# Tomorrowland wristband and app: activation and tips

**Short answer:** The Tomorrowland bracelet is your ticket and your wallet. In 2026 it shipped in a Treasure Case to the main buyer's address from late June, and every visitor activates their own bracelet in their Tomorrowland account, then tops up Pearls under My Bracelet. If it never arrives, collect it at the Bracelet Pick-Up Desk with e-ticket and ID.

## What is the Tomorrowland bracelet?

The bracelet is your entry ticket to Tomorrowland Belgium and your wallet at the same time. On the festival site you only pay with Pearls loaded onto the bracelet, and cash is not accepted.

The bracelet is personal. Every ticket must be personalised by the person who is going, in their own Tomorrowland account, and the name must match the ID you show. Names cannot be changed after personalisation, and copies of ID are not accepted.

## When does the bracelet ship?

Bracelets are sent out in a Treasure Case shortly before the festival. For 2026, deliveries went to the main buyer's address from late June and early July. The 2027 dates have not been announced, but expect the same pattern: the bracelet arrives a few weeks before the festival, not straight after you order.

The Treasure Case has its own fee, which is not included in the ticket price. This is what it was in 2026, converted at the ECB rate of 14 October 2026:

| Delivery to | Fee 2026 (EUR) | Approx. SEK | Approx. NOK |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Belgium | 15 | 167 | 159 |
| Rest of the EU (e.g. Sweden, Denmark) | 22 | 245 | 233 |
| Rest of the world | 31 | 346 | 329 |

Norway is not in the EU, so a delivery to a Norwegian address most likely falls under the rest-of-the-world rate. Check the amount in your order.

Two dates in the terms are worth noting. In 2026, 31 March at 23:59 was the last day to change your address if you had moved, and the same day was the last chance to get the Treasure Case fee back on a cancellation.

Plan the handover within your group. Everything goes to the main buyer, so if you live in different cities the bracelets need to be passed on before you travel. Do it in good time, not on the bus or at the gate.

## How to activate your bracelet

Every visitor activates their own bracelet. The main buyer cannot do it for the rest of the group. This is how it works:

1. **Create your own Tomorrowland account** if you do not have one. The email address cannot be changed later, so pick one you will keep.
2. **Accept and personalise the ticket** the main buyer sends you, in your name and exactly as it appears on your ID.
3. **Wait for the Treasure Case** and get your bracelet from the main buyer.
4. **Log in to your account** and go to My Bracelet.
5. **Activate your bracelet** there.
6. **Top up Pearls online** if you want to skip the queues at the top-up points.

According to Tomorrowland's terms, tickets that are not personalised can be cancelled, so do not put off step 2. The full ticket process, from pre-registration to the sale, is in [how to get Tomorrowland tickets](https://tomorrowland.se/en/guides/how-to-get-tomorrowland-tickets/).

## Topping up Pearls on the bracelet

Pearls are Tomorrowland's festival currency. In 2026 you got 10.5 Pearls for EUR 20, which makes one Pearl about EUR 1.905, or about SEK 21 or NOK 20. You can top up in two ways, and the difference shows after the festival:

| | Online (My Bracelet) | On site (Top-Up) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Payment | Visa, Mastercard, Bancontact, iDEAL | Cash or card |
| Refund of leftover Pearls | Automatic | Manual request needed |

You top up at least EUR 20 and then in steps of EUR 10. Each top-up can be at most EUR 1,000 and the account can hold at most EUR 5,000. Pearls are only valid for the weekend you attend, and the refund costs 2 Pearls. Bonus Pearls are not refunded. In 2026 the automatic refund started on 24 July for Weekend 1 and on 31 July for Weekend 2.

Scandinavian Visa and Mastercard cards work for online top-ups; Bancontact and iDEAL are Belgian and Dutch payment methods. Every detail on the rate, top-ups and refunds is on the [Pearls page](https://tomorrowland.se/en/pearls/).

## If the bracelet does not arrive

If the Treasure Case does not arrive in time, it is not the end of the world. Tomorrowland has a Bracelet Pick-Up Desk at DreamVille entrance 1 and at the main festival entrance. Bring:

- your e-ticket (on your phone or printed)
- a valid original ID with the same name as the ticket

This is also the backup plan if the bracelet gets left at home. Expect a queue and go as early as you can, not right before your favourite set.

## Common bracelet mistakes

Most bracelet problems can be avoided in advance:

- **Wrong name at personalisation**: the name must match your ID exactly, and it cannot be changed afterwards.
- **Bracelet not activated**: do not top up or count on it working until you have activated it in your own account.
- **Pearls topped up on site but no refund request**: if you top up at the Top-Up points, you have to ask for the leftovers back yourself. In 2026 the form closed in mid-August (Tomorrowland's own pages give both 13 and 14 August).
- **Late handover in the group**: the main buyer receives all bracelets. Hand them out before travel day.
- **A bracelet from the resale market**: see below.

## If you lose the bracelet

Block the bracelet in your Tomorrowland account as soon as you notice it is gone, so nobody else can spend your Pearls. On the festival site, go to Cashless Customer Service next to the info points; in DreamVille, go to the Bracelet Troubleshoot desk at one of the entrances. Under the terms you are responsible for the bracelet once you have received it, and Tomorrowland is not obliged to replace it or refund the ticket. Take a photo of the codes on the back of the bracelet before you travel. Other lost items are reported through iLost.

The best protection is keeping the bracelet on your wrist all weekend, including when you sleep in DreamVille.

## The Tomorrowland app and your account

What many people search for as "My Tomorrowland" is your Tomorrowland account. That is where everything to do with tickets, personalisation, the bracelet and Pearls is handled. You already need the account for pre-registration. Everything you do in the account over the year, from pre-registration to refunds, is covered in [Tomorrowland account](https://tomorrowland.se/en/guides/tomorrowland-account/).

The Tomorrowland App has One World Radio and on-demand content, among other things; see [Tomorrowland livestream and radio](https://tomorrowland.se/en/guides/tomorrowland-livestream/). We have not been able to confirm which festival features the app will have for 2027, so rely on your account for anything to do with the bracelet.

## Bracelets on the resale market

Never buy a bracelet or ticket outside Tomorrowland's official channels. The only permitted resale channel is the Exchange Desk, which in 2026 was open from 3 February to 30 April. All other resale is prohibited, and Belgian law bans resale at a profit, with fines of up to EUR 60,000.

Since the name on the ticket must match your ID and names cannot be changed, a bracelet bought from a stranger can be stopped at the entrance. The warning signs and rules are covered in [Tomorrowland ticket resale](https://tomorrowland.se/en/guides/tomorrowland-ticket-resale/), and the full ticket guide is on [tickets](https://tomorrowland.se/en/tickets/).

Tomorrowland.se is an unofficial fan site. The current rules for bracelets and delivery are on tomorrowland.com.
