FAQ's
What is the age limit for attending UNTOLD?
The festival is open to all ages, but children under 14 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with a valid ticket. Minors between 14 and 18 years old can enter alone but must carry a signed parental consent form available on the website. Children under 7 years of age have free entry when accompanied by a ticket-holding adult, though high-quality ear protection is required.
How does the festival payment system work?
UNTOLD uses a completely cashless system where your festival wristband acts as your digital wallet for all food and merchandise. You can top up your wristband at various credit points throughout the festival grounds using cash or a credit card. Any unspent money on the wristband can be refunded at the end of the festival at the designated refund points or online.
Is there a camping site provided by the festival?
UNTOLD does not have its own official campsite, but it partners with local student campuses to offer affordable dorm-style rooms. These campus accommodations are located within walking distance or a short bus ride from the main venue at Cluj Arena. Most attendees choose to stay in local hotels or apartments in the city center to enjoy the full urban festival experience.
What kind of security measures are in place at the entrance?
The festival has high-level security including bag checks, metal detectors, and a strict list of prohibited items like liquids or professional cameras. Medical tents and First Aid points are stationed throughout the venue to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants. It is important to keep your physical ID with you at all times as security may perform random checks for age or ticket verification.
What happens if I lose my wristband during the event?
If your wristband is damaged or lost, you should immediately report it to the info point or customer service tent with your ticket ID. The staff can deactivate the old wristband and issue a new one for a small replacement fee, provided you have proof of purchase. Always take a photo of your ticket barcode and your wristband serial number upon arrival to make the recovery process much faster.
