Bar and Food Credits (Highest Point Pounds)
Highest Point will be operating an improved cashless system for bars and food vendors this year. Simply load your wristband with credit (via Cash or Card) at the various topup stations in the park, then spend by simply tapping your wristband at the trader. The buying process is much quicker, reducing queues and ensuring you get fed and watered quicker!
Top-up before you go, and get 10% extra free credit on your wristband when you spend £50 or more.
Can my movement be tracked with RFID technology?
No, it can’t. The RFID wristbands will not be equipped with GPS technology and therefore it will be impossible to track your movement.
Can lost or stolen cards be tracked?
Please keep in mind that your card is similar to cash, if you lose it, you can’t get it back. This means we can issue a new card, but your credit will be lost. None of your personal data is stored on the card, so don't worry about that.
What's so great about these wristbands?
RFID wristbands/cards present many great benefits to YOU. You’ll save loads of time as RFID significantly reduces queues at vendors and bars. Also, you won’t have to worry about counting and keeping track of cash or tokens or waiting for your card transaction to be accepted. You can enjoy the pools without worrying about keeping your money safe in a locker and have all your credit with you at all times. It’s also super easy to use and completely waterproof!
Can I invite my friends by paying for their goods?
Of course! Your friends will be more than happy for you to buy them a drink with your wristband/card.
How do I keep track of my balance?
You will be able to check the balance of your wristband/card whenever you want, at any bar, vendor, Top-up booths, or customer Service point. Simply ask for a balance check.
What happens if I run out of credit?
Don’t worry, if you run out, you can always top up...as many times as you’d like, with no additional fee.
How do I put credit on my wristband\card?
Wait until you’re inside the festival gates and load your wristband/card with credit at any one of the top-up booths.
Can I pay with cash or card instead of with my wristband?
No. Highest Point is a fully cashless festival, which means that the only way of paying for goods is with your wristband/card.
Do I have to use this system?
Yes, Highest Point will be completely free of physical tokens. Bar and vendors will only accept payment made with RFID wristbands.
