A Magical Currency
ALL YOU NEED IS PEARLS
You ski, you dance, you drink, you eat at Tomorrowland Winter and you want no hassle. And you won’t have any as there is absolutely no need to carry a wallet at the festival grounds in Alpe d’Huez; the entire event is completely cashless. Want to make your time at Tomorrowland as easy as possible? Create a Tomorrowland Account real quick. Not only do you as an account holder receive useful updates about the festival, it is also where you top up your balance more swiftly than anywhere else. How does this all work? You’ll read about it on this page.
A magical currency
Tomorrowland has left coins and tokens behind ages ago in favour of something much more magical: Pearls. Every fourteen Pearls are worth €30. The Tomorrowland Pearls aren’t physical Pearls as these would end up all over your winter jacket just like old fashioned coins; they’re virtual Pearls and they live inside your Bracelet. On the festival grounds, you can literally get everything by means of your Pearls. In fact, no other currencies, not even Pounds, Euros or Dollars, are able to score you food, drinks or exclusive TML by Tomorrowland items. Your Bracelet holds more than your Pearls alone by the way; it grants you access to the various mountain stages and even your Lift & Ski Pass is integrated in your Bracelet.
How to top up
Adding Pearls to your Bracelet can be done in two different ways. The easiest option is to go to your Tomorrowland Account and choose My Bracelet. Anyone who’s added their Pearls this way will automatically receive a refund should there be any Pearls left on their account by the end of the festival. Your second option is to make use of the cashless top-up booths at the festival site where you can use your debit card or credit card to top up. This method does not come with an automatic refund.
Refunds
You don’t need to do anything if you’ve topped up your Bracelet online. All the Pearls left on your bracelet, will be automatically returned to you. In case you’ve topped up at one of the top-up booths on site, you will need to fill out a manual refund form which will be available at Tomorrowland Winter. Make sure to enter the correct details and to complete the manual request by 15 April 2022 the latest. Better yet: top up online and all you need to do once Tomorrowland Winter has come to an end is pack your bags and go!
How to wear your Bracelet
Make sure your Bracelet is on your left-hand wrist with the Tomorrowland logo facing you and that the Bracelet isn’t upside down. This way, queues will be shorter and everyone will be able to quickly reach the top of the mountain. When getting drinks or food, just show the icon on your wristband for scanning and you're ready to go.
