Must-have items for a festival: What not to forget?

Enjoy the summer festival season to the fullest with our guide to essentials that should not be missing at any festival or concert. We have prepared a list of must-have items that will ensure comfort and fun, but most importantly, a carefree course of the whole event! What should you definitely not forget before the festival?

Tickets and documents

You can't get into the festival without tickets, but you definitely don't need to print them – think about the environment. A QR code on your phone is enough, ideally directly in the NFCtron mobile app so you have everything in one place. Ecology and sustainability are a big challenge for us and the organizers, which is why in the 2024 season we introduced the Mastercard & Priceless Planet Coalition festival forest project, where you can contribute to more sustainable festivals directly in the app.

Documents are essential, having them on your mobile will definitely suffice – with the ticket in the NFCtron app, online topped-up credit and ID stored in your mobile you definitely don't need to bring your wallet to the event.

NFCtron mobile app in your phone

What should you definitely not miss? Our NFCtron app, which gives you an overview of your expenses and allows you to enjoy the festival to the fullest.

Download the NFCtron mobile app, load the activated chip and keep track of your spending. After each payment you will also receive a notification, don't forget to enable them on your phone. Through the app you can also rate your orders with stars and comments, providing the organizer with valuable feedback. After the event you can easily request a refund of the remaining credit back to your bank account.



The app is available on the App Store and Google Play. For full functionality the NFC technology is needed on your phone.

Cash-free convenience

You don't need cash! Thanks to payments with a chip bracelet or a payment card you don't have to worry about change on-site. You can also top up the credit for payments in advance online – through NFCtron Tickets or the iOS NFCtron mobile app for free. This way you save time and speed up your entry to the venue.

Do you have a camping spot?

An inseparable part of the festival experience. A tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat and flashlight are essential gear to ensure a comfortable sleep and survival through the festival night. And what's more? At some festivals you can even purchase a camping spot directly when buying your ticket through NFCtron Tickets with add-ons.

Comfortable clothing and shoes

Clothes make the man and at a festival, this is doubly true! The more comfortable you feel in your outfit, the more you will enjoy the festival. Say goodbye to high heels and put on sneakers that will last all day and night. And don't forget clothes suitable for all weather - festival fashion must be practical and stylish! Your outfit will also be spiced up with a designer chip bracelet, are you excited?

Sunglasses, sunscreen and headwear

Is it even necessary to explain why you shouldn't miss sunglasses at a festival? Probably not. No one wants to squint all day. Sunglasses not only add a stylish touch but can also cover up dark circles after a night of dancing. Sunscreen will prevent you from looking like a grilled chicken. Don't forget headwear whether it's a stylish hat or cap to protect you from overheating and add that perfect summer look to your outfit.


Raincoat or waterproof jacket

Even if the forecast promises sunshine, the weather at festivals is unpredictable. A raincoat or jacket takes up minimal space, but in case of rain it will save you and you'll be glad to stay dry.

Pocket first aid kit and earplugs are a must

A small first aid kit with band-aids, bandages, disinfectant and basic medications can be a lifesaver in an emergency. Festivals are full of loud music and ubiquitous noise. When the noise becomes unbearable, earplugs work like a magic „mute“ button for the whole world. Take care of your hearing so you can fully enjoy your favorite event.

Don't forget good mood

Finally, the most important must-have is your good mood and openness to new experiences. Festivals are about meeting people, discovering new music and dancing until dawn. So, enjoy it and be ready for unexpected thrills!



Now you know what to pack to fully enjoy the festival. And remember, with the NFCtron app you have everything under control - from tickets to spending. So, where are you headed this year?
