CASHLESS/REGISTERING WRISTBANDS
WHY SHOULD I REGISTER MY WRISTBAND?
It protects your investment and assigns that wristband to only you. It also offers extra protection if you should lose your wristband and need it replaced.
WHEN CAN I REGISTER MY WRISTBAND?
You can start registering your wristband once you receive it about 4 weeks prior to the festival. You can register it on our Tortuga App or online at TortugaMusicFestival.com.
HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR CASHLESS?
Just visit our Register Wristband page, click to register and it’ll walk you through the steps to register your wristband and opt-in to sign up for Cashless program.
DO I HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR CASHLESS?
No. Although Registering your wristband is required, cashless is not. That being said, we highly encourage it as it will make your life much easier while at Tortuga with cashless, your credit card is securely attached to your wrist.
WILL I NEED TO BRING ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT WITH ME?
Yes. We would recommend bringing some cash and/or a credit/debit card with you to the beach just in case the vendor you choose to shop with is one of the few that doesn’t accept cashless or in the very unlikely event of an issue with the cashless system.
HOW DOES THIS WORK? DO I HAVE TO DEPOSIT MONEY INTO AN ACCOUNT OR DOES IT CHARGE DIRECTLY TO MY CARD?
With cashless, there is no need to load any money onto your wristband as you might have experienced at some other events. When you register for the cashless option on your wristband you will securely link your credit or debit card with the wristband. So when you pay for something with your wristband, it will be just like swiping your card at a store. You even have a PIN number you will put in before you can purchase.
IF I LOSE MY WRISTBAND, WILL SOMEONE BE ABLE TO USE IT TO PURCHASE ITEMS?
No. Even though you will swipe your wristband to pay for items, you still have to punch in your PIN number for a transaction to take place. As long as you don’t give out your PIN number, your wristband is safe and cannot be used for cashless purposes by anyone else.
I ALREADY REGISTERED FOR CASHLESS BUT NEED TO EDIT MY CREDIT CARD INFO, HOW DO I DO THAT?
Go to our Register Wristband page and enter your wristband number again. It’ll then ask you for the email you used when you registered…. enter that email address. Your account information will then appear and you may edit as needed.
WILL I BE ABLE TO PAY FOR FOOD AND DRINKS WITH MY WRISTBAND?
Yes. Most food vendors on-site will accept cashless as a form of payment. That being said, we still recommend bringing cash and/or a card with you as a few food vendors, roaming food/drink carts, and craft merchants might not accept cashless.
WILL THERE STILL BE ATMS IN THE FESTIVAL?
Yes. These will be located around the grounds. Specific locations will be notated in the Tortuga mobile app.
IF I FORGET TO REGISTER MY WRISTBAND, CAN I DO IT ON-SITE AT THE FESTIVAL?
Yes. You may register your wristband on-site at any of the Guest Service booths located around the festival site. You can also always register your wristband by going to our Register Wristband page here on the website or in the Tortuga App at any point before or during the festival!
