already have an account, simply log in and request the refund.
Keep your wristband! Only with it can you claim your remaining balance.
Important: You cannot use your balance again next year.
17

When can I withdraw my balance?

You can only withdraw your balance after the festival during the refund period, which begins on 07/09/2026 at 6:00 PM.
The refund is of course free of charge.
18
