Wristbands

General Information

All ticket types (PDF, mobile, physical) must be exchanged for a wristband before the event. Wristband exchange can be done during the event week in advance at the designated pre-exchange points in Tampere (Mon-Thu) at Ratina Shopping Center and in Helsinki (Tue-Thu) at Mall of Tripla. Alternatively, wristbands can be exchanged during the festival weekend at Sorin Square.

Wristbands cannot be ordered to your home for the year 2024.

Important! In addition to a wristband, you will need your entry ticket and a valid ID for wristband exchange and age verification at the gates. Please ensure your ID is valid during the festival weekend. Wristbands are exchanged personally and placed directly on your wrist to ensure they are properly secured and to prevent misuse. All wristband types allow re-entry to the festival area. Be prepared for queues upon re-entry. If a customer is too intoxicated, staff have the right to deny entry to the festival area, and in such cases, the festival is not obligated to refund the ticket or package price.

Exclusive and Flex ticket types include a separate wristband exchange point during the festival weekend located at Sorin Square.

The festival wristband is not a payment wristband and does not need to be loaded with money. Purchases at Blockfest can be made with all major bank and credit cards, contactless payments, and mobile payment options.

Have you sold your ticket?

Blockfest and ticket intermediaries are not responsible for tickets sold to third parties or their validity. Note that LiputOn for Tiketti customers and Resale for Ticketmaster customers are the only official places to buy and sell Blockfest tickets.
