ECO-CUPS
Once again this year, we’re opting for Rekwup! reusable cups.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
On arrival, you'll receive an eco-token, which can be exchanged for a cup at any bar.
1 cup = 1 token: you can exchange your cup for a token at any time.
Important: the eco-token only works for cups, it doesn't apply to PET containers such as bottles or cans. If you lose your eco-token or your cup, you'll need to pay half the price of a drink ticket (€1.50) to get a new one.
Follow the rules and you'll never have to pay for a cup!
Please note: tokens and cups are non-refundable — no refunds will be given. Furthermore, cups must remain on the festival site. It is forbidden to take them off the site.
PAY AT THE BAR
Once again, we've partnered with Bancontact Pay to make your festival experience even smoother.
With the Bancontact Pay app, you can pay directly at the bar.
Don't forget to download the app (Apple or Android) before the festival to get the most out of Couleur Café. You can still buy drink tokens on-site via the app, by card, or in cash — whatever works best for you!
