Wristband Registration

DO NOT TRY ON YOUR WRISTBAND BEFORE THE EVENT.

Once it is tightened, it cannot be loosened. Please put it in a safe location before the event, and only put it on when you are on your way to the grounds. If your wristband has been cut or tampered with upon entry to the festival, it will be VOID.

 

Country Boom is a cashless event that uses RFID wristbands linked to your credit card to allow you to purchase food and drinks quickly and efficiently.  Link your credit card to your wristband by following the steps below:

 

1. Navigate to Registration Page

  • Option A: Scan the QR code
    • Use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code located on the back of the wristband saddle. This will open the registration page in your browser.
  • Option B: Tap your phone to the wristband (NEW for 2025!)
    • If your phone supports NFC (most modern phones do), hold the back of your phone close to the wristband saddle. This should automatically launch the registration page.
  • Tip: If nothing happens when you tap, try scanning the QR code on the wristband instead, or click here!

2. Create Your Account

  • You’ll be directed to a secure site. Sign up using your email or through a social login option.

3. Register Your Wristband

  • Click "Register." Your wristband’s UID should automatically appear in the registration form thanks to NFC. Verify that the UID that is populated matches the one printed on the back of your wristband saddle. If you weren’t able to use the NFC option, type in your UID code manually. Always double check it!

4. Add Your Info

  • Enter your name, contact details, and credit or debit card information. For extra security, you can also create a 4-digit PIN to authorize each purchase.

5. Complete Registration

  • Once you're done, your wristband is ready to use! You can link multiple wristbands to one wallet account if you're managing purchases for a group.

 

WHAT COMPANY ARE YOU USING FOR CASHLESS?

We're using Billfold (billfoldpos.com) for our cashless system.

WHAT IF I LOSE MY WRISTBAND?

If you set up a PIN, you're protected! Visit Guest Services to block it so no one else can use it.

CAN I USE CASH?

Yes! Go to a Cash Loading location to load cash onto your wristband. Unused funds can be refunded after the festival, Sunday, from 8a - Noon on site.

IS MY CARD INFO SAFE?

Absolutely. Your card info is never stored on the wristband. All data is kept in a secure, PCI-compliant vault.

WHAT IF I ENTERED THE WRONG EMAIL OR DIDN’T OPT-IN FOR RECEIPTS?

No worries—visit Guest Services to re-register your card and opt-in with the correct email.

HOW DOES TIPPING WORK?

Just like a regular checkout—choose your tip amount before confirming the transaction. Tips are optional and customizable.

CAN I LOAD MONEY ONTO MY WRISTBAND WITH A CARD?

Yes! Cards link directly to your wristband for pay-as-you-go purchases. You’re only charged when you buy something. Link your card here.

DO I NEED TO ACTIVATE MY WRISTBAND BEFORE ARRIVING?

If you received your wristband in the mail, it’s already activated AND you're good to head directly to security! If you have to pick it up on-site, you will need to get it activated on-site at the Box Office, otherwise, you will not be able to enter the grounds.

HOW DO I ACTIVATE MY WRISTBAND?

See question above - but to REGISTER your information, visit this link. This can be done at ANY time!

CAN I LINK THE SAME CARD TO MULTIPLE WRISTBANDS?

Yes! After registering the first, you can link your card to others.

IS MY CARD INFO ON THE WRISTBAND?

Nope. All info is stored securely off-site.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I LOAD ON MY WRISTBAND?

No need to load a specific amount if using a card—it charges as you go.

DOES MY PIN HAVE TO MATCH MY CARD PIN?

No. Use any four digits you’ll remember—we recommend the last four of your phone number.

WHAT IF I FORGET MY PIN?

You can reset it via your phone or at a registration stand on-site.

CAN I SWITCH THE CARD LINKED TO MY WRISTBAND?

Yes! Log into your account anytime or visit Guest Services for help.

DO I STILL NEED TO CARRY MY ID?

Yes, if you plan to buy alcohol.

HOW LONG DOES MY WRISTBAND STAY ACTIVE?

It’s only valid for this event.

IS THIS A SECURE FORM OF PAYMENT?

Yes! It’s safer than carrying cards. All payment info is stored securely off-site.
