CASHLESS

Lokerse Feesten is a cashless festival. Food and drinks can be paid for using a cashless card. You receive this card together with your festival wristband, and it is also available at the top-up counters on the square. With this card, you can pay in euros at all bars and food stands on the square and in Club Studio Brussel.

TOP-UPS


Want to check how much credit is left on your card? Scan the QR code on your card to see the balance in your digital wallet.

Want to add money to your card? You can do this in several ways:

  1. Top-up via the website before the festival starts. Don’t have a card yet? No problem! Create an account and pre-load your card.
  2. Scan the QR code on your card & top-up. You can easily add money to your card via online payment using your banking app.
  3. Register your card through our mobile app. The app gives you full control over your digital card at all times and allows easy top-ups.
  4. Visit our top-up counters. Our volunteers are happy to help. Payment here is by bank card.

A €1.50 activation fee is charged for the very first top-up.

DEPOSIT

Lokerse Feesten is committed to sustainability. Beer is served in reusable cups; soft drinks in bottles. A €1 deposit is charged for both. When you return cups and bottles to the counters, the deposit is automatically added back to your card. You don’t need to do anything: the credit is automatically adjusted.

Please note: Taking cups or bottles outside the festival is not allowed. Make sure to return them at one of the many drink points first to reclaim your deposit.

REFUNDS


If there is still money on your card after the festival, you can request a refund by filling out the refund form. Refunds are free of charge; no fee is applied. Refunds are only possible for cards that still have a minimum value of €1, or the equivalent of 1 reusable cup.

The card can only be used for this edition of the festival. Refunds can only be processed if the correct information is provided in the form. You can request a SEPA refund. Non-SEPA refunds are not possible.

REFUND PERIOD

The exact refund period is indicated on your cashless card. After this period, refund requests will no longer be accepted. Cashless payments are subject to the Cashless Payment Terms & Conditions.

Why a cashless system?

As a festival, we work with reusable cups. Like the majority of festivals, we work with a cashless system to easily collect and refund deposits for these cups. A separate card (instead of a bank card) has many advantages: your payment is faster (less waiting at the counters) and does not rely on internet connection.

How can I do a top-up

Purchases of food and drinks are made via a cashless card, powered by ING. To do this, you must first load money onto your account, linked to your card. Loading money (a top-up) can be done in several ways:

  • Through the website. You can do this now. 
  • At the top-up tills. This can be done with any bank card. 
  • Via the QR code on yes card. Very simple: scan the QR code with your smartphone camera and follow the instructions. 
  • Via our mobile app.

Are there any costs associated with this system?

For the very first cash top-up, we charge an activation fee of 1.5 euros. However, refunding any remaining value on your card is completely free. 

Can I have the money on my card refunded?

Yes, this is possible within the indicated refund period, which you can find on your card, and it is completely free of charge.

After the refund period has ended, it is no longer possible to request a refund. Cashless payments are subject to the Cashless Payment Terms and Conditions.

Where can I check my balance?

There are several ways to do this:

  • Go to the top-up tills or at the counters. You scan your card and our staff will be happy to give you your balance. 
  • You can also create an account and link your card with your account. Then you can check your balance at any time: either through our website or through our mobile application

I already had an account last year, is it still valid?

This account is still valid. If you forgot your password you can easily retrieve it. The ticket you used last year has been removed from your account though, since the event has ended. 

I have already done a top-up in advance, how do I link my account to my card?

You will get a cashless card, powered by ING, at our checkouts or at the top-up checkouts. Have you already done a top-up in advance? Then you can very easily link that top-up with your card. Go to our top-up page or use our app.

What if my cashless card is lost or stolen?

If your cashless card is lost or stolen, and you have registered for your online cashless account, we can block the lost or stolen card, and transfer all of your unspent money onto a new NFC card for you. If you have not registered, then we are unable to either block the lost card or transfer the money that may have been on it.
