Hellfest has chosen the company Weezevent for the implementation of the bracelet as the only means of payment at the bars and food stands of the festival. On site, more than 40 stands offer food of all kinds, even for vegetarians, not to mention the many bars for beer and muscadet lovers.

Accustomed to offering this service, particularly at competing festivals, the company enjoys a reputation as a quality service provider in this exercise, which largely justifies this decision. More than just paying for drinks, the Hellfest wristband also serves as an entry pass to the festival. On the festival-goer side, we greatly appreciate this device called Cashless.

Thanks to the bracelet, many were able to let loose freely in improvised choreographies without risking losing the money kept in their clothes. When the credit of the bracelet is exhausted, it is enough simply to recharge it with the volunteers of the festival. Finally, notice to festival-goers for whom there is money left in the bracelet after the festival, you have the possibility of having it reimbursed from your online account from June 27 to July 10, 2022. After this date, your balance will automatically be reallocated to the development of the artistic and cultural project of the Hellfest Productions association.
