BALANCE & VOUCHER
Please, read the following information carefully before you start to shop:
General Info
As soon as you check in with your ticket at the event , your previously uploaded credit and vouchers will automatically be transferred from your event account dashboard to your chip on your event wristband or card. Most of our events are cashless, meaning you exclusively pay using the chip on your wristband or card.
All vouchers purchased from our shop should be used up during the event. Vouchers cannot be cancelled, returned or exchanged.
All vouchers purchased prior to the event can’t be transferred to other event goers of the same event, meaning all vouchers will remain in your event account dashboard even if you transfer your event ticket to someone else. If you want to transfer your ticket to someone else, it is imperative that you do so before purchasing anything else in our ticket shops.
All purchased vouchers can only be redeemed on location at the event site during the hours indicated. Please, make sure you know where to redeem your vouchers in advance.
For certain events – If you upload a certain amount of credit, you will receive “bonus money” which you only have access to if all your other credit has been used up and can only be redeemed at the bars or beer stalls. Since “bonus money” can’t be refunded after the event, make sure to use up all of it on location before leaving.
In case you have remaining credit on your wristband or card or in your event account dashboard, you can transfer the amount back to your bank account after the event. Please note that bonus money is excluded from this transaction.
CLAIM BALANCE
Can I reclaim my balance during the event?
Unfortunately, the payment of the balance due to technical reasons is not possible on site. The time from which you can post your remaining balance happens 2-5 days after the event, we announce on the Hero Ticket website or social media channels. To reclaim your remaining balance, log in to your event account dashboard and go to the ‘Transactions’ tab.
How can I withdraw my remaining balance? And from when?

PROBLEMS WITH YOUR WRISTBAND OR CARD?
What happens if the chip on my wristband or card is broken? What will happen to my remaining balance?

What happens if I lose my wristband? How do I get my remaining balance?

DATA PROTECTION

The data in your event account dashboard, of course, is always under lock and key. We do not create movement profiles of event visitors, nor do we pass on data to partners and sponsors, and certainly do not sell. Of course, we comply with the applicable data protection rules.
