Bonnaroo Cashless: Pay With A Tap Of The Wrist!

Bonnaroo Cashless is the easy way for you to pay for food, drinks, merch and more with the tap of a wrist. It’s basically magic, but cooler (OK, maybe not cooler, but it’s pretty cool).

Returning For 2019: Link PayPal to register for Cashless and not only will you be able to pay for food, drinks, merch, and more with the tap of a wrist, you might be one of the first 15,000 PayPal users to receive a $5.00 credit applied to your festival wristband good for your purchases on The Farm. Terms apply*

Here’s how it works:

1. You can register your wristband in advance during which time you will also have the option to link your account with PayPal or any of your credit cards to your wristband and set a required PIN for security. Now you’re registered for Cashless too! You must register by 5:00pm EST on June 16, 2019.
2. Once you’re at the fest, just order at any bar or vendor location displaying the Cashless logo, and let them know you are paying with your wristband.
3. Then tap your wristband, enter your PIN, and go!


We still suggest that you bring some cash 💵 and/or a card 💳 as backup though, as many craft vendors and some other vendors may not be accepting cashless.

Q. Do I have to Register my wristband?
A: Yes. While cashless registration is optional, you must Register your wristband for access into the festival as each wristband is uniquely identifiable to each patron.

Q: Do I have to sign up for Cashless?
A: 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 Roo, and it might just save you from having to run back to your campsite to pick up a forgotten wallet during a big show. With cashless, your credit card is securely attached to your wrist! (plus, if you’re one of the first 15,000 to sign up for cashless using PayPal, you can get a $5 Instant Credit!)

Q: Will I need to bring any other forms of payment with me?
A: Yes. We would recommend bringing some cash and/or a credit/debit card with you to The Farm 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.

Q: How does this work? Do I have to deposit money into an account or does it charge directly to my card?
A: With cashless at Bonnaroo, there is no need to load any money onto or “top up” 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.

Q: Will I be able to pay for food and drinks with my wristband?
A: 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.

Q: Will I be able to pay for crafts and craft vendors with my wristband?
A:No. We would recommend bringing cash and/or a card with you if you are interested in purchasing crafts.

Q: Will I be able to pay for Bonnaroo merchandise with my wristband?
A: YES! The Bonnaroo SuperStore and merchandise locations will accept cashless payment.

Q: Will there be ATMs on-site at the festival?
A: YES! These will be located around the grounds. Specific locations will be notated in the Bonnaroo mobile app.

Q: If I forget to register my wristband, can I do it on-site at the festival?
A: Yes. Located at the entrance to Centeroo there will be “Registration Kiosks” that will allow you to register your wristband and sign up for cashless. You will also be able to register your wristband at ANY point on your mobile device by going here: https://www.bonnaroo.com/wristband

Q: Will I be able to pay for showers with my wristband?
A: Yes, but only at our permanent showe locations (Plazas 2, 3, and 7). the other locations will require cash. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we wanted you to know ahead of time! We will be working to make this possible at ALL locations for future years though.
