FAQs
Ticket Swap
Already bought your tickets but can’t attend the festival?
Within 14 days of the receipt of payment you can get a refund via Ticket Toaster if you send them a cancellation letter on hallo@tickettoaster.de. There will be a cancellation fee taken from Ticket Toaster which will be 8€ then.
Have the 14 days passed? Please use the Ticket Toaster ticket swap system until July 7th 7PM!
You can find the ticket swap here.
Hint: Tickets are only personalized with your name once you download them a few days before the event. So you can still pass them on to friends or others when the swap system is already shut down.
Note: there is no other way to resell your tickets!
Existing Login-details
Why can’t I login on my old account anymore?
→ Are you sure, this was the e-mail address you used last year? If yes, and it still does not work, please reset your password. If this does not work as well, please get in contact with: hallo@tickettoaster.de
RFID
What is rfid?
→ For the second year, an electronic wristband (RFID) with saved credit will replace paper vouchers for environmental reasons, convenience and efficiency.
Bars and food stands will be equipped with RFID scanners and at our SZORRY Top-up Stations.
How does this work?
→ Top-ups are quick and easy by Cash (Euro, Zloty) or Credit & Debit Cards. Credit will automatically go straight to your wristband.
In addition, we offer a ‘Monster Card’ top-up option. This way, you can all share one card with your partying group.
Can I tip at the bars or food stalls?
→ Tipping is easy, you can tip the amount on the RFID screen yourself and then your choice will ask for confirmation.
Service is not included so tips are very welcome.
Top up App
This year we have a super easy top up option: The Ticket Toaster App!
→ Avoid the queue and just top up (and refund!) your RFID Chip through the app.
→ Simply download the app with your smartphone. The payment will go via credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Your wristband will update automatically with the next payment.
→ Should your wristband not update automatically after you use the app to add to your balance, you can always scan & update it at the infopoint. Please really make sure that this is always the case to make sure the top up went through. There are also self scanners, where you can check if the balance was updated.
→ With this link (https://bon.link/garbicz23) you can download the app from now on, so it´ll be ready to use on your phone when you need it.
Pre-Define Your Garbicz Credit
Besides uploading your Szorries on your wristband at our top-up stations on field, you can now pre-define a credit prior to the event.
Save time, avoid queues, and spend more time on the dancefloor.
All you need to do is to choose from €100, €150, or €200 to pre-define your credit volume, enter your credit card or bank information when downloading your ticket and you are good to go!
We won’t charge or block the amount when you buy your ticket – you will only be charged for every purchase made during the festival and you will be sent a receipt so you can keep track of your credit allowance.
If it’s not what you’re into that’s cool too, you can always choose to opt out and load money onsite if you want to keep things old-school. Everyone’s a winner.
Accommodation
Where will I sleep?
TENT
→ You can pitch up your tent only in the special areas which you will see on the map.
→ If your tent is somewhere else, it will be removed.
→ If you have a choice, please go for a small and cosy tent home. So we all have enough space to live. Sound systems are something we build, please leave yours at home.
TENTING DELUXE
→ Coming from far and can’t bring your own tent equipment?
Instead of buying one-time stuff, we have a sustainable option with our tenting deluxe.
Pre-set up and decorated bell tents, coming with all you need to have a super comfy stay at Garbicz.
INTRODUCING OUR TENTING LAKESIDE
For those who want a simpler option, we offer a fully erected ridge tent with basic bedding included, no pitching tents or blowing up mattresses required! All you need to bring is a little deco and bling to make your tent sparkle and sing!

CAMPER
→ If you come with your camper you need a camperticket. You really can’t park your camper anywhere around Garbicz Festival without that special ticket.
→ This year’s changes also extend to caravan camping. We have three dedicated zones for RV/Caravan/Car camping – Sunrise Camp, Silent Camp, and the Village Camp RV.
– At Sunrise camp your crew can book a 12×6 metre area for your RV, Caravan, Car, and any friends with tents that would like to join for a package of €450
– At Silent Camp your crew can book a 8×4 metre area for your RV, Caravan, Car, and any friends with tent that would like to join for a package of €300
One ticket includes: one vehicle (RV, Caravan or Car) and tents.
– Village Camp RV offers additional parking spaces in the village for €200, best suited for a single vehicle and possibly a small tent for a maximum of four people. STILL ON SALE!
– And if none of the above works for you, you can always book yourself a tent at our wonderful tent hotel, or bring your own tent to be a little closer to the action!

Food and beverages
How and where will I eat and drink?
→ You have a credit of 80 € for food and drinks, which is loaded on your RFID chip on site, so you can feast and relax right after your arrival. We serve international cuisine and Polish classics as well as a wide selection of drinks. It is worth trying our delicious and multicultural food stands.
May I bring own drinks and food?
→ In the surrounding area you have the possibility to buy your own food and drinks, and you may also bring it from home. Barbecues are not allowed! Do not leave any rubbish after the festival.
Drinking water?
→ Our tap water is drinkable.
We are committed to making our festival greener to help the environment that sustains us. In our efforts to eliminate plastic and disposable waste we have included our signature Garbicz festival stainless steel water bottle in the ticket price. This way we can guarantee everyone attending the festival has a reusable water bottle and can do their part to eliminate plastic.
The water bottle included in the ticket price holds 300ml, but we also give you the option to upgrade to 500ml or 750ml for an extra €5 or €10 respectively when you buy your ticket. Your chosen water bottle is then saved on your wristband and can be picked up at the Garbicz Kiosk or the Infopoint on site, it’s that simple!
In addition to this, we are providing more water stations around the festival site this year that will provide everyone with fresh filtered drinking water from our wells that are about a 100 metres deep. This way, you can rest assured you are drinking locally-sourced water of the highest quality that is much better for you than water from a plastic water bottle, and in turn, much better for our environment.
