How to Top Up Your Wristband at #EatDrinkFestival

#EatDrinkFestival is a “cashless” festival. When you check-in at the festival, we give you wristband with an RFID chip on it. This chip contains a unique identifier that is connected to your ticket. With it, we can store and transmit data wirelessly to an RFID readers given to the vendors and any tix.africa staff member.

At the festival, the wristbands help us streamline transactions and access control. Attendees can load money onto the wristband and use it to make purchases at vendors by simply scanning the wristband at the point-of-sale terminal.

During the Festival

There are generally two ways to load funds onto the wristband during the event:

1. Online: If you already topped up before the festival, you can top up again with the portal. If didn’t top up before the festival, you’ll need to visit the festival portal and create a profile. You’ll need the code behind the chip on the wristband to create your profile.

2. At a top-up station: At designated top-up stations, you can load funds onto your wristband. This is done by scanning the wristband at the kiosk and making a payment to the event staff.
