METALDAYS CASHLESS
The personal account is the most important tool for the festival. You can connect your ticket and register it to your name, create your cashless account and top it up before the festival.
As in previous editions of the festival, MetalDays 2023 is running partially with the Cashless system. Food and Drink are paid exclusively with the Cashless system. Official Festival Merch, Official Band Merch, Payments at the Box Office and Payments at the Metal Market Boots, and Local Market can also be made with cash or credit card.
