Lokerse Feesten

Lokerse Feesten celebrated its 49th edition in August 2024. This festival takes place over 10 days in the heart of Lokeren, welcoming 132,000 attendees throughout the event. 

Given the scale and the varied audience, Weezevent’s solutions have become an integral part of ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all. Our cashless NFC card system was the perfect fit for such a large festival, offering safety, convenience, and seamless operations from start to finish.

The perfect fit: cashless solutions for a festival with a broad audience spanning all age groups.

With the high attendance and diverse age range at Lokerse Feesten, going cashless is a natural choice. Attendees of all generations benefit from the ease and security of NFC payments, eliminating the need to carry cash. Parents can conveniently top up their children’s NFC cards in advance, ensuring seamless purchases for food, drinks, and merchandise. The intuitive design makes transactions effortless for all visitors, enhancing the overall festival experience.

Weezevent’s cashless solution also streamlines spending, removing concerns about lost or stolen cash while offering greater control over transactions. With NFC cards, every purchase is quick and efficient, allowing festival-goers to focus on the music and atmosphere hassle-free.

Cashless flow and real-time insights

Our cashless system provides significant operational benefits for the festival organisers. By tracking transactions in real-time, organisers get immediate insights into sales, enabling them to manage stock efficiently and evaluate vendor performance. At Lokerse Feesten, where 250 devices were used across the festival, vendors were allowed to focus on providing excellent service without worrying about handling cash.

Additionally, Weezevent’s manned top-up stations helped attendees conveniently load their NFC cards. Our close collaboration with the organisers, sitting next to their finance team, made it possible to offer real-time reporting, tracking all incoming sales. This ensured that everything ran smoothly and that every vendor knew precisely how much they made each day.

A worry-free experience, for everyone

Thanks to Weezevent’s reliable cashless solution, Lokerse Feesten was able to focus on what matters most: delivering an exceptional festival experience while simplifying operations. 

The seamless integration of NFC cards not only eliminates the risks associated with handling physical money but also ensures precise stock management and transparent financial reporting. For organisers, this means fewer headaches, more control, and a streamlined process from start to finish, making Lokerse Feesten 2024 a standout example of efficient festival management done right.
