This year, everyone ages 2+ will be required to have a wristband to enter Festival. Whether or not you load your wristband with money (and how much!) is up to you!

Please load money to your wristband by using the video and step-by-step instructions below. It is strongly encouraged to load money to your wristband prior to your arrival at Festival. However, also know that you can add more money once at the event with your phone using the same steps. There will be an opportunty for assistance on Friday, April 21 on Piney Point Campus from 8:00am - 10:00am in the People Place.

Step-by-Step:

Step 1:  Hold the wristband’s NFC tag 2-4cm from the NFC ”area” on your smartphone.    

  • iPhone: The top of the screen
  • Android / Google: The top, middle or bottom on the back of the phone. Location varies by model.              

Step 2:  Click the browser banner that appears on your phone screen                       

Step 3:  Select “Topup Wristband” and enter the monetary amount you’d like to load onto your wristband.            

Step 4:  Fill in your credit card information and click the “Purchase Topup” button.           

Step 5:  Success! Your wristband is now ready to use. Click the blue link to view your receipt.         

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

  • Your balance and previous transactions will not show up until you have made your first purchase at Festival. So, if you scan your wristband after you have loaded it (and received your confirmation email), a $0 balance will still show.
  • Once you have started using your wristband at Festival, you can scan it with your phone and the correct, updated balance will show.
  • Your email receipt is confirmation that your $ was loaded on each wristband. So don't do it twice if you received confirmation via email.
  • You might want to write name/initials on the fabric of each band if you are loading different amounts to different bands within your family.


Don't know how much money to load to your or your child's wristband? Here are some suggestions!

Child who will try a little of everything once: ~$60 to get some food, a drink, an Airbrushed item, play some games, ride some rides, get hair dye and cascarones, plus a couple Pick-A-Chop pulls.

Child who will do absolutely everything: ~$80 to cover all the rides and all the games, and a few snacks, as well as hair dye, cascarones, an Airbrushed item, and a few Pick-A-Chop pulls.
