Those have been my questions too! I think they were jumping in a little too fast with this one and I’m glad that they are taking a step back.

hello there…is this just for the alcohol vendors or will this cashless system apply to the food vendors as well? If not then people will need cash anyway so it kind of defeats the purpose I would think. I’m also wondering about what one does if there is cash left on the bracelet?

I’m wondering if there will be a ‘top up’ option like a Timmies card where when you get low it automatically adds a set amount to the bracelet to a credit card you have linked to it.

I love and hate this. I like the idea that you can fill your card up and buying is easy peasy… but I hate the idea that when it runs out, you have to go to one line to load up your card and another to wait for beer. Seems to be easier on volunteers but a bit of a pain for festival attendees.
