Persons will only be allowed access to the Venue if the capacity is not full. Attendees with a Type of Ticket that allows access to a specific area within the Venue will only be allowed access if the capacity is not full.

7. PAYMENT SYSTEMS PERMITTED WITHIN THE VENUE: CASHLESS
The only payment system accepted within the Venue is the Cashless system (payment by wristband) operated by Idasfest. The use of this system necessarily implies the acceptance of the terms and conditions of this platform, which you will find here.
The use of such a system does not entail any cost for the Attendee (notwithstanding any bank charges that may be levied by your own financial institution).
The Wristbands that allow access to the Festival have a technological device that works as a coin purse and that will allow the Attendees (after topping up) to purchase products and services within the Festival. In this way, the payment by the Attendee for any drink, product or service within the Venue will be made by reading the chip on your wristband.
Attendees will be able to top up the credit on their wristbands and then use them to make payments inside the Venue, both before and during the Festival, using the Recharge Points. Further information can be found here.
Except at the Recharge Points, and at those other points where the possibility of using another means of payment is expressly stated, PAYMENT FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE WITHIN THE VENUE BY ANY METHOD OF PAYMENT OTHER THAN CASHLESS (including payment by cash, card, bizum or any other) IS NOT PERMITTED. Any Attendee who makes or attempts to make payment for goods or services within the Venue in contravention of this provision may be ejected from the Venue by security and control staff..
KEEP YOUR WRISTBAND AFTER THE FESTIVAL SO THAT YOU CAN REDEEM THE UNUSED BALANCE. Once the Festival is over, you will receive information with the procedure to follow and deadlines to recover the unused balance of your wristband. It is very important that you follow the steps indicated in order to recoup the unused balance of your wristband. We also inform you that:
(i) The unconsumed balance cannot be refunded on the spot, but refunds will be processed at the end of the Festival, once the refund procedure has been initiated.
(ii) IT IS THE ATTENDEE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REQUEST REFUNDS of unused balances. Refunds will not be made unless previously requested.
(iii) To request a refund you will need the CODE THAT APPEARS ON YOUR WRISTBAND.
(iv) It is the Attendee's responsibility to provide all the information required to complete the refund of unconsumed balances in a timely manner.
(v) Once a refund has been requested, it is NOT immediate. Both the Idasfest platform and the Organising Body will work to ensure that Attendees who have requested a refund of their unused balances receive them as soon as possible. However, this process may take time. For information purposes only, it is noted that the average time for processing refunds is approximately 10 working days from the date of request. This period may be altered for many reasons, including, but not limited to, when the information provided by the Attendee is incomplete or contains an error, in the case of non-Spanish bank accounts or cards, or in the case of any other incident, whether technical or of any other nature.
(vi) The recovery of unused balances is free of charge for the Attendee ( notwithstanding any bank charges that may be levied by the Attendee's own financial institution).
(vii) Unconsumed balances will in no case be refunded in cash, but will be paid to the account/credit/debit card number provided by the Attendee.
Further information on the Cashless system can be found here.
8. FOOD AND BEVERAGE OUTLETS
In order to ensure the safety, hygiene and health of the Attendees (including food safety), no food or drink may be brought into the Venue.

When using the Cloakroom, you should bear the following in mind:
- The Cloakroom may not be used to leave garments between Festival Sessions.

- The Organising Body IS UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES RESPONSIBLE for any garments left in the cloakroom (including theft, loss or damage).

However, any of these may be subject to change at any time and without prior notice, either due to the needs of the Festival itself or for reasons beyond the control of the Organiser.
To this end, the Organiser reserves the right to modify, suspend or alter any of the activities and performances shown on the Festival poster. In no event will such changes give rise to any right to a refund or reimbursement of the price of the Ticket purchased.
Wherever possible, changes before and during the Festival will be announced on the Organiser’s website and social media and Festival APP.
12. CANCELLATIONS
Total Cancellation of a Festival Session
In the event of a total cancellation of a Festival Session, the following shall apply:
